miquella has more than one plan brewing, ranni didn't do it in pursuit of godhood and didn't do it in an obverse shadow dimension where some things work differently, malenia is waiting for miquella to come back, may or may not have been charmed, and most likely isn't fully informed on miquella's plans

"miquella withheld information" and "miquella charmed pretty much everyone around him" are both equally likely and probably simultaneous answers to anything surrounding him because whoops it's another griffith reference and you'll never guess what griffith liked doing through all of berserk

characters withholding information or using manipulative powers is not bad writing, characters not knowing everything is not bad writing, you're just tattling on yourself
