It was a children's promise, but both princesses meant it sincerely. If one was put in a tower, the other would come rescue them.

Years later, one sent a letter:
"I am in the tower. But know, I must marry whoever rescues me."

The other princess ran to the stables at once.

"You know your father is going to say I kidnapped you, not rescued."
"He didn't put me in the tower. I put myself in there."
@MicroSFF One of my favorites. Made me smile so much!
