You didn't find it odd that when Asuna rejoined everyone, she made no mention of being attacked by those two girls? She only mentioned taking care of the black pillars, which was the last thing any of the group witnessed her doing. Also, she did seem extra stupid when she tore out a page of the petrified book, and she was off-page for quite a while.
i never gave these facts much of a thought when they happened, but now that you mention it, they really do stand out o_O
anyhoo could it be a possibility that the princess is actually negi's mother?
