As Jean and his friend Bertrand discuss her tale, they learn of the maid's noble resolve to seek out the King and fulfill her divine mission. The narrative portrays her profound beauty, piety, and earnestness as she prepares to face the challenges ahead, all while depicting how the powerful aura of her convictions leaves a lasting impact on those who gel with her cause.
