The next morning, Marie-Jeanne was preparing her weapons for the hunt at the tavern along with the other men involved in the hunting party. When questioned about what had happened, Henri explained that Emile was attacked and that his last words were "La Bête." Marie-Jeanne, though still skeptical that the Beast was a supernatural being like everyone else believed, agreed to lead the hunting party and instructed them all to meet there at dawn. Rene, realizing that it was his son Emile, rushed over to cradle his body while he sobbed. However, her demeanor changed completely when Henri Argent came into the tavern with the body of a young boy in his arms. Once their tearful reunion was over, Tolbert approached Marie-Jeanne and asked if she was willing to lead their hunting party, to which she laughed and replied that she hunted animals, not rumors. She wasted no time rushing over to him to give him a hug. At the sound of the man's voice, Marie-Jeanne turned and was shocked to find her brother, Sebastien, and his comrade, Marcel, standing in the doorway. Just then, a male voice called out from behind them that they all knew who the best Hunter in Gévaudan was-his sister, Marie-Jeanne. Tolbert informed them that until the King sent a band of his best men to help hunt the Beast, it was up to them to arrange their own search party. She set down the letter and began peeling an apple while the men at the next table, including the Magistrate, Monsieur Tolbert, began discussing La Bête, and the fact that there were so many conflicting reports about what it looked like. When Marie-Jeanne became engrossed in reading the letter she was sent from her brother, Sebastien Valet, who was fighting in the Seven Years' War in North America, Rene insisted that she not give up hope.
He looked over and saw Marie-Jeanne holding her crossbow at the bar and thanked her for the assistance before returning to fill her drink and give her her meal. Before he could grab his hammer to affix the poster to the wall, a crossbow bolt flew across the room and pinned the poster where he had pressed it, surprising Rene. Later, she was seen dining at a tavern, where the owner, Rene, was about to nail a poster on the wall that announced news of " La Bête de Gévaudan". In the flashbacks to the 1760s in Maid of Gévaudan, Marie-Jeanne was shown hunting an animal with a bow and arrow throughout the snow-covered woods of France. When Chris asked Gerard if he had heard of any reliable methods to kill the recently- resurrected Beast of Gévaudan, Gerard stated that the only method he had ever been told was a "simple spear in the hands of a young woman," which led Chris to realize that he was talking about the Maid of Gévaudan. Marie-Jeanne was first mentioned, albeit vaguely, by Chris Argent during a conversation with his father Gerard in The Sword and the Spirit.
