In my opinion I don't like either of the endings but i guess that's what you get when you have a jealous, dumb, bratty princess that is obsessed with this brave knight. How ever what i think may happen is… she points to the door with the lady in it and at night she kills the lady and runs away with the knight and live happily ever after… THE END. and that's is my opinion on the king and how the story played
