Someone saves your life and you must repay them, especially ifyou live by a [[CodeOfHonour strict honor code]]. Often it is the case that the person who saved you doesn't want someone tagging along or that the person you saved didn't [[UnwantedRescue want to be saved]] and therefore indebted to you.

She claims that the crown prince saved her life and therefore she needs to repay her debt to them. Suffice to say, the truth is a lot more complicated, especially given that he ''didn't'' save her life.
