Fair daughter abducted from Asian emperor (9)
I believe the answer is:
justinian
'emperor' is the definition.
(I know that Justinian is a emperor)
'fair daughter abducted from asian' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'fair' could be 'just' (associated in meaning) and 'just' is present in the answer.
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ian' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for justinian that I've seen before include "imperial ruler?" , "emperor" .)
