Fundamentally, Renner simply hates the nobility and wants to see them all terrorized and killed in amusing ways. That was her reason for making obviously beneficial suggestions for the country but allowing the nobles to shoot most of them down through political manuevers. It's also why she prevented the King from following up on Ainz after learning about him from Gazef. She's working to ultimately bring about a civil war that will unleash the rage of the commoners against the nobles.

Zanac still doesn't quite get this. He thinks in terms of countries and political influence, and it is a shock to him to realize that having the personal loyalty of skilled warriors might matter more than connections to wealth and nominal authority. So he's only thinking about the most obvious aspects so far, that careful use of loyal military power can usurp or trump money and titles.

The thought that Renner would deliberately create a situation in which noble titles and money had no essential value at all hasn't crossed his mind, even though he should be aware of her motives for seeking such total destruction of the nobility.
