How Episode 4 Ends

Cedric tries to dispatch Laila to the imperial orphanage with the palace guard. Rather than departing, Laila clutches Cedric's leg and insists he take responsibility since he intervened. Will the stern crown prince discard the stubborn orphan, or will her refusal to let go compel the brothers to take her with them into the palace?
