She didn't so much as utter a sound...
Free from her bindings, the Princess turns to face you, her fierce gaze meeting your eyes.
Hero
How is she so composed after losing an arm? It's like she isn't even bothered by it...

Against your better judgment, you place the blade against the Princess' arm, just above the massive, unyielding chain.
You cut into her flesh.
