The risk is from allying herself with Mikoshiba. Leaving him alone itself is a different threat. Mikoshiba is growing his country, and no one knows what his intentions nor his allegiances are. Having him as an ally or even just taking to him clears that threat, but would draw the ire of the nobles.

Even this logic is flimsy on her part. The black haired girl is literally hysterical. She’s afraid of losing her position to Ryoma as well as “keeping her majesty safe.” The nobles are openly antagonistic and have already plotted a coup de tat. Trying to earn their favor or avoid drawing their ire makes no sense since they’re already against her.

Ryoma and Elena are the only reasons her head isn’t on a pike. He’s shown no desire for power or corruption, so keeping him close and forming a wall around the throne would’ve been far more beneficial than virtually exiling him.

I can understand why the Queen chose this path. She knew that Ryouma is a great person who will achieve great things in the future. But she neither has the wits nor the power to control him. And given that they live in a world where an ally can turn into an enemy at any moment, leaving Ryouma unchecked can potentially come to bite her in the future. She knew she had to be wary of Ryouma which is why she is trying so hard to find a way to deal with him. But her way of doing things is completely wrong.

First of all, she needs to understand that she had just came out of a civil war. She won't be able to stabilize her country immediately no matter how hard she tried. So instead of rushing things, she should plan carefully and make her decisions only when she's think things through. As the saying goes, haste make waste. But she didn't plan things out. Instead, she tried to rid herself of her problems right away thinking that it will stabilize the country. This is what caused her to make the single most greatest mistake of her life.

The Queen's greatest mistake is sending Ryouma away. By sending Ryouma away, she allowed Ryouma to escape her survellience which can potentially be deadly in any numbers of ways. For starter, Ryouma can betray her without her knowing at all. He can secretly ally himself with an enemy state and plot to overthrow her and she wouldn't know anything about it. Or he can even sent assasins after her and she will have no clue it was him. As stated in the Art of War, keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Sending Ryouma away has now come to bite her more than ever. Cause now, he's become the greatest internal threat to her rule and she can't do anything about it because she sent him away.

What she should have done is kept Ryouma close. Give Ryouma lands that is under her control so she can see and watch what he's doing. This would have allowed her to make many choices that she couldn't compare to when she sent him a way. For starters, she can try to win his trust. She can try to sway him with sentimentality. And if that doesn't work, she is an unmarried woman. She could have easily secretly offered him a marriage proposal to see if that will sway his loyalty to her. And if that doesn't work then she can always find a way to eliminate him later.

If he choose to strengthen himself, she can simply sent him on expeditions to squander his resources and create laws to hinder his growth. And nobody is perfect, sooner or later, Ryouma is going to mess up. Which will give the perfect excuse for the Queen to execute him. For example, the salt mine in Wortenia. If the Queen knew of this, she could have easily put the blame on Ryouma saying that he purposely kept the salt mine a secret for his own gain and execute him as a punishment for treason. But because she sent him away, she has no clue how to deal with him.

The issue here is trust. The Queen doesn't know Ryouma very well as a person. All she knows is Ryouma as a warrior and a tactitian. And from his actions, she can tell that Ryouma is ruthless and supremely cunning. More so than her or anyone else. You can tell what she fears the most when it comes to Ryouma. She fears that Ryouma is going to overthrow her. After all, Ryouma is the hero who saved the country. If she let Ryouma stays inside the court, he can easily sway the public and win the heart of the people. Not to mention that he already have two of the most powerful nobles on his side. Couple with his ability in the battlefield along with his capabilities to train armies and win wars, he is a beast that she cannot control. Which was why she send him away, thinking that the problem will go away once she does. This goes to show just how childish and naive her way of thinking is. She is clearly unfit to rule and will be overthrown sooner or later.
