Ironically, it would make sense for Arika to be perfectly calm about this all too.
If she can use magic in the dead zone, she can save herself. Nagi trying to save her would get him killed and be unnecessary, plus it would be for her sake
when she'd rather he rescue the people in the aftermath of the war. She couldn't risk telling anyone because she couldn't know who she could
trust(given how quickly she's deposed in the aftermath, she must have suspected a follow up conspiracy).
And to boot, it allows her to shed her role as queen, help guarantee world peace, and be with Nagi, just the two of them, while also evading any enemies.
Because they all know she's dead. Because No One Could Survive That.

waste."
