Pathos is an appeal to emotion, especially emotions of pity or sadness.

The phrases that best appeal to the emotion of the men before her are "my faithful and loving people" and "the loyal hearts and good will of my subjects."

With these phrases, she is appealing to their emotions by describing her subjects as faithful, loving, loyal, and good. If they were experiencing feelings of doubt about her leadership, these words would make them think twice about disloyalty.
