Normies in this world that possess no power are completely reliant on their feudal lords for protection. The villagers are basically Roswaal's serfs - and if some wizard or swordsman of moderate power decides to, they can easily slaughter those people.
But it's not like the village is being guarded 24/7. It's only protected by the pretense that there's no reason to attack it, and that any attackers would suffer retribution from Roswaal. None of that matters if the witch's cult is brought in, though.
So in a way, yes, their lord taking in Emilia completely violates any bond of trust they used to have. The villagers were cut off and left to die in favor of Emilia. That's their reality, but yes, they're "victim blaming", lol.
