why did Roscuro trick the maid + took her to the dungeon ?



was it to take revange cause the princess didn't forgive him?

That's what I figured, but I'm still not clear on the reason for locking up the servant too - except maybe to keep her from telling anyone what happened to the princess? I don't know why she would, though, since she was the bitter one who wanted to be the princess herself.... whatever.

Its to teach kids that cheaters never pros-pare and what may seem like a bad thing at first may turn into a good thing after all like her being reunited with her long lost father.

As for an in-movie explanation, I think the poster just before me got it right.

Miggary Sow didn't seem to have too much on the ball. She was bound to tell whoever asked where the princess was.
