"Everything is pretty much unexpected at this point." I sighed.
"Well, I really didn't expect her to volunteer to help the orcs," Jeanne continued, "she said that the orcs had always been friendly to her ever since they moved here, so she wanted to know their reason for abducting her."
"That's... Very risky to do at that timing, Firiell..." I grimaced. Couldn't they at least discuss that after fighting?
"As things turned out to be, they decided to snatch Firiell right at that moment because they didn't want that prince to die, since they needed him for something." Jeanne explained.
"That would be his promise to get the crest back and help their leader." Luke nodded.
"Yeah, they were able to communicate somehow and Firiell relayed that information to me," she sighed, "but once Firiell told them that she was the one who owned the crest now, they immediately begged her to follow them to where their leader was lying sick."
