Here's a recent one:

*The entire postgame storyline featuring Looker in VideoGame/PokemonXAndY revolves around this trope with Emma, who was living as an orphan in the streets of Lumoise City.  Looker adopts her and later is stunned to find out that Emma was [[spoiler: Essentia and was working for Dr. Xerosic]], all because Emma was worried that she was a liability to Looker in the expenses department.  In the end, though, Emma admits that she had no problems working with [[spoiler: Xerosic]] and even liked him, so much that the doctor wound up changing his views on humanity.  Feeling grateful for Emma, both of them leave her with several possessions, including [[spoiler:the Expansion Suit that allows Emma to be Essentia]] to ensure she keeps defending Lumoise.

A more recent anime example:

*Anime/GundamBuildFighters featured Aila, although the individual who "rescused" her was far from noble and merely used her as a pawn.  It's actually the efforts of Reiji to save her from the heartless Nine Barthes, and she eventually becomes [[spoiler:the princess of Reiji's kingdom]].

Of course, neither seem to fit the trope itself, but this is up to debate.
