And before anyone brings it up, being a follower of the church doesn't make him immune to the king's wrath.

He essentially said "Take her" to the soldiers-- He didn't give her an option, she just went with the flow after the fact. He also kidnapped the noble of that manor and was beating him, she was a direct witness to that. Get rid of any trace of evidence that Melty was there, and the king would never know. Let Melty go back and she'll put in a bad word to the king about him. The other soldiers would be culpable for not protecting the princess so they'd have to keep quiet about it. The king threatened to have the heads of the soldiers if they couldn't find Melty, imagine what they'd do if they were in the vicinity of Melty and didn't save her.
