Firstly, you all are seeming to forget that she was CAUGHT AND MADE A SLAVE.
Obviously against her will, and elven rights. (cannot use HUMAN rights)
OBVIOUSLY, she will be raped and abused, which is in evidence by the auctioneer saying "banging a virgin elf is good luck"!
The HUMANS have treated her like an object and a plaything and thought nothing of it.
Where is the TRUE crime here?
So, WITHIN the city Ork tried to play by the rules. But fat bastards do what fat bastards do.
Ork simply retaliated in what was obviously a war. Rules go out the window in war.
Also, Ork is a DEMI-HUMAN who hasn't lived in human society.
He could give a fuck about human law except for what it can do for him.
So, fat bastard started the war, and extended the war to interfering with Ork's plan.
So. YOINK!!!
Ork can claim the elf escaped on her own somehow, or her people rescued her or.....
There was no witness to the cri--, er, I mean RESCUE.
