Well, call me cynical but it certainly seems like they're setting her up to be the primary leader of the entirety of Gyr Abania. I will be pleasantly surprised if that isn't the case but so far it seems like it's heading in that direction. She will probably have a few key allies to 'support' her. The sort that will conveniently throw their full support behind her whilst being far more competent to the point where people start questioning as to why they aren't the primary leader figure instead.
