Relocating the capital had been an important means for rulers to resolve political problems since ancient times. That had been Evenson's advice to Frigga. Joining forces with Ronan to conquer Xandar had merely been part of the process serving that goal.
This gave Frigga a way out. The conservative nobles of Asgard were dissatisfied with Frigga's rule, and Frigga did not think much of them either. From now on, she would take her own subjects and live in Xandar. Those nobles could stay in Asgard and wait for her eldest daughter to emerge.
Frigga knew full well that Hela's rule would be even harsher than her own. After all, Hela's subjects did not necessarily have to be living people!
Moreover, Xandar was new territory conquered by Frigga herself and had nothing to do with the old kingdom. Once Hela became Queen of Asgard and saw her mother settled here in peace, with the throne left vacant for her, she would surely acknowledge Frigga's honored position.
And even if things came to the worst, if Asgard truly ended up submerged in a sea of fire as Frigga had foreseen, the bloodline of the Asgardians and the royal succession could continue on Xandar.
Therefore, once Frigga returned, she would likely begin preparations to relocate the capital at once.

Besides, even if the position remained, it would not be a good posting. A county magistrate stationed
