Should you Recruit or Execute Melisandre?

Recruiting Melisandre is the Recommended Choice

Difference Between Recruiting and Executing
Recruit Her	Execute Her
Rewards: ・Melisandre is recruited. ・Colm also joins the ranks.	Rewards: ・Receive 30 Honors.
Story Impact: Melisandre reveals her liking to Alain and accepts the offer to join the Liberation.	Story Impact: Melisandre is executed.

It is recommended that Melisandre be recruited as the reward for not doing so is a measly 30 Honors, which can easily be farmed from Auxiliary Stages. Melisandre is a Swordfighter and can be useful against highly evasive foes.

Colm, Melisandre's assistant, also joins after recruiting Melisandre. If Melisandre is executed, however, Colm is spared but will not be recruited.

Honor Farming Guide

Deploy Alain to Recruit Melisandre

For Melisandre to accept the recruitment offer, deploy Alain at least once in The Blade of House Meillet.

If you fail to do so, she declines Alain's offer and is subsequently set free, mentioning her desire to travel the world.

Failing to recruit Melisandre rewards you with 30 Honors despite choosing the "Recruit her" option.
