There's nothing really wrong with what she says. It's a bit poorly worded, but the true meaning can be figured out.
"I didn't survive the fight against Baltor because I managed to escape. My friends were fighting to protect the queen and I just froze with fear."
She's not saying she didn't survive. She's saying the reason she survived isn't because she managed to escape. It's because she froze and didn't fight. It would be better said "I didn't survive the fight against Baltor because I managed to escape, but because while my friends were fighting, I froze with fear." That's what she means.
