comment
Many people have more than one thing they consider worthy of Undying Loyalty: religion, country, family and friends, promises, perhaps a cause or whatever the author imagines. If a character is lucky, these differing claims can actually reinforce one another. But what happens if they conflict? Then we have Conflicting Loyalty.
Whichever the character chooses, he may regard it as Dirty Business. Many characters try (and may or may not succeed) to Take a Third Option. If the character can use a technicality, loophole, metaphorical truth, or harmless lie to resolve the dilemma in a way that benefits (or at least avoids harm to) both sides, expect this to usually be a moral act from a moral character, regardless of whether or not it succeeds.
Related to Sadistic Choice. Compare Rebellious Rebel, Anti-Mutiny. Sometimes invokes Honor Before Reason. Super-Trope to Even Mooks Have Loved Ones and To Be Lawful or Good. May be caused by Double Consciousness. Members of one or both sides may regard the person in question as a Category Traitor.

Wonder Woman (1942): Diana's oaths as an Amazon and as their champion conflict at a few points, which she's actually okay with since if things work out just right it will allow her to marry Steve Trevor using a loophole created by them. This will mean that she's no longer an Amazon of Paradise Island but can continue to act as their champion in the wider world where if she agreed to marry him without the situation fitting the loophole she'd be a banished oath breaker.

A major part of the second-season arc of The Story of Saiunkoku centers around Ran Shuuei being caught in a conflict of loyalty — between his loyalty to his Emperor (who has shown him absolute trust) and his Big Screwed Up Clan, the Rans, who dislike the emperor and only care about their own people and lands. Getting it resolved takes a lot of work (and, ultimately, intentionally getting himself disowned so that he can freely swear his unconditional loyalty to Ryuuki).

Athrun has this big time in Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny. On the one hand, Durandal sweet-talked him into rejoining ZAFT to protect his former nation PLANTs from EA attack. He also has loyalty to the crew of the Minerva as fellow soldiers who have tried to save a world that hates them. On the other hand, his adopted nation Orb was effectively blackmailed into joining the EA, and his best friend and his ex-fiancees were forced to flee with the Archangel. This all comes to a head when Orb is ordered to send a fleet out to fight ZAFT, and Athrun's ship the Minerva is sent out to fight it, and the Archangel ends up intervening against both ZAFT and the EA to protect the Orb fleet. Cue ten episodes of Athrun wrestling with his loyalties until he finally jumps ship (again) and joins Orb.
He never even really gets to totally make the choice. After learning of this Durandal decides he doesn't need someone that isn't completely loyal to him and sends soldiers after Athrun branding him a traitor to Zaft before he really did anything and forcing him to flee back to Orb.

The entire world of Dragon Age is designed to create lots of conflicts of interest, which are the main reason for many of the plotlines.
In Dragon Age II, this trope seems to be the primary theme of the whole story.
Ser Thrask is a Templar, whose job it is to monitor mages and prevent them from falling to demons. But he also hates the inhumane treatment many mages see from other Templars.
Depending on the player's choices, Aveline's duties as member of the city guard are sometimes at odds with Hawke's activities. Hawke can be a good friend to whom Aveline owes her life, but they can also be just a few degrees shy of a full-fledged criminal.
Isabela asks Hawke to help her find an "artifact" that she was supposed to transport to a crime boss so he calls off the assassins waiting for her in her homeland, while at the same time Hawke is trying to negotiate with the Qunari army to leave the city without causing trouble before rioters start a fight with them. What Isabela neglects to tell Hawke is the artifact is a holy relic she stole from the Qunari and the army has been in the city causing problems for four years, because they are looking for her and the relic. This soon leads to a massive battle that destroys half the city.
Anders had always had problems with his loyalties, but at the end of the game, his conviction that the mages can only be safe if the Templar order is destroyed leads him to ignore Hawke's attempts to find a diplomatic solution by killing the Grand Cleric, who had always been the only person who could stop both sides from attacking each other. He achieves this by blowing up the entire temple with a magic bomb.
As a Keeper, Merrill regards it as her duty to restore ancient elven magic, even if the rest of her clan thinks it is madness to get help from demons to repair a cursed magic artifact.
As tensions between the mages and Templars mount, Varric is fully aware that he will have problems with this, though in his case his loyalty is to individual people rather than overarching principles. Summed up perfectly in the following conversation:
Cullen, as second-in-command to the increasingly paranoid Knight-Commander Meredith, ultimately has to choose To Be Lawful or Good. Despite making what he knows is the right choice, it continues to have psychological problems for him in the next game.
The Dragon Age: Inquisition DLC Jaws of Hakkon poses this problem for Thane Sun-Hair of Stone-Bear Hold. She very much wants to assist the Inquisition in stopping the eponymous Jaws of Hakkon, which is another Avvar hold whose members keep attacking the Inquisition soldiers (and who are clearly up to something big and problematic). However, her hold has a peace agreement with the Hakkonites, and if she went back on that, other holds would see hers as being filled with oathbreakers. She therefore tasks the Inquisitor with finding her a really good reason for her to break the peace agreement without damaging her hold's reputation. They do, when it's revealed that the Hakkonites kidnapped Stone-Bear Hold's sacred animal.

Nibelungenlied: Conflicts of loyalty play a huge part. To point out the more important ones: In the matter of the murder of Siegfried, Gunther is torn between his obligation to protect the honour of his wife Brunhilde and those towards his vassal and brother-in-law Siegfried. Later, after the deed is done, Gunther and his brothers are torn between their feudal obligation to protect their vassal Hagen and their fraternal loyalty towards their sister Kriemhild; they opt for Hagen. Rüdiger of Bechlarn is visibly torn between the oaths he swore to his queen Kriemhild and to the Burgundians, one of whom is betrothed to Rüdiger's daughter. Kriemhild has to choose between her sisterly affections to her brothers (especially Giselher, the youngest) and to her loyalty to her dead husband Siegfried. She eventually opts for the latter, allowing Gernot and Giselher to die in battle and ordering Gunther to be executed. This is an interesting switch from earlier versions of the story (preserved e. g. in the Icelandic Atli-saga), she killed her second husband Atli (Etzel) in order to avenge her dead brothers.

In Kingdom Hearts II, his friendship with Roxas is again the driving factor of his Conflicting Loyalty. While he has no qualms with his orders to bring Roxas back, he starts to grow disgruntled with his superiors when he is tasked to eliminate Roxas. He eventually screws over the Organization, and starts working independently, leading to a Tear Jerker when he dies at Sora's side, lamenting the fact that he never got to revive Roxas. Fortunately, by the events of Kingdom Hearts III, Roxas is revived by Sora and Vexen, and reunites with Axel.

Fire Emblem:
This is often a recurring theme in the series; usually it's an enemy general struggling between his conscience and their loyalty to the nation they serve. Characters who choose their nation are called Camus archetypes by the fans, while characters who choose their conscience are called Lorenz archetypes.
Ishtar in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War is torn between her love for her family and the big bad, the reincarnation of the evil god, and what's right. She chooses to basically suicide on your army.
You also get to experience this decision for yourself in Fire Emblem Fates, where you must choose whether to side with the homeland you were born in or the country that raised you. You may also Take a Third Option.
You get hit with this in Fire Emblem: Three Houses if you're a Black Eagle. Chapter 11 reveals Edelgard is the Flame Emperor who has been orchestrating attacks on the Church throughout Part 1; if you accompanied her to her coronation in Enbarr, you must choose whether to side with the student you've been teaching for the better part of a year or the Church who has been signing your paychecks for the same amount of time. If you didn't accompany her for whatever reason, you are automatically forced to side with the Church.

