I bring Aleshia to my room.

"..."
#
<name "Darx">
"Ah, I know I explained already, but this 
 doesn't mean I'm tired of you."
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0404">
"...Did you lay a hand on her?"
#
<name "Darx">
"Yeah."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
She punches me in the stomach with all her
strength.
#
Damn, she's strong.
#
And extremely mad.
#
And she doesn't stop.
#
She's seriously trying to kill me.
#
But she's never gotten mad before when I 
brought other women back.
#
Should I have not told her she's a 
princess...
#
<name "Darx">
"Aah! Shia!
 Wait! Stop!
 Let's talk it out!"
#
<sprite "ta01a006.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Shia" "!BA0405">
"Y-You attacked my sister!"
#
<removesprite -1 11>
<sprite "ta01a006.agf" 2 5 11>
<sprite "ta16a004.agf" 6 4 11>
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0110">
"Sister!"
#
<removesprite -1 11>
Aleshia clings to Shia despite her rage.
#
<name "Darx">
"...Huh?"
#
I spend the next thirty minutes in a daze,
barely able to understand what's going on.
#

<name "Darx">
"Ummmmm... So..."
#
<name "Darx">
"She's your sister?"
#
<sprite "ta16a005.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0111">
"That's right!"
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0112">
"Aah, I knew you were alive."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
Aleshia nuzzles up to Shia.
#
They really do look like sisters.
#
<name "Darx">
"Meaning...
 You're royalty too, Shia?"
#
<sprite "ta16a002.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0113">
"She's the crown princess, Eleshia."
#
<name "Darx">
"..."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
My head's spinning.
#
I wouldn't have believed the woman I've been
living with was a princess even if you told me
that to my face.
#
But considering how they're acting, it seems
like it's true.
#
<sprite "ta16a007.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0114">
"Aah. I can't believe you were living with
 a man like him...
 It must have been so hard."
#
<name "Darx">
"Watch the tears or I'll get mad."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
<sprite "ta01a010.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Shia" "!BA0406">
"I'm sorry for not telling you."
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0407">
"My name is Eleshia Trilees."
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0408">
"I'm her older sister."
#
<name "Darx">
"Really?"
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0409">
"...Sorry."
#
<name "Darx">
"What were you doing in the dungeons?"
#
<removesprite -1 11>
For all appearances, she was just an 
adventurer.
#
You'd think a princess would have some guards.
#
Especially the crown princesss.
#
<sprite "ta01a010.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Shia" "!BA0410">
"I'm the child of a mistress."
#
<name "Darx">
"...So it's part of some power struggle, huh?"
#
<removesprite -1 11>
The mistress has the first daughter, and the
legitimate wife has the second.
#
That's asking for trouble.
#
<sprite "ta01a010.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Shia" "!BA0411">
"The only thing I could do to surpass Aleshia,
 the queen's own daughter, was to win honor by
 defeating the Overlord."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
<sprite "ta01a010.agf" 2 5 11>
<sprite "ta16a005.agf" 6 4 11>
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0115">
"That's a lie."
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0412">
"It's..."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0116">
"Then why did you conceal your position and
 enter the dungeon as an adventurer?"
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0117">
"You never intended to defeat the Overlord.
 Didn't you go there to die for my sake?"
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0413">
"...I'm sorry."
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0414">
"But I didn't want to fight you."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0118">
"But you didn't need to die!"
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0415">
"...I never intended to die. That's the truth.
 I just wanted to test my fate."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0119">
"You're saying that you tried to die."
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0416">
"...I guess.
 I'm truly sorry I worried you."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0120">
"N-No, it's enough that you're alive."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0121">
"Now let's go home. Together."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
Aleshia takes Shia's hand and looks like she's
about to bolt.
#
I interrupt them after listening to the whole
affair.
#
<name "Darx">
"Don't try to leave without my permission."
