Expecting a reward for his contribution to the victory over Yelenetta and Shelbia, Van asks the king for priority access to the Central Continent’s trade routes—all in the name of procuring rare and delicious foods, of course.

Which can only mean one thing—Van must use his magic to spruce up the place for her!