Angel:
Gunn, between his old vamp hunting team and Angel's group, in "That Old Gang of Mine".
Wesley had this big time in Season 3, during the baby Connor storyline. He was struggling over whether to stay loyal to the team and Angel or help the baby even if made the team hate him - which is ultimately what happened. Foreshadowed in "That Old Gang of Mine". Wes was addressing his speech to Gunn, but it's really easy to tell it was being pointed at Wes himself as well.

The Bad Guys (2022): After getting a taste of what being good feels like, gang leader Mr. Wolf gradually finds himself conflicted on whether to stay evil with his Criminal Found Family or abandon his villainy and become a model citizen, leaving his friends behind in the process. This comes to a head at the charity gala where Wolf either has to go through with stealing the Golden Dolphin trophy as planned or let it go and get the pardon they were promised. Wolf chooses not to go through the heist, triggering a nasty falling out with his friends after the gang is framed and arrested for a crime they didn't commit. They eventually reconcile when the rest of the gang realizes Wolf was right about them becoming more than just scary villains.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, Saturn realizes in the post-game that what he'd been working for was truly terrifying (he tries to tell you that he didn't know what his previous leader, Cyrus, was really after, but he was the first character to tell you the extent of the plan, so either he's lying or he's trying to convince himself that he didn't know). But he still believes in the ultimate ideal, which is a peaceful world. Having been left in charge of Team Galactic by default, he says he's going to try to work for basically what he's always worked for, having realized that "extremism is never the answer".

Les Misérables: Conflicting Loyalties are build up in a majority of characters (including, but not limited to: Cosette, Jean, Eponine, and Gillenormand). But special notice should be given to Marius and Javert; Marius, because it's his position in the novel, and Javert because of the twist. Conflicting Loyalties are a central theme of the novel.

In River of Stars, Sha Gojyo desperately wants to stay part of Stargate Command, as remembering he was an Air Force captain helped him to withstand two years stranded on a Death World, but on the other hand he cannot bear the idea of leaving the friends he made after becoming a bodyguard to Sanzo. When General Hammond realizes how much it's eating the guy inside, he quickly solves the dilemma by naming the captain a Terran liaison to Shangri-La — and Sha Gojyo is so relieved he almost bursts into tears.

Wonder Woman:
Wonder Woman (1942): Diana's oaths as an Amazon and as their champion conflict at a few points, which she's actually okay with since if things work out just right it will allow her to marry Steve Trevor using a loophole created by them. This will mean that she's no longer an Amazon of Paradise Island but can continue to act as their champion in the wider world where if she agreed to marry him without the situation fitting the loophole she'd be a banished oath breaker.
Wonder Woman (1987): Diana's loyalty to her family and people and her loyalty to her oath to protect innocents the world over come into conflict during The Contest. In the end despite losing and no longer being the champion, she chooses to leave to uphold her oath to protect people anyway against her mother's orders.

The Dragon Age: Inquisition DLC Jaws of Hakkon poses this problem for Thane Sun-Hair of Stone-Bear Hold. She very much wants to assist the Inquisition in stopping the eponymous Jaws of Hakkon, which is another Avvar hold whose members keep attacking the Inquisition soldiers (and who are clearly up to something big and problematic). However, her hold has a peace agreement with the Hakkonites, and if she went back on that, other holds would see hers as being filled with oathbreakers. She therefore tasks the Inquisitor with finding her a really good reason for her to break the peace agreement without damaging her hold's reputation. They do, when it's revealed that the Hakkonites kidnapped Stone-Bear Hold's sacred animal.

In Attack on Titan, Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie are torn between affection for comrades and loyalty to superiors. It causes numerous major mistakes to be made, and more than one case of a Villainous BSoD. Reiner has it the worst, unable to reconcile his conflicting loyalties leads to Sanity Slippage and identity issues.
Later in the series, Mikasa comes under suspicion while the Alliance plans to fight Eren and his genocidal ambitions. Although Mikasa consistently stood with the Scouts even as Eren grew detached, they are also long-time friends and adoptive siblings, with Mikasa’s crush on Eren being apparent to everyone. Even after Eren declares that he always hated her, she still insists on stopping him without killing him, causing doubt that she would be able to do so if push came to shove. This is compounded by Eren’s claim that Mikasa, as a member of the genetically-engineered Ackermann family, is bonded to him as a “host� and thus is little more than his slave. Because of all this, although Mikasa is one of the Alliance’s best fighters, her comrades are reluctant to place their trust in her as they prepare to fight Eren.

Dark Matter (2015): Crewmember Six is hit with this bigtime in the last few episodes of Season 1. Aside from Five, the Mysterious Waif, the Raza crew are all criminal mercenaries with extensive rapsheets including everything from piracy to mass murder, but a mindwipe at the start of the series while they were in stasis for a long journey to their next target caused them all to lose their memories. Hence adopting numbers as names and rejecting their old ones after learning what kind of people they were. During "Episode 8", Six learns offscreen from a colleague that he actually wasn't a criminal at all, but an undercover cop with a mission to sabotage the Raza and deliver the crew to justice. Which their original selves arguably would have richly deserved. But now, thanks to the mindwipe, he genuinely thinks of them all as friends/Family of Choice, knows they're trying to be better people, and is very reluctant to fulfill his original mission.
Finally in "Episode 13", the season finale, Six does incapacitate the rest of the crew and bring them into custody after their heist of what turned out to be a white hole bomb unintendedly led to the destruction of an inhabited planet a few episodes ago, deciding that they're too dangerous to go free. In the Season 2 premiere "Welcome to Your New Home", he begins to have doubts after learning the Galactic Authority had known in advance about the bombing of a space station by terrorists in one of his previous undercover missions but had wanted it to happen for propaganda purposes, and in the next episode "Kill Them All", he finally helps the crew escape prison after learning that One has been whacked and the rest of them are surely next.

Jimmy made all the way to his parents' house to see them from afar, but he knows that if took one step further and actually made his presence known to them, they would have to do that. They wouldn't, he's their son, but the old James Hudson is a cop. Also, what if there is surveillance at their house, and the authorities discovered that they met him and did not call anyone? Trying to keep them out of trouble, he left.

Supernatural: Castiel deals with this during season four. All of his existence, he has been loyal to the orders sent by God through the higher ranks of the angels down to him. However, of late the orders have been increasingly strange and apparently contrary to God's wishes, and he finds himself slowly persuaded by Dean's insistence in the need to protect human life. Should he obey the higher angels, or listen to Dean and do what he was always taught God wanted? Near the end, he tries to discuss something with the angels, and is punished so badly he becomes totally loyal to them again. Until the finale, at least, when Dean finally gives him the impetus to Fall for good.

In Asura's Wrath, Yasha had to choose between his family and his duty to protect humanity from the Gohma, since Deus' plan required Asura (Yasha's brother-in-law) being scapegoated as a traitor and Mithra (his niece) enslaved as the Brahmastra's Mantra-channeler. After witnessing many people suffering after the Gohma's recent attack, Yasha sided with Deus. It got worse for Yasha since his sister Durga (Asura's wife and Mithra's mother) was also killed though it's unclear whether Deus ordered it or Sergei did it on his own just to anger Asura. 12,000 years later, Yasha has to make the choice again when Asura returns, hell-bent on saving Mithra. He initially remains loyal to Deus since he still believes stopping the Gohma is more important than anything. Ultimately, Yasha turns against Deus after battling Wrath Asura helps Yasha realize that if there's even the slightest chance to stop the Gohma without resorting to Deus' horrific plan, then he has to take it.

In Infernal, Lt. Barbara Mitchell, an EtherLight member and a friend of Lennox, is with Lennox at a bar when the EtherLight ambush occurs. She seems to have been ordered to kill Lennox as part of it, but after briefly pointing a gun at him, tells him to run. This conflicting loyalty lingers - she doesn't like what EtherLight is up to, but isn't keen on Lennox's association with the Abyss, either, wondering if she can still trust him now that he's all demon-y. In the end, she sides with Lennox, although there's a bit of Double Agent confusion before that's clear.

