This isn't a happy fantasy like all the other generic ones where everything goes well for them. This is a fantasy where it has semi realistic aspects with a reasonable main character who doesn't hold all the cards in their deck. She is playing safe while putting her priorities at bay. Why should she trust the random kid who betrayed orders for her? The kid who she knows will betray her sooner or later?
