Second to that, she will do what she's ordered to do, as long as her command word is in it. Without the command, she might resist orders she's been trained to have an objection to the execution or outcome of. It is possible she might become villainous, by some definitions, in her attempts to protect or defend Noctis, in certain situations, because he is her first priority.

Go clothes shopping, first. Not that she ever has to worry about money, but she's a very unusual size and her joints bend somewhat abnormally, so she likes to give her tailor and His Excellency's jeweller hefty bonuses. And this way, she doesn't have to justify it in the budget. Probably another six pairs of shoes, because she broke another heel kicking an assassin's ass. Maybe a few more things in her colours, rather than the colours of her employer's House (which he pays for anyway). Possibly a large party or two, of the hotel ballroom size, with exotic foods for her guests (because she doesn't need to eat). She's absolutely not going to do anything serious with it. If it was serious, His Excellency would pay for it and it would be a lot more than a million.
