Someone betrayed him.
A traitor was hiding among friendly faces.
Lucivar is not stupid.
He once loved his mom and brother deeply, willing to do anything for them, even if it meant sacrificing his own life in the process, so he knew one thing. People can change. And most of the time, in a world like this, they changed for the worse.
Someone betraying him, Lucivar had considered that possibility long ago.
In fact, he began thinking about that back when he killed his own doppelganger.
Just the look Mirel and Leandra gave him was enough to make him consider that possibility.
But what he didn't expect was for them to find the opposing avatar first.
None of them knew about his real identity as the Blessed Oracle, as the avatar of multiple Gods, so he dismissed the thought of them betraying him to this extent. At the time, it was extremely unlikely, and that's precisely the reason he was now caught off guard.
Never again.
