And yet she defects to continue fighting as a soldier in the service to another monarch? It doesn't make much sense imo.

She may have regrets about being a child soldier and you could argue for that given her personality (especially toward kids) but I don't see it as her main motivation to abandon her entire nation for it. That's a pretty huge decision to make. When Gast tried leaving, it was when he literally lost everything keeping him in that country (his sister).
