The idea behind Isabelle's role is that, to someone looking for potential guards, an unhealthy-looking girl who's got her hands full with her own family problems is going to be an unlikely candidate. Nobody would suspect the country count daughter's whipping girl to be secretly employed by the crown.

Isabelle's role is to distract everyone else, not Monica.

So...Louis is a piece of shit, isn't he? Dude abused his authority and pressured a minor with social phobias into doing something she really doesn't want to do. She also has no obligation to do this. He came to her with a favor, not an order. He's also the one tasked with protecting the prince, so if something happens, the one who would be executed would be him, not her. She also clearly doesn't care about her position as one of the seven sages, so there wouldn't be any point in disparaging her for not accomplishing much. This dude totally just bullied and pushed his job onto an innocent young girl. F*** him.

I know that they have to get the plot moving somehow, but I wish it could be done without making an absolute piece of shit character that's not going to receive any comeuppance for his actions.

Oh, he's also an idiot. The point is to make her not stand out at this school, so why would you make her pretend to be actively bullied by someone so conspicuous? That's only going to draw more attention to her rather than being a wallflower that nobody pays attention to.
