 * 1.1 Not to mention the idea of Cinder learning about the power from anyone other than Salem is illogical...

2. While we have no idea how she was trained, Lionheart said she ran off from the pressure of being a Maiden....

3. This is under the assumption Lionheart even knows who Amber is.... 1. That is also a fair assumption, tbh I'm kinda shakey on her class...because Cinder seems entirely too "entitled" to the maiden powers... she doesn't appear to just have wanted them, but to have felt they were hers before she took them.

1.1.... like the Ozluminati told Jaune? they may be a conspiracy, but they don't seem to kill people to protect the secret, and it makes no sense to not tell your powers inheritor to keep it quiet, better you tell 1-2 people to keep it quiet than 50 people see them literally blow shit up with abilities they don't know they have... and random transfers will have their leaks, it's just a matter of damage control at that point.

2. and Lionheart was known to be lying in that conversation... anything he said that cannot be easily verified is suspect, including his treatment of the maiden. Protecting her secret meant limiting herself, like Dash in the Incredibles, Raven is about survival of the fittest... if the fittest can raze a village and chooses to do so Raven won't give a fuck, just so long as Spring cleans her own mess and is useful, keeping her secret an organization would care about that crap.

3. Lionheart is searching for a force of nature that could die at any time and reincarnate across the world... he'd need to know the approximates of where the others are to search for her.