Raubahn in Final Fantasy XIV is the leader of Ul'dah, but is a native to Ala Mhigo, a city state that was taken over by The Empire. In Stormblood, Ala Mhigo is freed, which makes Raubahn happy since his homeland can now start anew. As much as he wants to return to his homeland, he feels that he has to stay behind in Ul'dah to serve and protect Nanamo like he had sworn to do. Nanamo can sense Raubahn's inner turmoil and she makes the decision for him by effectively firing him from his role, which would allow him to stay in Ala Mhigo.
Vtra in the Endwalker story wants to find his sister who had sealed a void gate behind her so that the voidsent couldn't invade, but he refuses to do so because he feels his duty as ruler of Radz-at-Han is more important and he can't leave his people behind. The citizens learn of this and encourage Vtra to go find his sister and that they can take care of themselves.

A relatively minor example happens in World of Warcraft in patch 4.1 Rise of the Zandalari. Following the Cataclysm, the previously player friendly Zandalari trolls have decided that they will rebuild the troll civilization at any costs, to which end they start making alliances with all the various barbaric troll tribes scattered throughout Azeroth, including the Horde aligned Darkspear Trolls, whose leader refuses the offer in a very much awesome manner:
One expansion later (in the tie-in book Vol'jin: Shadows of the Horde), Vol'jin's loyalty to the Horde is considerably weakened. The former Warchief, Thrall, had appointed an unfit replacement (even the replacement himself thought so), Garrosh, who had always been a reckless warmonger compared to his predecessor's calm, moderate personality. As the months pass, Garrosh becomes more and more unhinged, turning into a dictator with fewer and fewer qualms about executing noncombatants or even fellow Horde members. Thrall's response to this is... nonexistent; nothing is done about it. Vol'jin and Garrosh had never liked each other, and following Garrosh simply attempting to have Vol'jin killed in secret, Vol'jin is again approached by the Zandalari. The troll attempting to recruit him this time is doing so without direct orders to do so, because she admired the strength it took to defy the Zandalari last time, and she truly believes he's getting a raw deal from the Horde these days. She holds his friends hostage in order to make him listen to her pitch, but admits she's willing to defy orders and let them go if it helps sway him. With his loyalty to the Horde at its absolute lowest, Vol'jin is actually conflicted, and spends a long time wondering if taking the Darkspear and joining the Zandalari would be the right thing to do. Of course, when she brings him to her superiors and they spend the entire meeting treating him with scorn, he makes his mind up in a hurry and just engineers a midnight breakout instead.
And in a straight subversion, despite the fact we would expect the mantid to be absolutely loyal to their Hive Queen by virtue of being a race of Bee People, the Klaxxi's main goal is to keep in check the Mantid Empress in the case she ever becomes a threat to the mantid civilization. In the game, the current Mantid Empress has become corrupted by the Sha of Fear, and has engaged in all sorts of morally questionable activities due to it, so it's of no surprise that the Klaxxi want her dead. A better example comes from the backstory of one of the Paragons, whom is noted to not be the first time he has to fight a rogue Empress, altough that particular situation seems to have been much greyer (by human standards, not mantid), he still seems to not have had much of a problem doing what had to be done:

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Marietta Edgecombe is torn between her loyalty to Cho and her loyalty to the Ministry. She chooses the ministry, at what would have been the expense of Cho and a lot of other student's careers seeing as they would have all been expelled and unable to complete their NEWT exams, and for many of them their OWL exams as well if not for Dumbledore's intervention. It's implied that either she did not take Voldemort's return seriously or she believed the Ministry propaganda about him not being back, since she went willingly on her own to expose the DA to Umbridge. In her defence, Marietta has no actual loyalty to the Ministry herself- it's her mother who is employed there and she's presumably concerned about the possible effect on her career if her daughter was caught working against it.

Captain America: Civil War: While all the Avengers have this to one degree or another, none faces it more clearly than Black Widow. Having made personal connections with leaders of both factions, but also willing to see the bigger picture in her own way, her path through the movie leads in all sorts of directions. Ultimately, while publicly a supporter of Iron Man's side, her trust in Captain America leads her to make a diversionary play to help him finish his mission. Which ends up costing her good will with the government, forcing her to flee solo. (Ironically, ending up exactly on the side she was fighting against by Avengers: Infinity War)

Vincento in Hussar Ballad finds himself facing a choice of either exposing a Russian spy and sending a Friendly Enemy to his death or covering for him and betraying his own vow to his army and country. He chooses the latter, saving the hero(ine)'s life, but the defection ends tragically for him, as he is shot by the French.

Chrysalis (RinoZ): Morrelia is deeply committed to protecting humanity and other surface races from the monsters of the Dungeon. Having spent several months with the Colony, though, and watched the ants repeatedly protect their surface allies, she no longer really considers the ants to be monsters, but a peaceful people deserving protection. Unfortunately, having joined the Abyssal Legion in order to better fight against the monsters, she's obliged to take up arms when the Legion decides that the Colony is an unacceptable threat, leaving her torn and uncertain about what is the right thing to do. She eventually allows herself to be captured by the Colony and used as a bargaining chip, causing the Legion's assault to fail, and she then pursues a leadership role so that she'll be able to influence future decisions and avoid being caught in the same dilemma.

Pokémon Adventures: Black starts to show issues between his own personal agendas and the fact that he's apparently The Chosen One. He had been training his whole life to win the League but the Team Plasma shenanigans are getting in the way. It gets to the point where Reshiram refuses to come out for him just yet and his Munna leaves him because it can no longer feed on his dreams.

In Yggdra Union, Nessiah's first prerogative may be to ensure the safety and growth of the Gran Centurio, but he's also implied to care fairly deeply for the Imperial Army. When forced to choose between protecting the Imperial Army by killing the player's army, thus ensuring that the sword's current wielder will die, or joining up with the player to rescue Yggdra and oversee the Gran Centurio's growth personally, he decides to Take a Third Option and kills himself to let things play out as naturally as possible. (Which isn't as extreme as it sounds, because Nessiah's pretty nonchalant about dying for obvious reasons.) This is probably also done to preserve the balance of the game, but Nessiah having conflicted loyalties is the most reasonable explanation in-plot.

Equestria Girls: Friendship Souls:
When Celestia and Luna end up being tried as traitors, Soul Society is sent into an uproar as Soul Reapers from the lowest rank to even the other Captains have to decide whether to stand by the law of Central 46 or with the condemned Captains, both of which having records of being among the greatest members of their organization. Celestia's entire 13th Division pretty much gathers together in preparation to fight the 11th Division, and Luna's 2nd Division is noted to be split right down the middle in their loyalty.
Zecora experiences this during the trial. Her Zanpakuto is said to be impossible to fool, so despite knowing that Celestia and Luna would never betray Soul Society, she still casts the deciding vote against them. Though considering she was really Chrysalis at the time, this was subverted since she was just playing a role and fully in on Starlight Glimmer's scheme.
When evidence mounts that the "treason" has been a bunch of hogwash and nothing more than manipulation, both Blueblood and Troubleshoes falter, but their loyalty to Platinum (the only Captain who was completely in on Starlight's scheme) and Soul Society's laws respectively and lack of hard evidence lead them to siding with Hurricane (who himself honestly couldn't have cared if Celestia and Luna really were traitors and saw this as an opportunity to get Soul Society back on the offensive in the spirit war) against Sweet Cider, Cheese Sandwich, Daring Do, and Amore.

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Sylvester has family members in different two different factions of the nobility. He's already defying the trope by the time his situation is made explicit; one group was consistently making use of Screw the Rules, I Have Connections! while the other was being consistently hard-working and loyal to Sylvester, making choosing a side relatively easy. Or so it first seems. The faction associated with the realtives he turns his back on also contained the most people who supported his rule, and many of those people are starting to like the idea of seeing his older sister in his seat. The faction associated with the relatives Sylvester sided with, meanwhile, is overall reluctant to support him until he makes clearer political moves in their favor, and many of those that the faction's members have in mind are some Sylvester has no plans to make.

