Even if there's a high chance for this whole plan to succeed, there's also a high chance that a sacrifice will be made.
And Eric has gotten enough of seeing his beloved sacrifice a lot of things. Seraphine is wise, strong, and capable – but she's still human. Historia might get her way in this lifetime again, especially considering that Skye and Pacifica are most probably backing her up.
Thinking that it's still too risky, he shook his head.
"And what if she ends up getting you instead? You can't underestimate her-"
"I'm not underestimating her, which is why I'm going to do everything I can to be a step ahead of her. Please, trust me, Your Highness…" Seraphine continued to beg and reassure Eric.
"Don't think that these three lifetimes have done more than enough damage on me that I can no longer fight. Instead, think that these three lifetimes have made me who I am today no matter how much they broke me. I can still do it."
