Arya, what you're describing is sort of what I was hoping they would do with Shoko after episode 21. I was hoping the point of her character would be to take a bit of a dig at the "nice but objectively unqualified princess who comes to political power for a random reason and magically succeeds at everything" stereotype.
That's part of why I was so disappointed that we got nothing, to the point that the writers seem entirely unaware of not just this angle but the problems with her character in general.