#
<sprite "ta16a005.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0122">
"If you let her go home, there will be no more
 need for extermination campaigns."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0123">
"That satisfies your demand."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0124">
"I do not wish to, but I will pay you a 
 suitable reward for protecting her."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0125">
"Bring both of us to the surface."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
I'm a little overwhelmed by her sudden drive.
#
<name "Darx">
"..."
#
<sprite "ta01a011.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Shia" "!BA0417">
"Aleshia, I'm not going back."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
<sprite "ta01a011.agf" 2 5 11>
<sprite "ta16a004.agf" 6 4 11>
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0126">
"Eleshia!"
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0418">
"If I do, the struggle will break out again."
#
<sprite "ta16a007.agf" 6 4 12>
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0127">
"As long as we work together, everything will
 be okay."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0128">
"The issue of succession is simple too. 
 You're the eldest daughter. Anybody who says
 it should be me is wrong."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0129">
"If it comes to it, I'll abandon my right of
 succession. Now come with me."
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0419">
"...Aleshia."
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0420">
"Eleshia Trilees died in this dungeon."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0130">
"E-Eleshia?"
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0421">
"I'm not going back."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
Shia walks over and stands beside me.
#
<sprite "ta01a000.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Shia" "!BA0422">
"There's no need for me to return."
#
<name "Darx">
"...Who even said you could?"
#
<removesprite -1 11>
<sprite "ta01a000.agf" 2 5 11>
<sprite "ta16a005.agf" 6 4 11>
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0131">
"Are you sure?"
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0423">
"Yes."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0132">
"H-He is the worst kind of man.
 Do you know what he did to me?"
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0424">
"Ah, w-well... I can imagine.
 He'll pay for it dearly later."
#
<name "Darx">
"You already hit me..."
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0425">
"That was just a preview."
#
<name "Darx">
"Ugh..."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0133">
"Eleshia..."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
It took a little while longer, but Shia 
eventually convinces her.
#
<sprite "ta16a007.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0134">
"I just need to stop the large-scale 
 extermination attempts, correct?"
#
<name "Darx">
"Right. Weren't those things causing a lot of
 problems for you anyway?"
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0135">
"...Hmph!"
#
<removesprite -1 11>
And she has a demand for me too.
#
<sprite "ta16a005.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0136">
"If anything happens to her, you'll pay."
#
<name "Darx">
"Got it."
#
<name "Darx">
"...Get some rest in the other room.
 I'll get things set up to get you home."
#
<name "Aleshia" "!RA0137">
"Hmph!"
#
<removesprite -1 11>
...
#
<name "Darx">
"Shia... Um, Eleshia?"
#
<sprite "ta01a010.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Shia" "!BA0426">
"Shia's fine."
#
<name "Darx">
"When you think about it, there were a lot of
 hints."
#
<removesprite -1 11>
It was weird that she couldn't do any housework
at all.
#
And that she refused to fight other humans no
matter what.
#
<name "Darx">
"...So the reason you refused to join the demon
 side is because you're royalty."
#
<sprite "ta01a010.agf" 4 4 11>
<name "Shia" "!BA0427">
"Yeah."
#
<name "Darx">
"I'm sorry I tried to recruit you."
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0428">
"It's fine."
#
<name "Darx">
"And... honestly, I'm a little depressed."
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0429">
"Huh?"
#
<name "Darx">
"You're a princess..."
#
<name "Darx">
"If I had known, there's so many more things I
 could've done to torment you!"
#
<name "Darx">
"Especially taunting! There's so much more I
 could've done!"
#
<name "Darx">
"It's such a waste!"
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0430">
"...Imbecile."
#
<name "Darx">
"We'll just have to save those games for 
 later, and I am not letting it go to waste."
#
<name "Shia" "!BA0431">
"I want to be with you as just a regular woman,
 not as a princess."
#
<name "Darx">
"..."
#
<name "Darx">
"Well, you didn't try to leave, so I guess I
 can be just as nice in return."
#
<sprite "ta01a013.agf" 4 4 12>
<name "Shia" "!BA0432">
"Yeah."
