So, after they attack the camp, ernon shows up and starts attacking too, and since they are losing, ernon doesn't want to give into the hands of the prince, so he tries to blow himself up. And then prince remembers that Kashir asked him to save ernon because he was under a slave contract and was good to her. So ernon wakes up and talks with the prince and finds out that Kashir was a spy. He begins to despair, but then the prince tells him that Kashir asked him to save ernon. And then ernon is delighted and wants to see Kashmir, but can't cuz she is on another mission. But yeah, the prince offers ernon to come over to their side and with a collar that he has on that erases the slave spell when he has it on, but ernon is unsure so he doest say yes right away and the prince gives him time to think about it.
please please please take him in your faction, I'm dying a little inside imagining Ernon's reaction when he finds out
