"Did you know? These ruins had a glorious past. A prosperous city, busy streets..."

"We were a great noble family at the time," Gertie says proudly.

"It is therefore my duty and honor to watch over these ruins. I will never abandon them no matter what happens!"

"Stranger..." Gertie looks you up and down."Who are you? A thief?"

(You quickly explain your purpose here and tell Gertie what Tylen said.)

"Oh, so that's it." Gertie thinks for a while."Heir?"

"All I see each day are thieves trying to pillage these ruins. I don't know anything about an heir."

"You might want to talk to Romeo at the Windmill Market to the northeast. He's an experienced merchant and might know something about this 'Heir.'"

"Oh, before you go, could you please drive away the Yellowsand Beasts and Desert Thieves around the ruins?"

"Those accursed pirates! How dare they desecrate this sacred ground!"

"If I weren't all alone, I would drive every last one of them out of here! I will not allow this place to become a foul den of thieves!"

"Hey! You! Come here!"

Gertie looks you up and down. "Help me drive off the Desert Desert Bandits around these ruins and the Desert Thieves around Windmill Market!"

"Huh? Why I don't just leave?"

Gertie gives you a look of contempt."Don't underestimate these ruins. They had a glorious past once! We were a great noble family at the time!"

"This is why no matter what happens, it is my duty to protect them. I will never leave or abandon this place!"

"Oh? You proved useful after all! It's a pity you're not of noble blood." Gertie snorts.

"Since you are so capable... Go and drive more of those dirty thieves away!"

"These shameless thieves... How dare they pillage these ruins!" Gertie says angrily.

"Oh! You! Can you recover the Sandhill Gems and Ancient Necklaces for me from the Desert Thieves around here?"

"Crime has been rampant here. Perhaps I should have prayed to the Duke of Sands more?"

Gertie thinks for a while. "Well, how about this: once you recover the gems and necklaces, gather Turtle Shells from the Drysand Tortoises. Take them to Chiki the Sage and ask her to perform a blessing ritual."

"May the Duke of Sands restore peace to the ruins."

"The ruins contain my family's most important treasure."

"I must do all I can to find the treasure and protect it!"

(You can't help but admire Gertie's dedication. You can also understand why Faustino wanted to help her so much.)

"This is the treasure! Thank you so much!"

"You may not have noble blood, but you live up to the highest standards of the nobility," Gertie says with all sincerity.

"Oh! You're going to help take things to Jada!"

"Well, please deliver these holy relics for me then! I have to stay here and fight the thieves!"

"Swear that you will protect these relics with your life! They are the most precious treasures in these ruins!" Gertie says with a serious look.
