The DRK storyline

[Belhi]

It would be very strange to confront a monarch with armed guards in her own sanctum where there were no other guards. So many red flags would have been raised by even a semi-competent guard force. In the medieval ages it would be game over at that point unless the Sultana could rely on a successful rescue attempt.

Its not the middle ages and Nanamo doesn't have much more power than Teledji already had if she had more at all. Practically speaking, Nanamo almost a puppet ruler for the Syndicate already. She has had to work damn hard to grow her influence and the whole point of her plan was to depower the Syndicate as it was the only path she saw open to her.

Honestly it might have been a bit odd but it would have been moronic for Teledji to actually threaten or harm the Sultana. It would basically cost him his own position. Frankly, prior to this the Syndicate could already overrule anything Nanamo wanted to do so there would be little to no value in doing so. People wouldn't be worried about it because it would make no sense to do. Plus, Teledji always has his bodyguards with him and any breach of decorum would have been overlooked in the face of the WoL having murdered Nanamo.

There probably would have been consequences for the Sultansworn if the events ever went public. However, for the most part, the public was told she was just unwell. Lolorito wanted to maintain the status quo, not rock the boat even more.