Kaladin ends up facing this in Words of Radiance, when his vow to the king he has sworn to protect conflicts with the vows he has made to his men, which include a man who hates the king. The conflict places him in a situation where he can't act honorably no matter what he does, which kills his honorspren (And with it his Windrunner powers) until he finds a way out of it.

This happens to Chloe a lot. During most of the middle seasons she is seriously torn between Lana and Clark, and later between Oliver and Clark's colliding ideals.
Also between Davis and Clark, especially when Davis asks her to kill him and Clark asks her not to. Also when she runs away with a resurrected Davis in an effort to stop them from killing each other. There is nothing that could Break the Cutie as brutally as being caught between Superman and Doomsday.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
There's an example of this in the third season. Mai has to choose between her love of Zuko and her fear of Azula in "Boiling Rock," and chooses her love of Zuko. When Azula goes to kill her for this, Ty Lee makes a quick choice between her friendship-based love of Mai and her fear of Azula, and she also chooses the love. Either Azula isn't really that scary (which, let's be honest, isn't completely true), or both of her friends are much more loyal (to other people) than Azula previously thought.
Zuko goes through this throughout the entire third season. He's finally got everything he's ever wanted, but he's betrayed the only family who cared for him. Team Avatar, his enemies, care more for him then his father and sister do. And then we find out that his grandfathers are not just Fire Lord Sozin but also Avatar Roku, splitting him even further. He finally chooses Team Avatar and his uncle - a decision which ultimately pays off in spectacular style.

In War of the Spider Queen, half-demon Blood Knight isn't partial about who is giving him orders as long as he can brutally tear someone to shreds. He is ordered by his mother, the high priestess of Menzoberanzan, to accompany his aunt Quenthel on her quest and follow her orders without question. However, when Quenthel starts to eat herself up with doubt and loses her faith in the Spider Goddess, he is conflicted between his loyalty and his belief that Asskicking Leads to Leadership, which is the foundation for their race's entire society. Danifae however, who as a slave is nominally the groups lowest ranking member, proves herself to be a Manipulative Bitch who plays the game of lying, betraying, and instilling fear like no-one else. When Jegrred finally switches his loyalty, Quenthel helplessly resigns and doesn't try to stop them, but when she gets all her powers back, she sacrifices him for punishment.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
At one point, Odo must choose between his loyalty to Starfleet and his feelings towards his race. He finds it quite easy to chose once he learns what his people are doing. He doesn't hate them or wishes them any harm, but that doesn't mean he is going to let them get away with their blatant disregard for Justice.
Worf also has to choose between his loyalty to Starfleet or his loyalty to his people in "The Way of the Warrior." Unlike the previous time where he chose the Empire over the Federation, this time he remains loyal to the Federation on the grounds that if he joined Gowron in the invasion of Cardassia he would be going back on his word to the Federation.
Later Garak and Damar are faced with similar choices.
Very early in the series, after the episode opens with Bashir and Garak discussing literature and Garak stating he would choose loyalty to the state every time over his personal feelings, later in the same episode he does actually face that choice (he's ordered to kill some dissidents who are under orders of execution by the Cardassian government, but which he personally feels is the wrong decision for the government to have made). Eventually, he chooses his feelings over the state. His decision is helped by the Gul who is representing the government making the Too Dumb to Live decision to try Bullying a Dragon; Garak implies afterward that this convinced him these dissidents were actually the better choice for Cardassia in the long run.

Transformers: Energon gives an interesting variant with Demolishor, whose loyalties are both to Megatron.

In the first game, Shepard is a Commander in the Systems Alliance Navy (Earth's Space Navy) who gets invited to become a Spectre, a special operative serving the will of the Citadel Council (a multi-species governing body for The Federation, which doesn't yet include Earth). It's ultimately up to the player which organization Shepard is more loyal to. Renegade!Shepard is loyal to humanity alone, and sees the Citadel Council and their resources as a means to an end; Paragon!Shepard wants humanity to join the Citadel Council, and believes in cooperation between all species. This is highlighted when Shepard must seek the help of several non-human allies—the krogan Urdnot Wrex, the turian Garrus Vakarian, the quarian Tali'zorah nar Rayya, and the asari Liara T'Soni—to stop the Big Bad; some of the Normandy's crew are uneasy with the new arrivals, wondering whether their Commander is still loyal to them.

Mass Effect 2 - Miranda is loyal to the end for Cerberus, having given up everything so they could protect her from her father. Then Shepard comes along and wins her loyalty by treating her as her own person and helping her out with a personal issue without expecting anything in return. In the endgame, if she goes with Shepard into the Final Boss area, when forced to choose between Shepard and Cerberus, she chooses Shepard. Without hesitation.

Steven Universe: Peridot initially cooperates with the Crystal Gems in an Enemy Mine because she's in just as much danger from a world ending superweapon called the Cluster as they are. In the process, she grows to like both the Earth and the Crystal Gems, but she never loses her loyalty to Homeworld or her leader, Yellow Diamond. This results in Peridot trying to convince Yellow Diamond to terminate the Cluster and spare the Earth without exposing the existence of the Crystal Gems. When Yellow Diamond fails to be swayed by the objective logic Peridot prizes and reveals that no potential benefit outweighs her desire to see Earth gone, Peridot's conflict resolves itself in the form of her calling Yellow Diamond a clod, Peridot's trademark insult.

Ga-on is forced to choose many times between his virtuous Best Friend Soo-hyun and the merciless Vigilante Man Yo-han and his questionable methods of punishing evil. His choice differs depending on the situation but he mostly takes (the morally unambiguous) Soo-hyun's side.
He was made to pick between Yo-han and Professor Min once, and he eventually chose Yo-han.

In the first game, Garrus has trouble reconciling his decision to go rogue and fight alongside Shepard with the typical Turian ideology. He ultimately accepts the fact that he's "not a very good Turian" and settles for being an extremely good lancer to the galaxy's best chance of avoiding extinction.

In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the Enterprise has a different captain, Decker, but he's quickly replaced by Kirk and demoted to first mate. This sets up a number of moments of conflicting loyalty for the crew, particularly in a scene where Decker countermands one of Kirk's orders because he has better knowledge of how the new, improved Enterprise works.

The Bhagavad Gita makes this at least Older Than Feudalism. Arjuna's family has usurped his crown with the only hope of getting it back being to fight them for it, and he is stuck between two conflicting dharmas (duties): his duty to his family and his duty as a soldier and a king. Eventually, Krishna sorts him out and tells him that he should suck it up and fight the battle.

In the Sith Warrior's story in Star Wars: The Old Republic, this ends up being the reason that Quinn betrays you. Whether you simply view them as The Mole or as a more nuanced case of conflicting loyalties depends partly on your choices.

In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the eponymous lovers are each torn between their families' warring factions and their intense devotion to each other, especially as the fighting escalates. On a less grandiose level, Juliet's Nurse is torn between wanting Juliet to be happy with Romeo, and wanting her to be happy at all. In the end, she advises Juliet to give up on Romeo and marry Paris, saying that would be the practical option.

The duty-bound Souseiseki in Rozen Maiden is conflicted between her love for her sisters and her obligation to follow her Father's wishes, which is to fight in the Alice Game and kill off said sisters until one doll remains standing. She is also this towards her mediums, whom she addresses as "Master" and is determined to help them be happy even if it keeps her trapped with no free will.

This trope is the basis for both Beatrix and Steiner's character development in Final Fantasy IX, where they stand torn between their sworn duty to protect Princess Garnet, and their loyalty to Queen Brahne who means to kill the girl. It's only when they find the queen trying to kill the princess outright that they finally come their senses and rebel.

