How to Start the Shield of the Realm Quest

The Shield of the Realm quest is a 6-Heart quest given to you by March. So, you need to advance through the relationship with March to unlock this quest. I could improve my relationship with him by giving him gifts and spending time with him. By completing all the prior Heart quests for March, I could unlock this quest too.
Once the time comes, check your in-game mail to find a letter from March, which will kickstart the quest. Visit the Blacksmith to find March and Olric deep in conversation. When they spot you, they will ask if you are willing to help them clear all the pending orders. Pick any dialog option to continue.
Just as the conversation seemed to be going well, Adeline walked in. She needs your skilled hands to help craft her mother’s shield. The only hitch is, she requires the shield by today. Accept the challenge to help March with the task, which will start the Shield of the Realm quest.
Completing the Shield of the Realm Quest

Luckily, you don’t require any special item or resource to help craft the shield. All you need to do is help March with the work. Along the way, you can pick different dialog options as the conversation between you and March continues to flow. There are no right or wrong answers here, nor are there different branches to the conversation depending on what you pick. So feel free to pick any option that you wish.
Soon enough, the shield will be ready with your help. Adeline will be impressed with the results and will thank you for your troubles. You can then continue to ask Olric and March if they require help with their pending orders, but they will inform you that they have an extension, so they can take their time with all the orders now. This will end the quest and raise the Heart level for March.
