Iris and Saber have a kind of princess/knight dynamic. In one (unfortunately) cut scene, Saber sworn by her blade she would protect her life.

Come back after episode 11.
Spoiler for spoilers for the mad feast of kings novel chapter/episode 11:
Although I'm a bit unhappy how they didn't portray Saber's self righteous, higher than thou-ness attitude in what was episode 5. What a missed chance to portray them as foils (in their way of kingship) as they were presented since their meeting. One thing about Saber and Rider is that they have different ways of how they carry themselves as rulers: Saber sough peace for her kingdom and thwarted the invasions from the Saxons. She also embraced selfness of a martyr, enduring all on her lonesome, rejecting her own humanity becoming an ideal her people could not understand. Rider was her opposite. He wanted to invade to seek prosperity for his kingdom. He embraced the selfish human nature to the extreme, thus he laughed, loved, hated, raged, wept harder than anyone else. So he was a leader to his people, being the pinnacle of humanity that marked an example to follow. However, deep inside they value the same: the bond with their followers and an unreachable utopia.
Oh well...