In Nightshade:
Chojiro hesitates to side with Enju, not because he doesn't have feelings for her, but because, if he did, Koga would be destroyed if he did not kill her. Chojiro, having survived the loss of his first village, is terrified of losing his home again.
Near the end of his route, Hanzo is torn between his love for Enju or completing his mission. Ieyasu orders him to kill Enju to secure the position of Hideyori's guardian. Ultimately, Hanzo chooses to protect Enju from the rest of his clan. Thankfully, Ieyasu lets him off by only ordering proof of Enju's death (in the form of her bloodied sash), allowing her to live on in secret and spare Hanzo from defying his orders.

Examples from Superman comics:
Jimmy Olsen suffers from this in Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #8: "The Betrayal of Superman" when he agrees to take on a missing persons case for a sick friend, only to find that the "missing person" is Supes' other persona — does he keep his pal's Secret Identity secure or keep his promise to his other friend? Fortunately, he manages to Take a Third Option by working with Superman.
During the New Krypton story arc, Supergirl was torn between loyalty to her cousin and her adopted planet and loyalty to her mother Allura -who hated and blamed humanity for her husband's death- and her Kryptonian kin. She tries to protect everyone, but eventually both sides go to war.
In The Untold Story of Argo City, Kara feels divided between her birth parents who loved her and raised her until she was fifteen, when they were forcefully separated from her... and between her adoptive parents who took her in when nobody else did and raised her since she was sixteen.

Animorphs: Ax's entire character arc is built on this. He is an aristh, the Andalite equivalent of a cadet, and thus the only one of the Animorphs to have prior affiliations. Further, his culture places a very high value on loyalty and service, meaning that even when he learns the Andalite military is doing things that aren't entirely kosher, he is still obliged to support them. And yet, he comes to find himself caring for his human friends, who are at first simple allies of expedience but slowly grow into true companions. This is the main reason why David is referred to in-series as the Sixth Ranger rather than Ax - almost every book Ax has in the 54-book run is devoted to this conflict in some way, and it's not until he's given an ultimatum in the second-to-last book that he finally commits himself fully to the Animorphs.

Le Chevalier d'Eon has this as a major theme. Events really start unravelling around the topic of loyalty to an individual versus loyalty to a cause, or when loyalty to "king and country" ends up as two conflicting loyalties. The first event to really drive this home is when Durand - an unconditionally loyal secret agent - is ordered by his king to kill his friends to protect a state secret. This screws him up enough to nearly get him killed. In the end, he insists on protecting his friends while still trying to have it both ways. A villain later tries to persuade Durand to join him by calling him out on it, asking why Durand would serve a king who would give him such an order. Even then, Durand doesn't give in.

The Empirium Trilogy: Rielle is torn between her long held love for Audric and Corien's appeals to her bruised ego. On the hand, she'd love nothing more to stay with Audric and become a revered heroine in the eyes of her countrymen. On the other hand, her power is insatiable and always hungers for more, thus making the restrictions placed on her powers and actions all the more stifling. Corien claims that if she joins him, she'll be given free reign and won't have to answer to anyone. It's this internal conflict that drives her as much as external ones.

The Heroes of Might and Magic II expansion The Price of Loyalty had this in one of its campaigns. Interestingly it isn't the eponymous campaign, but in "Voyage Home", where the final scenario is a war between the protagonist's sister (whom he is close to) and his king (who has treated the protagonist honorably during his years of service, giving him no reason to rebel), with the protagonist forced to choose which side to fight on.

Star Trek: The Original Series:
Several times, Kirk has to decide whether to violate the Prime Directive in order to save the Enterprise. Each time he goes ahead and breaks it, always coming up with a plausible rationale for doing so. The only time he ever enforces it is when another starship captain violates it.
In "The Menagerie", Spock shows his loyalty to his former captain Christopher Pike by risking the Starfleet death penalty for taking him to Talos IV. He spends the two-parter torn between his loyalty to Kirk and his loyalty to Pike — committing mutiny against the former to help the latter.
In "Amok Time", Captain Kirk must choose between obeying Starfleet orders and going to Altair VI or taking Spock to Vulcan to save his life, which could result in Kirk being court-martialed.

Necessary Roughness:
Danni works as a therapist for the New York Hawks, a football team. As a psychiatrist her primary responsibility is to her patients, the players. However, this can conflict with the wishes of the team's management who want the problem fixed immediately and the players back on the field. When the new manager suggests that Danni break patient confidentiality, she tell him off and is fired.
Nico has to judge multiple instances of this. His loyalty to Danni can conflict with his loyalty to the team. His loyalty to the team can conflict with his loyalty to the team's owner Marshall Pittman. His loyalty to Marshall often conflicts with his loyalty to Marshall's wife and daughter. In season three he gets a whole new set of conflicting loyalties as he has to juggle his loyalty to Danni with his loyalties to his new bosses in V3 and his loyalty to whoever has him acting as a mole in V3.

Waltharius: Hagen's old friendship to Walther conflicts with his duty as a retainer of his king Gunther, who wants Walther to surrender his gold and his fiancé Hiltgunt to him, and, when Walther predictably refuses these conditions, orders his champions to engage Walther in life-and-death combat. Hagen first tries to talk Gunther out of his plan and advises him to accept a compromise; when Gunther in turn accuses him of cowardice, Hagen refuses all orders and stands by as his companions fight with Walther. Only after Walther has killed eleven Frankish champions including Hagen's own nephew Patavrid, Gunther apologizes and implores Hagen that the Franks will never recover from the shame if they let Walther get away unpunished. With the new state of affairs, Hagen is concerned that his own honor as a warrior could be compromised if he continues to do nothing, and finally agrees to fight Walther.

This is a common theme in A Song of Ice and Fire:
Throughout the story, Ned always chooses Honor Before Reason, every time, no matter how much the other choice would help him. But at the end of the first book, he must choose between his honor and his family, the one thing that matters to him more. He finally decides against honor. It doesn't help.
In order to gain the political support of the Freys, Robb vows to marry a daughter from the Frey family. However, when he sleeps with a girl while he is pledged to the Frey daughter, he must choose to either keep his vow to marry the Frey daughter or protect the honor of the girl. He chooses to protect the girl's honor and breaks his oath to the Freys — resulting in far-reaching consequences.
Jaime Lannister is known across Westeros as the Kingslayer for killing the king he swore to protect. He provides the page quote when he points out that the oaths about honoring your family and honoring your King are forced to be helplessly contradictory sooner or later. But once the readers get to know him, they learn that Jaime can actually be very loyal, if his loyalty is earned (or if you sleep with him enough). When he killed the king, he chose between his duty to his king and to his father and family. Also, the fact that choosing his family meant saving thousands of innocent lives is what tipped the balance for him. He also debates with a fellow Kingsguard whether their vow to protect the royal family extends to protecting the Queen from the King. Notably, the reason that Jaime refused to explain his actions is because this would reveal the true level of the Mad King's sins. Protecting the King's secrets is the only oath Jaime can keep that doesn't conflict with any other.
Brienne's level of Honor Before Reason would confound even the Starks. She takes quite a number of vows, and it's always for a good cause. Protect Renly. Protect Lady Catelyn. Protect Jaime. Bring Sansa home. Later, she is implied to take another vow: to kill Jaime. Not surprisingly, a few of her vows start to conflict after a while.
Jon Snow gets this a few times. At first, it's always between the Watch and something else: his family he loves, the girl he loves, his home, his friends. In the first book, he has a conversation with Maester Aemon about this conflict, who once faced the very same situation Jon does. Later, once he becomes Lord Commander, it's between his commitment not to interfere in the affairs of the realm and his desire to protect innocents and right wrongs.
Theon gets trapped between his adopted brother and his birth family.
Stannis notes this early, describing the difficulty in choosing to side with his brother in the rebellion against the rightful king.

