The logic escapes me, but maybe it's an elf thing. I kinda doubt cowards will not man up just because their charge got fucked for their cowardice, but well as stated perhaps Thalmor are shamed enough by that to lend them some courage next time. I doubt it though, they are 'ambush predators' preferring to strike unsuspecting targets avoiding prolonged battles where possible (or at least use allies to fight such).

Anyway, it appears our Princess is collecting quite the fan club. ^^

Just that Ayrana got the wrong ones in Thalmor guard.
She could have had brave, ruthless or normal guards but she had some slack.

After, yes. The Thalmor is well known for attacking the weak, ambushing or hiding behind a human shield.
The evidence is that they must have stolen a Daedric artifact and used it to win the Great War against the Empire.

That might indicate that a higher up in the Thalmor does not like Ayrana very much (probably he knows of her non-superior and hence kinda anti-Thalmor attitude) and thus used her visit to Skyrim to get rid of some of the more useless of his subordinates.

Without spoiler.
In the first chapter of his visit, you already have clues about this.
Not the prologue but chapter 1 of the official visit.

Nice! Really liking the "plot" lmao. Which outfit are you using? Can't seem to find one that accentuates the bust that well.
