Bringing the name of his brother into this was a very low blow.
"Lantis knew what was to come and his kind heart could not stand to witness it."
As his defense suggested Zagato did not blame Lantis for leaving... had it been possible he too would have left Cephiro far behind, if only Emeraude could have traveled away with him. As long as she had been trapped on that world then he was also it's prisoner. That is why Cephiro needed to be destroyed.
"I hid Emeraude in a place I thought she would be safe. I protected her from those who meant to harm her... it was you who aided the Magic Knights despite knowing what would happen! If you had joined me we could have killed the Magic Knights long before they ever became a threat to Emeraude's life!"
