My guess is that the knight guarding her is the prince's brother or something, I haven't read this in so long I don't remember much so they might have confirmed it in previous chapters or something but I think that's going to be the big reveal... (or something )
Why are you lending her a shovel wait you have one??!??
I think rather than Jade like (in romantic way) Teresse he seems like the atmospher (im not sure yhis is the right word) like how you surrounded by the people you close to and want to stay that way for along time
