Yeah, then the queen will commit suicide because of the guilt.

Someone should assassinate her instead

also being a noble is a pain having to pledge loyalty to a country as strong as he is so he wants her to do it and get the letter increase instead of him since he is still low level and could (theoretically) be beat by a group of assassins from the organization who's guy he killed since he is powerful against a monster he one shotted 100 times but not as good against trained assassins. also the parts the guys above me mentioned in greater detail.
