For Gilles de Rais, the only thing he had thought about during the six hundred years following Joan of Arc's death was to resurrect her, to have his Holy Maiden reappear before him.
Now, Gilles de Rais' wish had been fulfilled, his Joan of Arc, his Saint had returned.
In the instant Joan of Arc was resurrected, Gilles de Rais felt that his six centuries of vigil were worthwhile; he felt the reward for his six hundred years of dedication.
As long as Joan of Arc could be resurrected, then all the hard work and effort he had put in over those six hundred years would have been worth it.
However, Gilles de Rais also understood that his act of resurrecting Joan of Arc was a great taboo in the eyes of the Catholic Church, and once they found out, they would inevitably pursue him and Joan to the death without ceasing.
