"We've discovered he's a high-ranking blackguard. Even worse, he was directly responsible for the capture and imprisonment of Erik's father, which we know well led to Lucius' death. Erik often spoke about him during our time in Frant, especially in high school. However, Erik only learned about his uncle's involvement with the blackguards while in Etrium. He is basically Erik's main target. Even the blackguards as a whole are not as important as him."
Emily and Mira exchanged shocked glances.
"So Erik's targeting his own uncle?" Emily asked.
Amber nodded. "He is not really his uncle, mind that. It's just how Erik called him, an honorific of the sort. This explains why he wants to stay there and fight. He's not just fighting the blackguards; he's going after the man who betrayed his family."
The group fell silent for a moment. "This doesn't change the fact he wants us to bombard the same area in which he is."
