"What's that look in your eyes?"

"Brother~"

Joan of Arc leaned close to Ian's ear and rubbed her head against him gently.

"Touch me again... I love this feeling."

Ok.

It seems that the current condition is not caused by the medicine.

Now, she actually longs for the simplest touch.

"Ah... you little naughty boy, I give in to you."

"Hehe~ I knew my brother would agree!"

【You guys finally had a great evening. 】

[Fortunately, this behavior did not have any negative impact on Joan of Arc's condition. ]

[On the contrary, Joan seemed to gain some comfort from this behavior.]

[She is in a slightly better mood, but still needs your care. ]

[One month passed like this. ]

You and her still have a nice evening from time to time.

[And the familiar situation appears before you again. ]

The same worn-out envelope, the same wax seal.

The brother and sister once again received a letter from Domremy Village.

The content of the letter has hardly changed.

However, the wording of the letter became much clearer regarding the hope that Joan of Arc could return to the village.

After hearing the contents of the letter, the girl looked a little worried.

"Is it the same situation as last time?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, confirming what his sister said.

"This time it was also a letter written by old man Hancock."

"That--"

Joan of Arc still has a place for Donremy Village in her heart.

Now that her condition had improved a little, she naturally began to worry about the problems in the village.

"Brother, this is already the second letter, should we..."

"Still can't go back." Ian answered directly.

"Your illness has only improved a little... If you go back now, what if it gets worse on the way?"

"but--"

Joan of Arc looked somewhat embarrassed.

"This is the second time they have written to us for help... If we continue to ignore it like this, will there be serious consequences?"

[It’s not that you don’t miss Domremy Village—after all, it’s where you once lived.]

You realize that there is some truth in what Joan said.

[After a little thought, you come up with a method that may be suitable for the current situation. ]

"Jeanne, how about this?"

Ian sat down at the table in the room and took out a slightly yellowed parchment from the drawer beside him.

"Let's write a letter back and explain our current situation."

"This way, we can explain the reason to them clearly... I believe they will understand us."

"Well..." Jeanne nodded, "This is the only way now."

[According to Jeanne's dictation, you wrote down in a tactful way the reason why you could not return to Domremy Village.]

【You think this might be a letter that can explain the problem clearly. 】

[After it arrives at Domremi Village, the situation may be able to ease a little.]

【But things didn’t go as smoothly as you imagined. 】

A month later.

Looking at the familiar wax seal on the envelope, Ian knew that this was another letter from Domremi Village.

This is the third letter in three months.

Ian hesitated for a long time, but finally took it apart.

Sure enough, just like the previous two times, this letter still hoped that Joan of Arc could return to the village of Domremy.

The letter avoided the main point and made some irrelevant responses to the brother and sister's previous explanations.

In addition, the wording this time has a bit more of a feeling that "If you don't come back, Dongremi Village is likely to be in great danger."

"..."

【You feel like something is wrong.】

[After all, if I had seen the content of the last reply, I would never have said such a thing at this moment. ]

【You decide to pretend nothing happened. 】

【But Joan of Arc noticed all this. 】

After three months of rest, although Joan of Arc's body was not completely healed, she had recovered quite well.

"elder brother?"

"Any more letters from the village?"

Hearing this voice, Ian regretted that his movements were not clean and neat enough.

But now that he has been discovered, he doesn't plan to hide it.

"Yes."

Such an answer made Joan of Arc's beautiful blue eyes look more expectant.

"That--"

“Do they understand our situation?”

"No." Ian shook his head.

"They still very much hope that you can return to the village."

"And it seems that if you don't go back, the situation in the village will become very bad."

"This……"

Jeanne frowned slightly.

"How did it become like this?"

"I don't know." Ian looked at his sister, "But I always feel something is wrong."

"Something's not right?"

"Well...after all, if you saw our last reply, you'd be less likely to say that this time, right?"

There was a hint of caution in Ian's eyes.

"It always has a 'if you just come back' feeling."

"..."

Joan of Arc was silent for a moment before carefully asking again.

"Brother, what do you mean..."

"No," Ian replied, "and we won't reply to your letter."

"..."

Joan of Arc fell into silence again.

After a long while, she spoke again:

"Brother...I think I need to go back."

"What?" Ian was a little anxious. "No matter how you think about it, we shouldn't go back, right?"

"But--"

Jeanne's eyes were filled with worry.

"This is their third time... I can't ignore this request."

"But what if something goes wrong?" Ian asked.

"What if you really need me?"

"..."

"..."

"Since you are worried, let me go back alone. Even if something goes wrong, you can still command the rest of the people."

"..."

"Oh." Ian sighed.

"I see."

"Since you feel the need to go back—"

"Then let's go back together."

[Joan of Arc's kindness made it impossible for her to ignore the help from Domremy Village. ]

[You know this very well, and you also know that there is absolutely no way you can change her mind. ]

【So--】

【Just continue to protect her and her kindness. 】

[You plan to go back to Domremi Village.]

【Little did they know that this would be an extremely dangerous journey. 】

208. Joan of Arc's Earnest Prayer/Another Magician/Dragon's Enlightenment (4k)

[You have actually thought about whether you could send soldiers back to Domremy Village as a replacement, rather than letting Jeanne d'Arc travel through mountains and rivers.]

[But you quickly realize that this is not the right solution.]

[On the one hand, it’s because you’re worried that the soldiers you send back won’t really do their best to help the people in the village.]

[On the other hand, the village of Domremy knows you and Jeanne very well.]

[If you don't handle it properly, your true relationship might be exposed on the spot. ]

[By contrast, if you really want to go back to Dongremi Village, only you two siblings can do it.]

[Of course, you also know that if you leave quietly like this, the French army will definitely fall into chaos. ]

[So you first claimed that Joan of Arc had received divine revelation and had to return to the village of Domremy where she once lived.]

[Until she returns, the troops must not act rashly.]

[This measure is indeed effective.]

【Your statement was soon supported by Charles VII.】

[He witnessed your private wedding, and in a sense, he is already a good friend of you and Jeanne. ]

[Not to mention that he already firmly believed that Jeanne was a messenger sent by the Lord, so he would certainly not stand against you at this moment.]
