That gambit might have had a different effect on a Peranza who hadn't spent the last weeks rather deeply immersed in a Conspiracy desperately trying to keep a true dath ilani deluded, being warned over and over of Asmodia of how Keltham might apply the Law of Filtered Evidence.

Would there be a prior possibility, of significant probability, that next Peranza would be taken deeper into Hell as she was promised?  Of course, a pretty large one but she was previously being hurt and being told that pain is inescapable, that this was an important lesson to her.  When she was first cast into the Countess's dwelling, as an important Project Lawful girl, she was dragged through walls of flame.  Since the Countess returned from her brief absence, she hasn't been hurt at all.

Would there be a prior possibility that they'd try to raise Peranza's hopes only to cast her down?  Think about what this possibility would predict, before you'd seen any particular observations that purportedly result.  They could tell her some lie about her rescue, if they wanted to produce that result, Peranza would have believed it and probably without question in her state of desperation and hope.  Or if they didn't want to lie, they could escort her through relatively peaceful and well-appointed pathways of Hell, guarded by Resistance, visibly protected.

Telling her nothing, taking her someplace that looks terrifying, while not hurting her, sounds a lot more like they're not allowed to lie and aren't allowed to hurt her and are hoping she makes mistakes on her own.
