SpiritMuse it´s been explained below, first by 8emi95, and later by Jadelady, with exact points, and they explain the game mechanics much better then I ever could.

But let me try it my way.

In chapter 8 you can go for a walk with the prince (or you may choose not to spend diamonds, and don´t go). You get his ring if you take this walk.

In chapter 13, when you get stopped by the guard in Nooks and Crannies with Mal:

-> if you got the ring in chapter 8, you just show the ring, and the guard lets you go, you earn points and if you had maximum as an elf before, you would advance a level

-> if you didn´t get the ring, you get to talk to the guard and run, and you would have several options that gets you points. If you had max points before and choose correct options you would advance a level and get more points in the final score. Only as en elf, as for other races you would get the same outcome.

For exact points please check the posts i mentioned below, you just have to scroll the page down  and look for them.
