In the tent, Leon listened to Princess Ines speak of her difficulties and responded thoughtfully: "I indeed have a way to escape once I enter the Cursed Land, and I can try it. However, that realm is unpredictable, and I cannot guarantee that I will find that person, but I will do my best."
"You are willing to cast aside past grievances with Marquis Orad and risk yourself. I am already immensely grateful. Regardless if you can retrieve the son of the Eastern Border Duke from that dreadful place, I shall heavily reward you afterward," said Princess Ines with a nod.
Leon's spirits lifted upon hearing this, which was exactly what he had been waiting for. He promptly disclosed his actual request for coming to her aid: "Given that, Your Highness, if I can help you rescue that person, I wonder if you could also assist me afterward."
"Of course, feel free to talk about it." Seeing that he also had requests of his own, Princess Ines became enthusiastic.
