The Princess's Gambit Episode 16

The players advance

Third Prince is quietly making big plans. He is the prince they should be most concerned about. He didn’t even bother to see why 4th prince’s robes needed changed. He just assumed guilt, plotted his death, and then gave him a memorial toast saying didn’t want to kill him but fate determined differently. He is cold, lethal and expedient in action. He takes no prisoners and willing to leave a trail of bodies. It was refreshing to see the b from fabric store nervous. I get tired of her snide dealings with the princess. That half dose, well I agree with the bodyguard in how I feel about that. It is a shame our couple did not compare notes, they could have been well ahead of the game. Their intel combined would have made great headway tho still not have answered the question of how 4th prince got involved. That is where sis could have enlightened. Many despise her character, but I find that I like her in spite of herself. She is impetuous due to her youth , but she has a good heart and is loyal. She is also very forward.🤣 4th Prince has no clue how to deal with a woman so blatantly interested in him and not worried in the least about repercussions. She sees what she wants and pursues it. Their adventure in the library. It is funny that she interpreted the book she was looking at as some oddly military but not.😂The prince’s reaction said it all.😂Hiding in the water plant vat was a good move. But now seeds are planted for Prince. Her reaction is priceless and totally disarms him. They are very cute together she just needs lots more martial arts training to protect him and learn better discipline. I also like the bodyguard and aide. These two with healing ointment and fish soup. It was a sweet scene. The princess has a very harsh task. She knows what it is but not who it’s for. The chancellor has revealed his guarding of the 4th Prince. This is not something the 3rd Prince should know, but here it is. In this, third Prince has a distinct advantage. What I do not understand is why was a marriage set for 4th Prince when 3rd Prince would have had Princess blocked in from both sides? But maybe 3rd Prince planning other brides via empress. The Princess is in a very bad spot but since she won’t talk to chancellor she is going to have to figure out how to get around it and survive. The chancellor is keeping closer watch on 4th Prince so their paths will cross at the library. The third Prince has at least been caught unawares since he is putting all his eggs in the Princess’ basket. I want them to save the Prince without exposing her, but that isn’t likely. On to next episode to see how Princess handles this. She is most intrigued that the third Prince has the empress’ talisman. The chancellor could use that bit of intel.
