I don't think that there is a way for the situation to make sense, because it never made sense. Danica just got the murder priestess and dropped her somewhere. It looks like the plan always was to give her to the boss, which meant that she would certainly be tortured until death. This is incredibly callous, and was in no way necessary. But then she decides that she's a force of light. She shows no guilt. It was someone else's fault that bad things happened.
