Rand had put the iron muzzle back on, feeling a sense of balance.
The power of the Curse, the strength of the Crest Power on his forehead, and the restraint brought by the iron muzzle made him feel like a normal person.
"How can I obtain this power?" Lind asked.
He no longer needed to go to the Abyss, as he already bore the Curse on his body, making it the best option to try.

Swearing allegiance meant the contract was established. No one knew what would happen if someone broke the oath, but even the worst people never thought about breaking it casually.
In a world with gods, the binding power of language was stronger than one might imagine.
However, Lind preferred to believe that in the land of the Rand Kingdom, being a Duke, if there were any traitors, the Thunder would probably help him punish them.
"I love poetry!" Lind exclaimed.
