Even if she needed to gather the Elemental Keystones, which are only found on the World Tree, there was no need to hand the Eye of Light over to an outsider, causing all the Elemental Keystones to be exposed to the world.
She could have operated in secret; there was no need to be so ostentatious, increasing everyone's tension.
