I understood it as this: The aristocracy believed that they could control Riliane if she was on the throne. Riliane was aware they wanted to use her to control the country. Riliane wanted to be like her mother, Anne, who was a strong ruler. When Riliane took the throne, she acted tyrannical to maintain a strong rule and not be used by the aristocracy who were her political enemies. Due to this, her actions and mentality was that she had to have her way no matter what or she would be turned into a political puppet unlike her predecessor. Her arrogance and vanity grew to a point where she caused more harm than good. As a result of considering everyone her enemy, she became disconnected from the common people and paranoid of everyones loyalty. Its kind of tragic how her environment turned her into a monster.
