I'm thinking the guard is from that sacked village, but he also seems genuinely grateful to CP for bringing him…
The guard was always shady but it doesn’t look like he means harm to our OTP, he already knew about her identity and didn’t oust her. Even though he has his own agenda on the side, it looks like he is loyal to the prince
The story about the thieves for sure is a lie, but from the hints we’re getting, there’s more than one side to that story.. looks like some are victims, others are forced, others are taking revenge, others are benefitting from the spoils, some just want to live. And the queen might actually be a survivor from that town.. I mean the uncle keeps bringing up how he placed her on that position. But she’s got a mind of her own-and does she actually care for the prince?
