Also, in some versions of Arthurian legends, there are stories about King Arthur and the ladies in his court which can be considered princess - like figures.
Sure. 'The Little Mermaid' has elements of a king (King Triton) and the mermaid princess Ariel.

And don't forget 'Aladdin', where Jasmine is a princess and there is a Sultan (a king - like figure).
Sure. 'The Shawshank Redemption' is one. The twist at the end where Andy Dufresne's elaborate escape plan is revealed is quite something. Another is 'Pet Sematary'.

The protagonist's encounter with the haunted room has twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
There's the story of King Midas, who was granted the power that everything he touched turned to gold, but this ultimately brought him misfortune.
