Quest Dialogue:
- Baron Nielsen: "My wife has been gone for ages. She's most likely gone to see the Liafort again. She does this to me all the time. Young man, might I ask a favor? My wife has wandered off to the Ivory Peaks. Bring her back and I will reward you."
- Rush: "Nah, sounds like a hassle."
- Baron Nielsen: "Hmph."
- or:
- Rush: "Sure, why not?"
- Baron Nielsen: "Thank you, young man. Off you go."
Upon asking again...:
- Baron Nielsen: "I ask you again. My Wife has wandered off to the Ivory Peaks. Bring her back and I will reward you."
- Rush: "Nah, sounds like a hassle."
- Baron Nielsen: "Hmph."
- or:
- Rush: "Sure, why not?"
- Baron Nielsen: "Thank you, young man. Off you go."
Reporting to the Baron after suspending the quest...:

- Rush: "Calm down. Maybe later."
- Baron Nielsen: "What a rude young man you are! Off with you!"
- or:
- Rush: "I was just about to go get her."
- Baron Nielsen: "Why are you still here? Off you go!"
After we find the wife...:
- Gabriel: "Violet, let's return to Celapaleis. Your husband is sure to have sent some goons after you."
- Violet: "Gabriel, I don't know what to do. The Gilles-Barre family treasure was taken and now stands surrounded by filthy monsters!"
- Gabriel: "Calm down, Violet. The Liafort's grandeur is still as apparent as before."
- Violet: "Who's there? He sent you, didn't he?"
- Gabriel: "I didn't expect such a large party."
Apparently we're blind, because we notice these hordes of monsters just now. We kill them nonetheless.
- Violet: "The Gilles-Barres used to own this area, but as soon as it came under Celapaleis's rule, the land quickly began to decline. Many moved to Celapaleis. The Duke of Qubine forced me to marry Nielsen in hopes of destroying my family name. I will not let anyone sully the Gilles-Barre name! And I will not remain married to that pompous fool!"
- Gabriel: "Violet, I know why you do this, but you have to take action a different way."
- Violet: "I know you understand me. But why do you always stop me from doing what I think is right?"
- Gabriel: "I'm just worried about you. Let's return to Celapaleis for now."
- Violet: "... You're right. Let's go back."
- Baron Nielsen: "Thank you. Violet has finally returned to me... Although she's kept herself locked in her room since she came back. I understand her frustration regarding her family's situation, but she must understand that no dynasty lasts forever. Enough of my ramblings. Here is your promised reward. (Gold, whee!)
- "Till we meet again."
Old Baron knows she'll run away again, or something?
