Jean de Metz, La Hire,
and the Duke of Alençon
all vowed they would take an arrow
for me, yet where are they now?
Did their valiant words
and oaths extend no further
than the length of their swords?
Perhaps their allegiance
was confined to the battlefield.
I wonder if I was ever truly part
of the brotherhood of knights.
Or has La Pucelle
always been on her own?
