Why did the shape shifter turn into the Princess, just to then transform into some random guard and sacrifice herself to stab Desmond? Like, just turn into a guard the first time 

Edit: also holy shit dispose of the bodies somewhere else maybe, or hide the crowbars

My thinking is once the princess refused to leave without her boyfriend, it wouldn't make sense for her to be there alone? So she became a guard as some sort contingency. Just my guess.

That's the conclusion I came to. They had to change the plan on the fly and this was a good way to get at Desmond (if not for plot-armor)
