In the LN

Spoiler for the carriage and clay wolf scene:

Riese did infaxt have four guards with her, Beatrice who specializes in defense and other three better suited to offense. The latter wew quickly killed, making Beatrice realize that she had no chance of winning and had to sacrifice herself to buy time for Riese to escape. So yeah, the princess was better protectedand the nonster was shown to be quite formidable.

I too wasn't a big fan of failed assassination scene. It would've been better if Riese and Beatrice were shown talking beforehand about using non lethal force to restrain the girl, but having Riese stopping her friend during the fight, putting both of them in danger, felt at best too reckless and at worst stupid.
