I know that there's a traitor in the palace, and all the clues are pointing

to Lord Osborn. I've seen the way you spy on him. I must admit, I find it

intriguing. I heard her tell Sarah that she does actually like him. I'm

surprised she talked to Sarah about it. What are you doing? You're the traitor!

Whatever's in this package will be the final proof.

It's for you. No, it doesn't matter now. Osborn is gone. On a mission. The

traitor is still passing information from the palace to our enemies, and

waiting for their moment to strike.

Royalty meets rock star as Princess Bonu launches her brutal war.

Bonu reigns onto the world.

Next stop, England.

Everyone's super excited at the arrival of our VIP guest.

The Queen's advisors are dreaming of an alliance with Bonu's powerful kingdom,

while Ellie's dreaming about seeing her favourite princess in real life.

Our guest is none other than the world-famous Princess Bonu.

And Ellie is a super fan.

It's time to greet the princess.

Don't you want to comb your hair first?

Amazing. She always wears this ruby. Only takes it off to bathe, apparently.

It's her look.

Oh, by my God! Do you know the sparkly one? You keep moving my finger. It's so

annoying.

Also, you're meant to clean my room and not to move my things away. You need to

remember that place, Ellie, because it's getting ridiculous.

You moved my love letter from Jack.

No, it fell out of a book while I was tidying. I put it back, I swear.

Leave Ellie alone.

She's only doing her job.

I wasn't snooping. It's just if I finish all my chores, I'm allowed to wait on

the princess at lunch.

Ellie's up a new fan.

I'm sure she'll be thrilled to meet you two.

Stay away from our things.

Ellie.

I'll make sure everyone knows what a good job you've done.

While everyone else is fangirling over our visitor, my mind is on Lord Osborne.

I can't stop thinking about how I feel if someone accused me of being a

traitor. Ellie says I need to say sorry, and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

When he gets back from his secret mission.

If he gets back.

Bravo, Cecil. This alliance with Bono's kingdom is well-timed. The demands of

the princess's people were quite...

Demanding. Nothing is too much trouble for our wonderful new friends,

understood?

She's here. Places, everyone.

So regal. So rich.

She does seem pretty cool.

He's back there. He's back here.

I've seen the princess.

Lord Osborne's looking very cosy with our guest.

Your Majesty.

May I present to you Her Royal Highness Princess Bonham. Why wouldn't I be?

Together with her most esteemed household.

Princess, we are honoured by your presence.

My people will ensure you have the most perfect visit.

Your every wish is our command.

Water.

Iced room temp? Boiled with lemon?

Actually, I've changed my mind.

Your esteemed Highness, I have prepared a tour, a small tour of the...

Sounds exhausting.

I need a bath.

You guys have to.

Right.

Of course. Okay, great.

I'm going to my room. Lord Osborne will accompany you.

Everything should be as you had requested.

Enjoy.

Well, I think that went splendidly. She does realize she's just met the Queen of

England. Oh, shush. We just need to get that alliance signed.

She seemed overwhelmed, poor girl.

Representing her whole country, it's a lot.

Especially for one so young.

A sequin from Banu's coat.

Ellie will be delighted.

Is my bath ready?

No one is to disturb me for an hour.

You're dismissed.

I really hoped we might have a moment to get to know the princess before lunch. I

had prepared a number of topics.

No wonder she suddenly needed a bath.

I thought she seemed quite rude.

Well, that's how a royal should behave.

You wouldn't catch Bonnet mixing with the lower orders.

Jane, be kind.

Grace is dreadfully upset about Osborne. No, I'm not.

I mean... Maybe a little.

I just wanted to talk to him and he completely ignored me.

While he was all eyes for Princess Bonnet. That's because Lord Osborne

knows how to play the game.

You must play too, if you want him to fall in love with you.

I don't want him to fall in love with me. You must be mysterious.

Mysterious? Don't look at him. What, ever? Never laugh at his jokes. He

really doesn't make any. But the main thing is, do not talk to him at all

about anything, ever.

I should really send these tips into Tutor Girl.

I could help so many people.

Ellie says, I just need to apologise.

Ellie's a servant. What does she know? She's super smart.

