I wonder if it’s because she made the guard what it is by raising people above their normal rank and rewarding them, and considers them wholly loyal to herself. They were pretty much the only ones keeping her in power, and she doesn’t like the idea of giving up their support. But Gen sees such a large guard as dangerous to her because they could turn on her, though she doesn’t want to admit it? So far I don’t think we’ve seen her loyal guards or army betray her, but the barons do it all the time, so the army could be next.
As for why she’s personally angry at Gen, Attolia does seem to switch between supportive and angry at Gen a lot. Even though she wants him to take the Kingly role, maybe she struggles with actually giving up some power herself.
