I don't get Ethan's actions rn. Like what's the point of it?

Probably exhausting Hart troops fighting just a few of Uvera army (that his brother commands)
And being an spy for Uvera, this will probably give him honor to come back and win the hand of the princess, letting his brother in a bad place (but not dead just seeming like a coward, probably losing his standing)
I just loved the fl entrance here!! And also the fact that the author didn't shove the fl in our faces the entire series is such a fresh breath air. I loved that she worked towards her goal but still at his breaking point she came as a reminder that this new life is different