Vice Admiral Garp of One Piece has a pretty severe case of this throughout the Whitebeard arc. He's torn between his loyalty to the World Government and Navy as a Vice Admiral and as a friend/comrade of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, his feelings towards his grandsons Ace and Luffy who are both notorious pirates along with Ace facing execution, and his own promise to Gold Roger to take care of his son Ace. It's so bad that he all but throws the fight against Luffy when he tries to stop him from saving Ace. Ultimately, he fails to uphold any of these promises due to this conflict. Sengoku realized he threw the fight, Ace is killed by Akainu anyway, and Luffy suffers total mental collapse. Curly Dadan angrily calls him out on this, enraged he would dare show his face in the village again.

The ancient play Antigone is about a woman choosing between law and loyalty to her brother. She chooses burying her brother though it is against the law, forcing her uncle to choose between her and the law. He chooses the law.
The laws of the gods insisted Polynices be buried; King Creon decreed that he must not be buried because he attacked the city. Antigone chose the gods' law rather than the king's law. A priest even calls Creon out on his treatment of Antigone.

After learning that Jon is a Targaryen, Barristan is torn between staying in Westeros and swearing fealty to him, or going to Essos in order to uphold his original oath to Daenerys. He ultimately decides on Jon, due to feeling a need to protect his old friend's son.

Spider-Man: Life Story: Captain America voices this to Spider-Man when he meets him. He's a soldier and veteran of World War II and he's been asked to fight in the Vietnam War, whose causes he has doubts about, and yet at the same time real American troops are risking their lives for it. Cap tells Spidey that he plans to head to Vietnam and see with his own eyes and ears what's up. He has revealed to have become an independent agent defending civilians against war criminals from both sides, making him a "traitor" in the eyes of American troops.

Dominoes:
Practically all of Shinichi's relationships are marred by the fact that his Control Freak father, Yuusaku, has positioned himself so that every friend and authority figure Shinichi knows also works for Yuusaku. Including Shinichi's girlfriend Ran, who honestly believes that it's best they micromanage and control his life in order to "protect" him.
Hattori is torn between his desire to befriend Shinichi and his position as one of the Irregulars, especially as it becomes clearer and clearer that his boss Yuusaku has been exploiting his position to exert control over his son. Following the climax of Part 1, Hattori quits the Irregulars so he can search for the missing Shinichi without having that conflict of interest hanging over his head anymore.
While Agasa considers Yuusaku to be a dear friend, he doesn't agree with how he's been treating Shinichi, having secretly built an armory's worth of tools and gadgets to aid Shinichi in his investigations, which he provides him with once it becomes clear that Shinichi needs all the help he can get to deal with a crisis.

In Code Geass, Suzaku Kururugi is Japanese by birth, and only wants to protect his country - and is working in the military of The Empire that invaded it. And then there are his loyalties to the people he cares about, many of whom are at various points on opposite sides of the conflict. And then there's his personal ideology...
Not to mention Lelouch Lamperouge, who himself has this conflict starting when he finds out he's the pilot of the Lancelot.

In Summer Camp Nightmare, in the early part of the teenagers' takeover of Camp North Pines, The Smart Guy Donald Poultry must make a decision to side either with his friend Chris Wayne or with Franklin Reilly, who saved his life when he was drowning in the lake. Donald chooses Franklin over Chris at first, even going so far as giving him and Heather from Camp South Pines the Silent Treatment at the order of Franklin, but when things get really deep during the takeover and the revolutionists start acting really strange, Donald rejects his alliance with Franklin and sides with Chris so they can get the police to end the takeover and bring the children safely home.

Winter Cicada is about Star-Crossed Lovers during the great Boshin civil war in Japan (1864 to 1869). Akizuki is on the isolationist side (expel foreigners and keep the Shogunate system) and Kusaka is on the imperialist side (open the borders and embrace modern culture). Somewhat subverted in that both main characters want to keep the borders open, but nonetheless they end up going along with their clans.

The Bible: The Israelite Prince Jonathan was caught by his insane father's paranoia of Jonathan's comrade David. He chose David.
Also from the Bible: In the gospels of Matthew and Luke, Jesus says "nobody can serve two masters, for you will either love the one and hate the other, or you will be devoted to one and despise the other." He also goes on to say that "you cannot serve both God and mammon [or money]".

Game of Thrones:
A recurring theme for Jaime Lannister all through the series:
The HBO adaptation changes the page quote slightly, making the focus on Jaime's conflicting loyalties even sharper. If you've sworn to defend both the king and the innocent, what do you do when said king kills innocent people?
As he revealed to Brienne, Jaime broke his oath and killed the Mad King when he decided to explode huge quantities of wildfire hidden beneath King's Landing. This action saved 500,000 lives but came at the price of his honor and universal contempt for soiling his office.
He faces this dilemma again in Season 4 on his return to King's Landing when he must choose between his brother and the rest of his family when Joffrey dies and Tyrion is arrested and Sansa is suspected and also between protecting Sansa - an oath he swore to Catelyn Stark, which is complicated by her death and a changed political landscape - and pleasing Cersei. Jaime had also made the decision to honour his Kingsguard vows as best as possible, but this is no easy task. He eventually decides to go against his family in secret, giving Brienne help to rescue Sansa, and working with Varys to rescue Tyrion.
Ned Stark consistently chooses Honor Before Reason no matter the cost until he must choose between his honour and his other core value: his family.
Jon Snow is constantly caught between his duty to Night's Watch and family, justice, and love. First, he wants to go to war beside his family, but he doesn't want to leave the Watch after swearing to serve, then the needs of the Watch require he overlook the crimes of Craster, then he falls in love with a Wildling. He is also conflicted between the Watch's purpose and protecting the soft and unreliable Sam. Jon's very conflicted.
Theon Greyjoy gets caught between the Starks who held him hostage but treat him somewhat kindly and the Greyjoys who despise him as a symbol of weakness and failure. Since he finds he cannot fully be a Stark, he tries to be a Greyjoy, only to realize too late that he chose wrong.
In one of the Histories and Lore segments, Stannis describes the choice between his lawful king and his elder brother as the hardest choice he ever made. Since he is both of these to Renly, he views Renly's refusal to support him as doubly treacherous.
Walder Frey parleys the question of loyalty to the king vs. loyalty to his lord into an advantageous deal with Robb Stark in "Baelor".
After the invasion of Westeros doesn't go quite as planned, Daenerys accuses Tyrion of deliberately pulling his punches because he doesn't want to kill his family. The truth is more complicated. Tyrion wants Jaime to live (being the only Lannister left who ever actually loved Tyrion), but he doesn't give a damn about Cersei, who would kill him on the spot. However, in the Season 7 finale Cersei doesn't have him killed, and he instinctively gives her a goblet of wine to share.

Fate/stay night: For the third route, there's a choice between killing the innocent Sakura or putting hundreds or thousands of lives at risk. The first is Shirou wanting to save as many lives as possible and the second is based on trying to have there be no sacrifices and everyone be happy instead. The previous routes also involved this conflict, but the third route is where it finally comes to a head. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot have both. He chooses to save Sakura, and even in the best of endings this results in widespread death and destruction. Sakura herself is horrified at the situation she put him in.

Son of the Sannin:
Haku is torn between his pledged loyalty to Zabuza, and the fact he's grown accustomed to living in Konoha, even finding himself a girlfriend in Tenten. However, this is solved when at the end of the Kirigakure War arc, Zabuza officially gives him permission to leave him, and Mei Terumi, who has just been instilled as Mizukage, names him her official ambassador in Konoha. In Chapter 69, when asked by Hotaru what he would do if both villages went to war with each other again, he replies that he would pick neither side, and his work is to ensure that never comes to pass.
Played for Laughs with Karin at the beginning of the Kirigakure civil war arc where she isn't sure if she should cheer for Sasuke or Neji during a sparring match since the former is her teammate but the latter is her boyfriend.

