Yeah, she doesn't have a whole lot of time left, since Atlas is onto her. He's sickly, but he's an experienced king, since he took over way more responsibilities than Cas did when he was the crown prince decades ago. Cas thinks he's paranoid, but it's because he's too trusting in a world where more people are against the royal family than for it ^^; He doesn't yet have the experience to discern between when he should be kind or cunning in the world of the upper class either. It's about to be a very steep learning curve for him when he experiences betrayal for the first time.
