@deleted user but he's shown more than once that he doesn't understand women's high society. How they fight and win on their own terms, and how Sally, a poor, humble background woman experiences it.
She is right and she said it earlier, she needs her own solid position and standing as an independent entity.
She saw how being solely him mistress, letting herself be dependant on him went the first time round.
If she's only relying on his power to bulldoze through problems it won't work long term, and she'd never be respected.
Waiting for him to ride in and fix everything and not fighting herself will make her feel even more powerless and hopeless.
Two people fighting is better that her making herself a sitting duck waiting for the next attack. Plus she can go places and do things he can't. Going with the princess as one of her people, is part of the foundation of building her own protection.
She's looking for into the future, and thinking that the society he is tied to, is not where she wants to be, even if she loves him.
So there's going to come a point where she has to make that choice
