Her actions with Norathar's parentage could be seen as loyalty to the House of the Dragon, but considering her knowledge of Dragons, being that all her close friends are Dragons (that we know about anyways), she probably recognized that to undermine the Dragon Council would be seen as a mortal insult to the House.