I'm teaching her how to read, actually. She's picking it up so quickly.

Now, that really is ridiculous.

We're practising at the minute, actually. So I've got far better things

to be thinking about than Lord Osborne.

OK, I've done the maid's room, the privy chamber, the kitchens, and even Lord

Settle's room, which took ages.

I don't think there's anything left for me to tidy.

All of that?

So, you can see, Fancypant's princess at lunch.

She's amazing, representing for her whole country. She's like our queen,

except my age.

Look, Monsieur gave me one of her secrets.

She's a madame.

Peacock feathers.

Servants not to look her in the eye.

She said that? Yes.

If she complains about my food, she will make the sharpen of my willing hands.

Hey, I had some spare time. I thought we could do some reading.

I still have a lot to sort out before the lunch.

Oh, so Osborne's back.

I think he's so mad at me, he won't even look at me, and I think he has a thing

for the new princess. I'm sure Lady Sarah can tell you how to deal with Lord

Osborne.

I'll see you later.

sure the princess will be here soon.

You must be mysterious.

Don't look at him.

Finally. All hail the princess!

Look how the ruby glows in the light. It's even more beautiful than before.

How is your child? Elton, welcome.

Now get yourself seated.

We've made on quite a spread. Shut the main doors, please.

Lord Osborne, I've been waiting to tell you.

Smell of herring.

You wish to inform me that I speak fish?

That wasn't what I meant to say. The real thing is that... The princess!

The princess is hurt!

Help her!

Protect the queen!

What's happening?

Dad! The princess is sleeping!

Princess, are you all right?

I can't find a wound.

I'm all right.

What happened?

It's your ruby.

I think it's melted.

This is sorcery. Your queen is a witch. You take that back, sir. I'm quite used

to rumors, but I am no witch. Look, rubies don't just melt.

Your Highness, please can I have another look?

Stay back. Not a look!

It's some kind of soft wax.

Polished to look like a ruby.

It smells smoky.

I think it's tallow. Makes us a million.

Tallow has a lower melting point.

It's hot in here already.

Princess's skin would have been enough to cause the effect.

Borno's people are very upset.

We must be mindful of the alliance.

My lords and ladies, your princess is totally fine.

This is just a trick.

A trick?

This ruby is a fake. The only damage is to the princess's lovely dress. Your

princess is safe.

All is well.

All is not well.

Where's the real ruby? Someone switched the real ruby with a fake one.

So it has been stolen.

We'd better find that ruby or wave goodbye to our alliance.

I want everyone to search. That ruby must be found.

We'll start with the kitchen staff.

Get the princess to safety.

Whoever switched to Ruby wanted to ruin the alliance with Princess Bonu.

A jewel that melts to look like blood is the kind of story that makes its way

halfway across the world before anyone asks to think if it's true.

It's clever.

I wonder what they have done with the real Ruby.

Princess Bonu is insisting we search our palace staff.

Her advisors are insisting.

Right, everyone, empty your aprons and pockets.

Not you, Ralph.

Ellie?

Go on, then, go.

She's a thief and possibly a witch. Arrest her now. Oravo.

Good news.

Sort of.

The ruby has been found.

Ellie, I'm so sorry. Grace, please. Silence.

The ruby was in her pocket.

The guards found a sort of shrine to the princess in the pantry.

This girl is clearly obsessed. She wouldn't.

Carby. Take her to the dungeons. We will deal with this matter.

Leave this with me.

The princess isn't safe here.

I want armed guards at her door. No one is to come in. We're not really going to

take her to the dungeons, are we, sir?

She's been accused of theft, boy.

Guard her here.

Ellie loves Princess Bonny. The girl was clearly starstruck. Perhaps she took the

ruby to put in her collection. She would never!

Grace!

I'll do my best to hold them off, but if you can prove Ellie innocent, please do

so quickly.

You'll figure it out, Grace.

You always do.

I'll try.

It's a tiny problem.

Ellie lied to me today. I still have a lot to sort out before the lunch.

That's not like her.

I know.

But that's for later.

Let's start with the scene of the crime.

The real crime.

What are you two up to?

