She says it herself at the start of the serialized verison, but Natalia really should not be ruling. Snake Princess has a point that someone in a position of power needs to be a little cruel and calculating to balance all their responsibilities. Knights put their lives on the line because, as cold-hearted as it might sound, they're replaceable in service of a greater cause.

She has no sense of self-preservation and admits she'd rather sacrifice herself than bear the guilt of failure. (Almost like a certain nun.)
I could see a lot of this conversation making it to the serialized version.