Androgyninja's A Dose of Venom: Inoichi is the head of the Yamanaka clan, as well as a high-ranking member of Konohagakure's T&Inote Torture and Interrogation Unit. Most of the clan despises Sakura after she defeated Ino during their preliminary match in the Chuunin Exams, especially since she broke free of their signature technique in the process. But Ino herself doesn't hold it against Sakura and has been rekindling her friendship with her, which causes Inoichi to be torn between his daughter's wishes and the clan's concerns, on top of how Sakura is being targeted by other powerful people who disagree with how she's challenging the status quo.

In Sands of Destruction, Kyrie promises Morte that he'll help her end the world if that's what she wants, but after Elephas Rex points out that he can't be with her if the world is destroyed, Kyrie begins to feel an internal conflict between his desire to keep his promise and his desire to keep Morte safe. He ultimately chooses to save her - and the world - by asking Naja to kill him so he can't lose control of himself. This causes Morte to change her mind and decide that remaking the world is better than outright destroying it, and after finding a way to resurrect him, that's exactly what they set out to do.

Murder Rooms: During a particularly difficult investigation in "The White Knight Stratagem", Conan Doyle, who serves as a mediator between his friend and mentor Joseph Bell and Bell's old enemy Lieutenant Blaney, grows to sympathize with the latter. Which doesn't make Bell happy, especially considering the fact that Doyle refuses to support his theory on the case and instead, apparently, supports Blaney's. Doyle feels uncomfortable. In the end it is revealed that Doyle joined forces with the lieutenant only because he suspected that Blaney had something to do with the crime. However, it is likely that Doyle still felt sorry for him.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Discord manipulates Rainbow Dash this way by tricking her into thinking she has to make a choice - stay and play the game by the rules or retake her wings and fly off to save her hometown from being destroyed. She picks the latter, and Discord uses this as an excuse to declare the game over because someone cheated. Not that it mattered anyway, as regardless of which choice she made, she'd play into his hand by betraying something she cares about and going against her Element Of Harmony which was Discord's intention.
Rainbow Falls has a decidedly less sadistic version where Rainbow Dash is forced to choose between her loyalty to her friends and the Ponyville Team (which, to not mince words, sucks), and her loyalty to the Wonderbolts and their team. This turns out to be her Secret Test of Character which in turn bestows her the Loyalty key to the Tree of Harmony chest.
Another one that counts is Sugar Belle in the big finale episode. The pony races fall for Queen Chrysalis spreading rumors and hate and causing the pony races to hole up with their own kind. In Ponyville, we see unicorn Sugar Belle choosing her new husband Big Mac and his family, who are earth ponies, rather than holing up with the rest of the unicorns in Canterlot.

Child of the Storm: in Ghosts of the Past, Harry is repeatedly caught between trusting and being honest with Ron and Hermione, and obligations to keep secrets from them - in some cases, intensely personal secrets. These include hiding the fact that the Winter Soldier a.k.a. Bucky Barnes is alive, since he gave Arthur Weasley a Mercy Kill in HYDRA's assault on the Ministry and that Hermione is actually adopted, and the biological daughter of Wanda Maximoff and John Constantine. The former is secret for security reasons, the latter he figures out and keeps mum on at Wanda's request (since Wanda is his godmother).This, combined with his tendencies to keep them on the sidelines for their own protection, and Locked Out of the Loop because he's not particularly eager to talk to anyone about whatever he's been through unless they were there, causes increasing friction, and both sides are profoundly unhappy about it.

Near the end of the first season of Galavant, Gareth the brutal and formidable chief enforcer and bodyguard of Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain King Richard refuses an order given to him by Madalena, Richard's new queen, to torture the heroes. Gareth clearly states that it's not because of any objection to torture, as Madalena guesses, but because Gareth is loyal to Richard, not Madalena. After Madalena leaves however, Gareth begins angrily debating with himself about the whole thing, because while he's loyal to Richard he doesn't respect Richard. Gareth has known Richard since the two men were in their teens, and he knows better than anyone that Richard is a bumbling Manchild. He does respect Madalena's strength (and since he eventually falls in love with her in Season 2, perhaps there are already seeds of that growing), but she's a newcomer in his life and he hasn't developed any loyalty to her yet.

She would like for Nero to join a coven so that he won't be branded a wild witch, but at the same time, she doesn't want to risk alienating him from her by forcing him, which gives her a lot of grief. It gets worse when Belos himself gives Lilith an ultimatum for her to get Nero to join the Emperor's Coven before the Day of Unity or else he'll be petrified.

However, over time, he comes to admire her as a ruler as much as his Black Prince, and he eventually admits when outing himself that if it ever comes down to it, he wouldn't be able to pick a side between the two of them and would have to stay neutral.
Like in canon, Theon experiences this conflict between his Iron Born family and his mainlander friends. Unlike in canon, however, he chooses his friends.

In Nomine: Due to the Geas system, Lilim tend to face this on a routine basis, with favors called in that require them to betray existing loyalties. Their sisters understand that this happens, their other employers are far less understanding. With that said, deliberately setting a Lilim up so that she'll suffer dissonance from rival Geasa pulling her both ways is considered abuse, and Lilith won't be happy with the one involved.

In the (now non-canon) DuckTales and Darkwing Duck crossover "Dangerous Currency", Scrooge comes to St. Canard, and he and Darkwing really do not get along. The fact that his "two best friends hate each other" is stressful for Launchpad, who worries that they'll never get it sorted out and he'll be forced to pick one or the other. This is even represented on one of the covers, with Scrooge and Darkwing pulling on opposite sides of Launchpad's pilot's helmet. Fortunately, the two ultimately become Vitriolic Best Buds and the situation is resolved.

Erfworld:
Jillian is in love with both Ansom and Wanda, which is rather awkward when the two are on opposite sides of a war.
When Wanda begins "decrypting" people (think a creepy form of resurrection) using the divine Arkenpliers, this happens a lot. The decrypted are automatically loyal to her, but retain all their old memories. While they are compelled to serve her above all else, this can cause serious friction with their old Loyalty. Royals especially have trouble, since Wanda is part of a Side that has denied the Divine Right of Kings. Ossomer ends up turning back to his original Side over this.
Lilith mentions that many of the decrypted archons still love Charlie, their old boss. Since he used the divine Arkendish to pop them, they were loyal to him in the same way that the decrypted are loyal to Wanda; the archons do serve her above all else, but they spend quite a bit of time whispering about what Charlie would have done differently.
Lilith herself is both a subversion and a straight example; she has no Loyalty left for Charlie, which is why she is happy she is the one he managed to capture. Some of her decrypted sisters still loved him and would have begged to be let back into the fold, and he would have dissected them anyway. Later, Wanda does something very stupid by countermanding one of Parson's orders. When Parson asks Lilith what happened, Lilith thinks to herself that sometimes you don't know which way your Loyalty is going to fall until a choice actually appears in front of you. Then she tells Parson the truth, that it was Wanda's fault.
Bonnie is another subversion. After she gets decrypted, she really hates her new Side, but not because she misses Charlie specifically. She just misses the organization he was able to bring to his Side. It certainly doesn't help that her new Ruler is an idiot, the entire leadership corp is a mess, and everyone keeps insisting that the most important unit is some low-level warlord who managed to get them into two impossible wars at the same time.

In Warrior Cats, the Warrior Code is very strict about inter-Clan relationships to prevent this kind of situation. It is broken many times, though, and results in cats having to choose between loyalty to Clan, family or love.

