Some of my thoughts;  Although its a cliche, it could be due to her blood. Speculation of her being of royal breed and the reasons why there is still a monarchy in what seems to be quite a technological advanced country may be that there blood holds some sort of power/energy et cetra which can be channeled to use magic. Considering another cliche, its possible theirs a "traditional" school (as in discipline not an institution) of magic in the show which can use amulets, runes or such. My personal opinion is that rather then technology being the only factor involved in the "magic" (so someone who has a magic weapon cant just use magic by themselves) it would involve channeling some "inner energy" such as ki or "outer energy" into a object which would require training. By that logic, using small devices or a glove to use pseudo free form magic would be possible

But as to the presence of magic in general, maybe it will be like Toaru Majutsu no Indexwhere magic and science have been joined together. I think thats a bad example due to none of the characters actively using both magic and science as one. Unless they do so in NT4 or above.
