This scenario filled with politics and "cunning plots" reeks of plot armor, no Lord will realistically waste their time on this. They'd just kill them under some fake pretense for the same result.
I didn't think it was enough to justify it at the time; frankly I still don't agree entirely. As the story progressed I reconciled with the fact that some things are done for the sake of the story and aren't always the most logical to me.
