Considering all the reasons above, Baldwin seems to see an unseen storm gathering within the Nordtof Domain, and the outcome of this storm is difficult to predict. But it's certain that Her Majesty the Queen is no longer content with sharing power with her right-hand men.
The General also realizes that the Queen's redeployment of him is not an alienation.
On the contrary, it's a form of protection; she clearly does not wish for General Baldwin to be tainted in the inevitably fierce upcoming turbulence.
"Sir Baldwin, I must confess, I've always had a question."
The Lupa's sudden query at the moment makes the victorious General instinctively grip the reins. Before he can respond, Queen Angelina seems to have detected some concern in Baldwin's heart, she softly asks:
"Do you think I can become a leader comparable to the Hero King?"
"Of course, Your Majesty."
"Then, are you willing to offer your loyalty to such a queen whom you believe is destined to achieve greatness?"
