What was the Vice-Captain's plan/thought process exactly?
"Whoa! Did she just say something bad about my dead boss? What's going on? That can't be right! I have to KILL the princess. Not stop her, or wait to argue with her, or get to the bottom of this, but flat out KILL her. She just revealed that she's actually alive to the public, and there's conspiracy created by the government including the former royal knights, which I am a part of, so this is the perfect time to flat out kill her. I'm confused, so the cause of my confusion, the literal monarchy I'm sworn to protect has to die to stop my brain from hurting. HERE I GO!!!"
I guess in this story qualifications for the kingdom means you have to be a cruel psychopath and/or an idiot.

@DizzyDazzle I think that you got it wrong, jumped to conclusions but got something right, in a simpler way:
Put yourself in the Vice-Captain's shoes for a moment: someone who claimed to be the presumed-by-everyone-dead princess not only told him he was being lied to by all the court, including his direct superior (that he didn't look up to, to be honest), but that the very same kingdom he sworn to protect and give his life for was in truth corrupt, hypocritical and tyrannical which based it's claims in a complete lie. Everything that he believed to wasn't true. Can you really blame him to be "a little" skeptical, even coming from the alleged princess mouth?
Also, he wasn't trying to kill the princess, he was neutralizing her. Sort of like arresting her. Due to the weight of her accusations, he did the sensible thing in his eyes and instead of believeing her from the start (he went along with the charade, that's something) he wanted to take the thing to the one who might clarify the issue: the king himself. Problem that we know but he doesn't: taking her back to the castle is a TERRIBLE idea; but he's a knight. He answers to the king before anyone, even the princesses. That's where the line "I don't care about justice" come from. If his liege says right off the bat that the princess Freia is false and has to die, he kills her, no questions asked even if he KNOWS that it isn't right. And attacking her is because things got out of hand, as Freia knows that going back is suicide, so the VC has to neutralize her by force.
But yes, I agree that the high post in court are wither complete psychopaths that knows the truth and not only agree with it, but revel in the debauchery, like the former Knight Captain or Norn; or blissfully ignorant of the ways of the kingdom thinking they are the "good guys", like the Sword Princess (not that Sword Hero bitch).

Him being skeptical is absolutely justified. As far as we know, this is new information for him. If his intent is to subdue the Princess, shouldn't he say something like, "This is too much information. I don't know what's going on, but this doesn't seem right. Princess, we're going to the court until we figure this out. Come with us." But he didn't do that, he pretty much went Judge Dredd, and proclaimed himself the law, while yelling, "My brain hurt, so now you hurt!" and started swinging his sword. So all those oaths and fealty went right out the window as soon as he was skeptical about the literal second-in-command (or third) of the entire empire revealing secrets about the inner workings of the country? I don't know. I understand that it's suspicious that the Princess has apparently come back from the dead, but he never suspected that she was an imposter. He literally says, "Forgive me, Princess" as he's about to slash her.
The real issue is there is no natural progression, which is a failing on the author's part. Everything you've written in your response kind of makes sense, but you have to fill in the gaps yourself, because it's not actually written, nor implied in the actual story. If the reader has to say, "I think the author meant this, by doing this, otherwise this is a mess" it's poor writing. It's akin to me telling you about a rumor that some guy said something rude about your mother, so you immediately go over to his place and kill his dog. There are clearly some steps in-between that are missing here.

Now, be honest here chief, wouldn't YOU go full Judge Dredd in any situation that required of you at least 2 functioning brain cells?
i sure would