Just wanted to check on the princess.

Do you think I'm stupid?

No.

I think she knows more than she's letting on.

She was acting very strangely.

Like I was acting strangely.

Shortly before you accused me of being a traitor.

Please.

Ellie's in so much trouble.

How dare you enter the princess's room? An innocent person's whole life is at

stake.

And I think the princess can help. How could she help?

Jamil, enough!

I just want to check the facts.

Is that okay?

Okay, let's see.

Look. What do we have here?

Mm-hmm.

And if I follow the trail... Hmm.

Gotcha.

I think I figured it out, Princess.

You told us you took the ruby off and had a bath, but your towels are still

folded. And there are sequins on the outside of the window.

As though someone wearing sequins had left the room that way.

Princess?

A good person is in trouble.

And you're the only one who can help.

Please.

It's time for the truth.

I was only gone for an hour.

Where did you go?

Poor child.

She's Grace's trusted friend. This all feels wrong.

We must think of the Alliance.

Helena Bunting, you are charged with the theft of a precious and symbolic ruby

belonging to the family of Princess Bonnet. I am innocent.

It's true, she is.

And we can prove it. Your Majesty.

Let her speak.

Okay, so we know the ruby was switched.

And the only time that could have happened was when the princess took it

off.

She left to begin her bath when the clock was striking the hour.

Except you didn't take your bath.

Did you, Princess?

It was the only way I could escape.

Escape what?

You.

This. All of it.

I just wanted to be me for a moment.

So I took off to the one place only no one would come look for me.

The kitchen.

And that's where I met the accused.

What?

I thought I was dreaming.

What are you doing here?

I was wondering if I could get something to eat.

Of course.

I'll get the cook to prepare your meal, whatever you need. What I need is to do

something for myself.

Just once.

Is that okay?

Right. Help yourself, then.

Sorry, I didn't mean to. What?

We were told you don't like servants looking you in the eye.

Seriously?

It's a meal.

All these demands are supposed to make me sound important.

You are important.

The idea of me is important.

I think deep down people are just worried I'm not that impressive.

And the demands are off the show.

My mom basically gave me the ruby and said it's time to represent.

But it's kind of heavy.

The ruby? And the responsibility.

You're not just a symbol, you're a person.

And you matter.

You should tell them how you feel.

Ellie? Ellie would normally jump at the chance for a reading lesson.

So when I saw her in the kitchen, I could tell she was hiding something.

Or someone.

The princess was so worried about... creating gossip or letting her parents

down.

I promised I'd keep her secret.

The important thing is, Bonu was with Ellie in the pantry when the thief

switched the ruby.

Ellie can't be the thief.

I am her alibi.

Right.

So, who stole the ruby? And why would they try to frame Ellie?

I'm still working that out.

But I will. Have no fear.

There's someone in this court who wants our queen to fail.

But their meddling has not worked today.

And that's because we look after each other here.

We care about everyone.

And Princess, if you're looking for an ally, that feels like a pretty good

place to start.

The Alliance will go ahead.

I shall sign the papers right away.

And from now on, I'll do things my way.

It's usually for the best.

Congratulations on the alliance, Your Majesty.

I'm sorry you got into all this mess because of my ruby. I'm just glad you

finally got the chance to say how you feel. We give good advice.

It's true.

Although, Grace never actually listens to any of it.

I do.

Actually, I think it's time I took some early wisdom on board.

I need to tell you something.

That I smelt of herring?

Yeah.

You gave me that note.

Please!

I'm sorry.

I've been wanting to say it all day, but things kept getting in the way, like

herring and melting rubies and... very pretty princesses.

All right.

Apology accepted.

Why do you smell of herring, though?

I'm sorry, I just need to know these things.

Go on.

Escorting the princess was a cover for my real mission.

Walsingham was an informant on the docks.

A fisherman.

And he told you something.

He intercepted a message.

He mentioned the Queen's birthday.

They're planning an attack.

Maybe.

And that's not all.

The traitor used as a code name.

Spiderweb. Spiderweb?

We've got to figure out who it is before the Queen's birthday. We need to work

together.

But no more accusations.

No more mind games.

We need a plan.
