Why she would though, who knows.problem is... both were pretty much looking for a place to die, as it felt like she knew she wasn't strong enough for him, but was satisfied to take him with her... while the shota was more erratic, he deserved more despair in death as he got defeated by a weaker opponent (on his eyes).
also, who helped the boy? because it wouldn't make sense if the assasin maid would have helped him.
