Apprehended

Erich had seriously begun to suspect that he was a beacon of bad luck. Admittedly, many of the problems he had in life were the fault of his own foolish actions, but this was not something he could have ever anticipated, nor was it something he was responsible for in the slightest. 

Seemingly out of nowhere, the Alfheim Princess had apologized to Erich for making an attempt on his life, and then clutched his head to her bosom. Which, to the Asterion dynasty, was not only a sign of proposal but also an enormous taboo. And Celestia had chosen to do this wild act in front of the Alfheim Quadrant's many leaders. 

Among them were Emrys and Yumi, who gazed upon Erich's predicament with not only shock, but lament. The Asterion Dynasty and its Empress were the overlords of this quadrant of space. If Lunaria wanted to execute Erich, for whatever reason, she could do so, and nobody would make a move to stop her.
