Resolute Royalty
While overseeing the restoration of Alster Island, Heles calls for (Captain)'s crew. When they arrive, she asks if she can join their ranks, stating that her continued presence on the island would hinder the progress of the new government.
During their travels (Captain) and company once stopped at Alster Island. There they discovered a society suffering from frequent monster attacks.
The crew wasted no time in quelling the threat and brought peace back to the island.
Now they've returned to that very place, summoned by the princess whose kingdom was destroyed by the monsters.
Heles: Let me start by expressing my gratitude to all of you for coming here.
Lyria: Not at all! We're happy to see you again, Heles. How's the rebuilding going?
Heles: It's going well. The island is nearly as prosperous as it was back when the Irestill Kingdom still held firm.
Vyrn: That's great news! But why did you call us here? Are there more monsters to deal with?
Heles: No... I have an entirely different request for you this time.
Heles: I wish to accompany you on your journey.
Lyria: What? But why? Heles, your people need you here as their princess!
Lyria: If you go, won't it leave the citizens of Alster with no one to turn to?
Heles: It would. And that is the very reason I wish to leave this island.
Vyrn: Wha? What do you mean?
Heles: Alster Island has long been ruled by the Irestill royal family.
Heles: But it was the negligence of my father, King Connor, that resulted in the destruction of Irestill Kingdom.
Heles: As part of the reconstruction effort, we decided to rebuild the government as well, and installed a council composed of local leaders from across the land.
Lyria: Oh, that's why the castle is called the Great Court, right?
Heles: Precisely. The castle's location at the center of the island is the ideal location for the seat of government.
Heles: But returning to the topic at hand. If the throne's successor doesn't possess the faculty to rule the kingdom, then it's the people who will suffer.
Heles: Father exemplified this, so my brother and I renounced our claim to the throne and relinquished all control to the Great Court.
Heles: But the Great Court has only just been created, and its members lack experience. Everyone is overly reliant on me...
Vyrn: Well, duh! Of course they rely on you! Your country is huge—and you guys just changed your whole government!
Heles: I realize we're in the beginning stages. Even the most talented budding politicians would need an example under these circumstances.
Heles: But I can't let the country stagnate and remain in its current form.
Heles: The Great Court has plenty of ability. All they need is more experience with decision-making. And that makes me a hindrance.
Vyrn: Um, that's kind of drastic, but if it's for the sake of the people...
Heles: Yes. It's time for me to step away. There is nothing more to say on the matter.
Heles: I feel that I can trust you. And I owe you a debt of honor for what you did before. So will you take me with you on your journey?
Choose: Sure! We'd love to have you!
Heles: Thank you, (Captain). Oh, sorry... Captain.
Heles: I'm confident in my abilities. Surely my spear will aid you in your journey to the end of the sky.
Heles: Haha...
Heles: To be honest, I haven't actually ever left this island, unless you count political conferences and the like.
Lyria: Really?
Heles: Yes... It's very unlike me to act this way, but I'm actually extremely excited to be leaving!
Choose: Shouldn't you be somewhere safer?
Vyrn: That's right... We do fight primal beasts and stuff, you know?
Heles: Are you implying that I lack skill compared to you? Very well... Let us find out in open combat.
Lyria: No, that's okay! We know how skilled you are. I guess it's just... Why do you want to be in our crew so badly?
Heles: Your freedom has left a deep impression on me. Especially since I've never left the island of my own will.
Heles: I'd like to experience that freedom, if only for a short time. That's why I want to join your crew!
Heles: Please accept my allegiance, (Captain). I truly appreciate your generosity.

Heles: I have a lot to learn, so please teach me all you can.
Thus Heles, the princess of a ruined kingdom, joins the crew.
She quickly becomes a trusted ally of (Captain) and the others, as they continue their journey across the sky.
