You are right that he isn't loyal to the main character however, that doesn't make it not a betrayal. The first definition of betrayal that I found (that wasn't specifically talking about an entire country) says this: to deliver or expose to an enemy by treachery or disloyalty. He wasn't disloyal to her since he never was loyal to her, but he did betray her trust which is the definition of treachery. That she shouldn't have trusted him is immaterial. She did trust him, because the prince/king and Drake (and undoubtably Maxwell, too, but definitely the first two) trusted him. And it was absolutely a betrayal of their trusts, because he did have a loyalty to the prince/king and to Drake. That his loyalty was clearly stronger elsewhere didn't negate that. He hurt some of those to whom he was loyal by his actions of setting the main character up. It's certainly not the same as what Raydon did, no matter how things end out, but it is definitely still a betrayal the way I understand betrayals to be defined.
