I don't think she ran away because of the royalties she was pretending to be were coming, but because her HP was below 10% and she had no choice but to be forcibly teleported away to town. If it ain't for her debuff she probably would have stayed and think of a way to deal with the royalties that were coming because she seemed like she had unfinished business in the capital, at least that's my take on it.
Though I don't really know what unfinished business she has, it wasn't really clear in the story -w- maybe something to do with the sword or Elaine? Who knows... I also don't really know why she didn't just get nise to clear her debuff, but I guess the author just wanna show the cute elephant bird hatching I guess
Can someone explain why she had to run away on the day of the competition if she was gonna accept things so easily? This is my take on this, she was afraid that when the actual royalties, the one she is claiming to be, arrives she will be caught so she ran away, but since they got into an accident she decided to just go with the flow. Am i getting it right, or did i miss something?
