Noooooot...really? I think it has mostly to do with the fact that she doesn't really view something like a True Rune as something you "inherit". The True Fire Rune needed to be claimed, and if doing that would secure a future for Zexen and the Grasslands beyond becoming absorbed into Harmonia as, at best second or third-class citizens, Chris was willing to step up and do what needed to be done. Besides, she still got to say goodbye to Wyatt and resolve things with Yun a little in the vision she did have right before the True Water Rune went to Hugo, so she still got the closure she needed on those fronts. She doesn't regret the decision, and is fairly at peace with it.

(As an aside, I started thumbing through my first volume of the manga for the first time in ages and I remembered not liking how they handled Chris and now I remember why. Good god they do a number on her; even the other Great Knights can't resist throwing some casual sexism her way, yeesh. All Manga!Chris needs is a schoolgirl outfit and someone walking away from her in slow motion while cherry blossoms float past on the breeze to complete the trope, y'know?)

Yeah, I thought it was weird how they switch around Chris' promotion to leader of the Knights to happening before the peace treaty collapses (which seems to consist of just Chris and Lucia going "So we cool now?" at each other. And then they're not).

Haha, right? There are certainly elements to the manga I find useful and wanna incorporate into her story here (like squiring for Galahad for one thing), but I'm more than happy to say she didn't nearly collapse into a weeping pile that needed Salome to snap her out of it in the middle of a battlefield. XD
