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!
