Is there a way to do this? If I don't kill the baby I lose not just the Unbroken, but every damn faction I have allied with. Kinda annoying.
You can find a document in the Burning Library that discusses abdicating claims. With this knowledge, you can convince Ashe Jr to end the line of Regents in a less cruel way.
I've read elsewhere that a suitably high enough Lore skill will do the trick, but I'm not sure I've seen that option and cannot comment on it.
But did it break your alliances?In my case it was Lore 69 that did the trick. I could lawyer out of infanticide.

You can also head back to court and talk to one of the Fatebinders and they will tell you a story about a noble women who created a loophole for whatever reason that I forget now. You can then go back and tell the mom about this loophole which is the exact same one as the one you get with when passing the lore check. I have not lost any alliances because of this myself.
