Although later rescued by the [[Highland Army]], Luca would always hold his father responsible for the events and their repercussions, including the breakdown and eventual death of Sara.

By the time of the [[Dunan Unification War]] in 460, Agares found himself unable to silence the hardline factions opposed to his peaceful policies. As the war raged under Luca's direction, Luca and [[Jowy Atreides]] plotted to overthrow Agares, both for their own purposes. Nominating Jowy for knighthood led to the [[Knight's Oath]] ceremony where Agares drank the [[Wine of Fealty]], containing the blood of the oath bearer as was the tradition. | By the time of the [[Dunan Unification War]] in 460, Agares found himself unable to silence the hardline factions opposed to his peaceful policies.
