Hero's Return - Chapter 1: Silent Homecoming - Episode 3
(Captain) and company arrive at the castle town to find Heles giving a speech. Much to Naoise's shock, she plans to revive Deirdre. She asks the crew to follow her for they have much to discuss.
(Captain) and company bid farewell to the merchant upon arriving at the castle town. After accepting the merchant's profuse gratitude, they search for an inn.
Naoise: This takes me back... It's surprising how little this place I was born and raised in has changed.
Lyria: Naoise...
Vyrn: Hm? Hey, there's a crowd over there. Wonder what's going on.
Vyrn: I'm gonna go and check it out, (Captain)!
Lyria: Oh! Vyrn, wait for us!
A woman stands in the middle of the crowd.
???: Citizens! First of all, my brother, Seruel, and I wish to thank you all for your efforts in the restoration of our kingdom.
Naoise: That's Heles!
Seruel is a crew member
Vyrn: So that's Seruel's sister! Well, she's certainly got that air about her.
Old Woman: Well, I'll be! To think Heles would have words of praise for us. Thank you so much.
Heles: However, monsters still run rampant, and we are unable to trade as we wish. Please allow me to apologize.
Townsman: That's not your fault nor is it Seruel's! Those monsters just increased all of a sudden!
Naoise: ...
Heles: Yes, as someone just said, the number of monsters suddenly increased. And there is a reason for that.
A murmur of surprise ripples through the crowd. She waits for the noise to die down before continuing.
Heles: The cause of the rise in numbers is none other than the fall of True Dragon Deirdre.
Heles: It was Deirdre's immense power that held the monster hordes at bay.
Townsman: What are you saying? Could that really be true?
Old Woman: Oh my! That's news to me. But if Heles says so, it must be true.
Heles: Seruel and I, as the former royal line of this kingdom, will hold a ceremony to revive the great Deirdre!
Naoise: ...!
Heles: This will restore Alster Island to its former state of peace and order.
Heles: The age of sufferance is drawing to a close. We, the royals of Irestill, answer to the steadfast hearts of our citizens!
Townsman: Long live Heles! Long live Seruel!
Heles's proclamation whips the crowd into a frenzy, their cheers ringing out over and over.
Naoise is unable to move, dumbfounded at what he has just heard.
Lyria: Are you all right, Naoise?
Naoise: Y-yes... I'm just in a bit of shock...
Vyrn: She said they're gonna revive Deirdre.
Naoise: She did. But Deidre was slain by my hand...
Heles: It's conceited to claim that the true dragon could ever be slain by mortal hands.
Naoise: Heles!
Heles: It's been a long time, Naoise. Your face was easy to pick out from where I was standing.
Naoise: Your Highness! Nothing is more important to me than seeing you in good health and good spirits.
Heles: Come now, this isn't the time for such formalities. We must talk. Follow me.
Heles turns on her heels and sets off.
Lyria: Should we go along too, (Captain)?
Naoise: She would have already told you no if she didn't want you to come. I'm sure it's all right.
Naoise: I'm sorry to drag you around like this, but please come with me, (Captain).
