"Chester?" There was no masking the surprise she felt, seeing that he was one of their rescuers. She'd expected maybe Asch -- or Luke. Of course Luke might very well still be in Yulia City... But even if he wasn't, there was no way to know whether he'd heard about her and the Fon Master's capture. And if he had, who was to say he'd even care? Considering she had been one of the ones to abandon him, Natalia couldn't be certain of any of those things...

Now wasn't the time to think such things though. Chester and his companion had come to rescue them (and given the commotion she had heard, it couldn't have been an easy task), so some proper thanks were in order.

"Yes, thank you," the princess replied, giving the both of them a brief smile. "I would say more, but I don't believe now is the proper time to talk. We should hurry, before more soldiers arrive."
