Somehow uncovered, Adalrich's plan to wreak havoc. This plan has been kept secret. It should be. His trusted subordinates were also dead. So someone leaked this to the nobles and emperors.
No one knows who reported it. But the nobles urged the emperor to punish the Schafer family immediately. They pressured the emperor to immediately put the Schafer family on the traitor list and freeze all their assets and activities.
Luckily the emperor was wiser than King Leonidas. He had learned of the nobles' true intentions and tried to buy time by forming an investigative team investigating the events in the Schafer territory.
What's worse, the nobles and officials blamed all the mistakes made by Adalrich on Agatha. As usual, they needed a scapegoat to profit from this event.
