The leader of the guards, Zade, was once a handsome young man, but now he was unshaven. He and Lorraine were childhood friends from the same village. When they set out, he thought Lorraine was very skilled, so he asked Lorraine to help escort Serena. Little did they know that the journey would not be as peaceful as they had imagined. On the day they were surrounded by the night fire, they could only break through separately. They had both resigned themselves to the fact that they were no longer meant to be together. They never expected to meet again tonight, having escaped death. They were both extremely excited.
Looking at the harmonious scene before him, Yun Zhe caught an interesting thought.
Zad didn't tell Arthas the truth: they weren't resting in the woods, but rather preparing to ambush a group of Aruruans for food and drink. It was just that he couldn't bring himself to tell them. While ambushing Aruruans wasn't inherently wrong, it would certainly incur the wrath of Arthas, who championed chivalry.

"Wait!" Serena called out as she lay in Ellie's arms, watching Yun Zhe's departing figure. She didn't know his name yet, and although Ellie would tell her, she still wanted to ask him herself.
"My name is Yun Zhe," Yun Zhe waved and strode away. He went to the middle of the road to collect the crossbow bolts scattered on the ground.
Serena had a strange feeling; it was as if he knew what I was thinking. For some reason, Serena didn't resent this feeling of being known by him.
Ellie frowned.
