Hi,
Does the bolded on in the above mean "going on" or something else? Thanks.

"on" is a preposition that indicates a position, state, or location something is. the above does indicate she is "going on" an adventure but it more specifically says the prince "takes her on" or in other words brings her with him on an adventure. i don't know if any of that helps but i hope so.
