The Princess and Her Knight - Episode 4

A princess is confronted by the guard she has grown close to, who asks if their connection was a ruse to escape her arranged marriage. He demands to know if her feelings were ever real. The princess coldly confesses that her seduction is a trap meant to be discovered, and cruelly dismisses him as a lowly orphan undeserving of her. However, a flashback reveals she once rescued and promised to protect him. Now, after dismissing him with money, she watches him leave, believing it will free him. Her plan backfires when guards, likely acting on the orders of 'James' and his family, seize her to be locked away until she consents to the marriage.
