Lord Lithos cast a spell using his staff to paralyze Drake, Gerard dropped to his knees shaking, It was too close figuratively he had experienced a near-death situation. If Lord Lithos acts a second too late, he would have been stabbed to his heart, shattering his core in the process.
Even Philip and Princess Alecia gasp in this scene, it was breathtaking, They obviously still care for Gerard and didn't do anything bad to happen to him.
The next scenario was Tyrus took his blade and helped Gerard ti stand up then Tyrus handed him the dagger, Gerard was confused by this action of Tyrus.
