Your analysis was quite on point, check the next chapter for confirmation xD.There is one other thing to keep in mind.
In settings like these, betraying the people you're currently with can lead to you being impaled on a spear belonging to the next guy you try and get close with. This is because once it's known that you'll betray whoever your with the moment something better comes along, then at most you're only safe so long as you're useful. You'll wind up spending the rest of your life watching for the poisoned daggers in the shadows.
And she doesn't strike me as being dumb enough to do that.
Granted, you can say that she is betraying the Empire by switching sides here... But I'm sure that other governments on the outside know what the deal is - that they're basically mass-summoning Heroes to do their dirty work for them. And that's good enough reason to jump ship at the first opportunity.
Besides, with how much of an underdog position the MC and his group is in (even with his cheat abilities), even another country that's on the verge of collapse is better, because at least they're still a country.
I have a feeling that she's gonna stick around. Even if she is a sociopath. Because if there's one thing sociopaths love more than anything else? It's taking big gambles.
Well, that, and also having a nice group of "friends" to "play" with. Not necessarily a bad thing, either, since some sociopaths see being a part of a circle of friends as having a garden that they tend to. It's a very pleasing thing to see your plants (friends) thriving and growing beautifully under your care. And a gardener will definitely want to keep any harmful weeds (Miyamoto) or vermin (Onizuka) out of her garden.
