This is partly Erenville request for help as well since he does not want his home nation end up becoming another Garlean Empire. The Golden City part was just a last addition for him since he never had any real clues where to start until now.
Didn't Erenville downplay his relationship with her in the dinner scene? Plus Ilberd used to be friends with Raubahn and we saw how that worked out for him.

And the invasion thing makes it worse. It means we're going as kingmaker to a country we've never been to in order to install someone who will serve our political interests. We're doing a colonialism, and just because the person we're installing insures us they are into that sort of thing doesn't make it right. There are four contestants, only one wants to conquer us. Is no one even gonna ask why she has to travel to a continent where no one knows who she is to get help in this contest?

This is dumb. We are doing a dumb. And hopefully, we are doing a dumb so the story can teach us why it's dumb to do what we're doing.
