In the end, Commander Agnes decided to trust Kent, with some reservations, of course.
She first retrieved an item from her space ring and presented it to Kent.
"This is a Blood Oath stone," Commander Agnes said. "Before we continue, you must sign a blood contract that you will not betray me after sharing what I know with you.
Also, in the event that we manage to retrieve the Soul Flame Fruit, you must keep my true identity a secret and also help me tame a Tier 19 beast like you promised.
Should something happen and this alliance can't continue, we will go our separate ways, and this oath will be void.
However, if you go against your words, then you will die an agonising death, one that you don't wish to experience."
"Wow, we haven't known each other for long, and you are already pulling out a marriage contract," Kent joked, looking at the Blood Oath stone in Commander Agnes's hands.
