My Knight Rescuer is a Jerk! So Why should I ignore the Prince?

"Always remember, no matter how much a fae may seem like they experience emotions, no matter how human like a fae may behave...a fae can never be a human." The Keybearer. A young maiden from another world foretold by ancient prophesy, destined to collect the seven keys and save the world. Surely that's the kind of story that finds some plucky high schooler dreaming of adventure and whisks them off to find their true love, right? Overworked salary women like Emily have long passed the point where such fantasies can come true, and even if they did, it's not like she'd know the first thing about what to do. ...So of course, nobody even bothered to ask her before dropping her into an entirely new world full of magic and danger. Like the three hungry orcs eyeing her as soon as she wakes up. "What do you mean I can sense the keys if I use magic?! What magic?!" If Emily could, she'd have immediately issued a rejection letter, but unfortunately, the only way back is to finish her quest somehow. But it's not all danger and confusion. The knight who rushed into battle to save her is charming and kind and gorgeous, and the beautiful and lonely prince has a soft and kind smile only for her. If everyone she meets along the way is like them... Well. It can't be that bad, right? "...--I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED BY A PAINTING?!"

He nodded along with himself, speaking as if the subject matter was far more frivolous than that of his own potential death.

"When fae are 'killed', they disappear entirely. We have no soul to carry us on in another form. The 'life' fae possess is just the manifestation of our energy in a physical form, a mere reflection of our essence."

He gestured grandly with his arms spread wide before placing both hands on his hips confidently.

Why he seemed so...proud and eager to explain something that she'd have thought fae would consider a weakness or vulnerability, she didn't know. But then, she rarely saw him act in any other way than this.

He beamed down at her as he continued his explanation of the fae life cycle.
