Actually, her knowing the truth would not guarantee her safety, and in fact there actually is the likely possibility that exposing the truth to her would actually make things even worse. Don't forget, Sephiroth, when he was told the truth by Genesis about his origins, practically went completely bonkets and massacred Nibelheim in Crisis Core. There's also what happened with Terra when the truth was exposed to her about her beating up Onion Knight due to losing control of her powers in Dissidia Final Fantasy (she actually nearly relapsed, and it had to take Cloud Strife beating some sense into her to actually regain some control of her powers). Heck, Joker's ace in the hole actually hinged on people knowing the truth about Harvey Dent. Heck, do I really need to point out what happened when Belle exposed the truth about the Beast? It resulted in a village mob going to the castle and trying to kill him and his servants. That's actually a good example of how telling the truth actually makes a situation even WORSE than if the truth was hidden.
