Minestus was quite put out by the two princesses' escape. It meant that he was for the time being three short of the number that he needed for the ritual rather than only one. The head of whichever guard could be shown to be culpable would roll as a result - or more likely be incinerated by his fiery breath.
It was highly unlikely that the women could manage to get out of the caves, given the magical wards that he had permanently in place on all the possible exits. It was true that the Allarian, Exotica, had a degree of latent magical ability, but she lacked sufficient knowledge to have a realistic chance of nullifying any of his wards. A much bigger danger was that they would be killed by some monster like that foolish knight had been. Astra, the Aquilarian, was a doughty fighter but, even so, naked and unarmed she and her companion would stand little chance against a grue or an ogre. The princesses would be no good to him dead, so he had to find and recapture them before they met a sticky end.
