--- End quote ---
Who -
The Carebears.
Why -
Because Mab wasn't loving enough...
What was their motivation? -
To break into the fairy network, stealing top information about the care share ray. Which Mab had been working on; to steal the feelings of all the worlds children.
What did they use? -
Hellfire, because Carebear's are generals of Lucifer. EVILbears... telling me how to feel, then using magic to change how I feel. EVIL, I tells ya.

Mab won't permit herself to appear weak to anyone, because her Ego is roughly the size of her Army.

See, I read that as never bending to care what anyone else thinks.

Mab doesn't "personally" care how people view her and her relative strength. She cares about it "professionally".
As the leader of Winter, the arbiter of the Accords, a literal force of nature unto herself, who has her entire Court in fear of her wrath if they step even the tiniest toe out of line: witness a single drop of blood on the floor drawing her up from her throne while the entire Court froze in place at the sure knowledge that this tiny transgression would bring swift and deadly retribution. With a single word she demanded her Knight freeze/shatter the bleeder. She didn't need to explain what was happening or her wishes. Everyone there KNEW that with Mab, the consequences are instantly lethal. And then she approved of her Knight freeze/shattering a court noble just to prove how powerful he was in Mab's service, and everyone would be reminded that Mab's right hand was going to be just as lethal.
These are not the actions of a monarch who is content to follow a path of "don't sweat the small stuff". If she is known for following up seemingly minor points of etiquette in her Court with instant lethality, there is no way whatsoever that she would allow herself to be seen as unwilling or unable to defeat an attack against her stronghold.
From a simply logical standpoint, if enemies of Mab are shown that they can attack Arctis Tor, and doing so can allow them to walk away, with something for their efforts in the form of whatever bargain was struck to entice them to walk away, then the attacks will occur more readily. She doesn't have time for such nonsense, so its better, logically, to act in such a way whenever an attack comes, that future attackers are given pause before attempting to do so. And Mab is all about logic. She's not about to act in such a way that more attacks will come, or that attackers who walk away after a bargain can take knowledge of her defenses and tactics away with them for further study. That would be akin to giving away information, and Mab gives nothing away.

Even though the context of the scene is Kringle warning she'd have killed Harry if anyone had seen him challenge her? And it was a warning that he should never challenge her pride?

Even so. Kringle is a trickster deity in disguise, remember ?