In Red Dead Redemption 2:
Javier Escuella has this. While still blindly obedient to Dutch van der Linde, he's noticeably hesitant in drawing his gun on Arthur Morgan and John Marston, whereas the rest of Dutch's loyalists aimed at them without question.
Dutch thinks this is happening to John. He is noticeably bitter and hostile to John Chapter 4 and onward when John is taking his role as a father and husband more seriously even though John continues to remain loyal to the gang. While others like Arthur and Hosea don't share these concerns, it's possible that Dutch sees John embracing his role as a family man as a threat to Dutch's power over John. It's worth noting that Dutch and John's relationship deteriorates the more John becomes a better husband and father.

You get hit with this in Fire Emblem: Three Houses if you're a Black Eagle. Chapter 11 reveals Edelgard is the Flame Emperor who has been orchestrating attacks on the Church throughout Part 1; if you accompanied her to her coronation in Enbarr, you must choose whether to side with the student you've been teaching for the better part of a year or the Church who has been signing your paychecks for the same amount of time. If you didn't accompany her for whatever reason, you are automatically forced to side with the Church.

In Dragon Age II, this trope seems to be the primary theme of the whole story.
Ser Thrask is a Templar, whose job it is to monitor mages and prevent them from falling to demons. But he also hates the inhumane treatment many mages see from other Templars.
Depending on the player's choices, Aveline's duties as member of the city guard are sometimes at odds with Hawke's activities. Hawke can be a good friend to whom Aveline owes her life, but they can also be just a few degrees shy of a full-fledged criminal.
Isabela asks Hawke to help her find an "artifact" that she was supposed to transport to a crime boss so he calls off the assassins waiting for her in her homeland, while at the same time Hawke is trying to negotiate with the Qunari army to leave the city without causing trouble before rioters start a fight with them. What Isabela neglects to tell Hawke is the artifact is a holy relic she stole from the Qunari and the army has been in the city causing problems for four years, because they are looking for her and the relic. This soon leads to a massive battle that destroys half the city.
Anders had always had problems with his loyalties, but at the end of the game, his conviction that the mages can only be safe if the Templar order is destroyed leads him to ignore Hawke's attempts to find a diplomatic solution by killing the Grand Cleric, who had always been the only person who could stop both sides from attacking each other. He achieves this by blowing up the entire temple with a magic bomb.
As a Keeper, Merrill regards it as her duty to restore ancient elven magic, even if the rest of her clan thinks it is madness to get help from demons to repair a cursed magic artifact.
As tensions between the mages and Templars mount, Varric is fully aware that he will have problems with this, though in his case his loyalty is to individual people rather than overarching principles. Summed up perfectly in the following conversation:
Cullen, as second-in-command to the increasingly paranoid Knight-Commander Meredith, ultimately has to choose To Be Lawful or Good. Despite making what he knows is the right choice, it continues to have psychological problems for him in the next game.

In Adventures of the Little Koala, Roobear ends up stuck in an example of this near the beginning of "Who Will Be the Flower Queen?". With Weather predicting an outstanding eucalyptus blossom display for the year's eucalyptus blossom festival, the village decides to hold an election for the queen of the festival. But as both Laura and Betty plan to enter the competition, Roobear is caught between promising to vote for his sister and wanting to vote for his would-be girlfriend. Luckily for Roobear, it becomes a moot point when the rules of the contest are changed to award the crown to whoever produces the most beautiful eucalyptus blossoms - which ends up being a joint award to literally every girl who enters the contest.

Firefly:
Simon chooses to rescue his sister, not only against the wishes of The Government but against those of his parents. He also chose her over a calling he loved which may have been even harder.
Also, in "War Stories", Mal admits that he was initially against Zoe's marriage to Wash, concerned that it would split loyalties amongst the crew.
Strongly averted by Zoe in the same episode when given a choice between saving Mal or Wash from torture. She picks Wash because Mal can take the torture and Wash can't, while Wash's piloting skills will be needed for the team's Big Damn Heroes moment to rescue Mal.

Kikuyo, a maid for the Nishizumi family who is also a Parental Substitute for her mistress' daughter, Miho, also has this problem when her mistress tells her to inform Miho that she will be disowned if she loses to Saunders in the semifinals. She's personally loyal to her mistress, who was also her former tankery instructor, but also has no wish to see Miho be disowned, and so finds herself wondering what she can do to help.

Kingdom Hearts has Axel. Although he apparently suffers from Chronic Backstabbing Disorder and has no issues with being a Double Reverse Quadruple Agent when necessary, he's shown some capacity to be conflicted in which side to stick with:
In Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, Axel's friendship with Roxas and Xion conflicts with his orders by the Organization to "let things run their natural course". Even his friendship with the pair suffers from this trope, as he comes to realize that only one of them can survive, and one of them has to perish to ensure the survival of the other.
In Kingdom Hearts II, his friendship with Roxas is again the driving factor of his Conflicting Loyalty. While he has no qualms with his orders to bring Roxas back, he starts to grow disgruntled with his superiors when he is tasked to eliminate Roxas. He eventually screws over the Organization, and starts working independently, leading to a Tear Jerker when he dies at Sora's side, lamenting the fact that he never got to revive Roxas. Fortunately, by the events of Kingdom Hearts III, Roxas is revived by Sora and Vexen, and reunites with Axel.

Deadpool had this in the post recent chapters of his solo series. He has loyalty and friendship with Captain America & SHIELD agent, Emily Preston. But he sides with the former. Cap, who has been Cosmic Cubed into a Hydra agent, sent Deadpool on a mission to assassinate Phil Coulson and prevent him from warning everyone about what's happening with him and Hydra. Coulson was a very close friend of Preston's and Wade felt guilty after completing the task. He asks Cap how he will ever explain things to Preston.
Later, Wade meets up with Preston to check on the family when a dark dome appears over Manhattan. She tells Deadpool to get in the car so they can find Coulson. Wade is completely torn. Preston wonders why Wade needed to see Coulson the other night, and Wade lies about the reason, and tells Preston he never found Coulson. When they get to his hide-out -which Wade burned down after killing Phil, he says it didn't look that way the other night he was there. He continues to play dumb while there, but Preston finds out the truth when she watches a surveillance video.

Anything involving the Supertrooper project on Galaxy Rangers will send Shane Gooseman, the team's Lancer, straight to this trope. Goose was the youngest of the Troopers, and the only one who remained loyal to Earth's government after the disaster that ended the project. His loyalty was "rewarded" by BETA forcing him into becoming a Hunter of His Own Kind. It's not so much of an issue with Psycho for Hire Kilbane, but a much bigger problem when it came to Darkstar (who just wanted to be left alone with her boyfriend), and Max Sawyer (who may or may not have been guilty of the crimes he was charged with).

Star Trek: The Next Generation:
In "A Matter of Honor", Commander Riker serves briefly on a Klingon ship as part of an officer exchange program. When the captain of the Klingon vessel, Kargan, suspects the Enterprise to have sabotaged his ship, he demands Riker tell him how best to attack the Enterprise. When Riker refuses, Kargan accuses him of being negligent in the oath of loyalty he took when joining his crew. Riker states emphatically that he will not break any oath he had taken, neither to Kargan nor to Starfleet: if so ordered, he would join Kargan in battle and go down swinging fighting the Enterprise, but he would not reveal any secrets that would endanger the Enterprise.
Admiral Norah Satie and her aide Sabin Genestra accuse both crewman Simon Tarses and Lieutenant Worf of conflicting loyalties in "The Drumhead" as Tarses had a Romulan grandfather and Worf's father was (wrongly) accused by the Empire of betraying the Khitomer outpost to the Romulans.
In "Redemption" Worf has to decide whether his duty as a Starfleet officer or his duties as a member of the House of Mogh take precedence. Feeling he owes a debt to Gowron for restoring his honor, Worf resigns his commission as a Starfleet officer in order to fight in the Klingon Civil War.
