It goes down a whole lot easier when you already know the person you're dealing with eats live puppy hearts for dessert.

This is assuming that Melty already has knowledge of how awful her sister is before all this. Other than Malty being a "problem child" since she was little, I didn't get the impression anybody knew how evil Malty/Myne is since she only acts like a cartoon villain when the Shield is involved.

And as far as the peasants' ability to come straight up to his castle, as Maximilian mentioned, it's a matter of how castles work. Generally speaking in feudal societies nobles don't have huge armies watching the entirety of their territory at all times. The vast majority of his military would likely either be in the castle itself or abroad serving the king or overlord. A sizable and well-organized army would be reported fairly quickly but not a moderate-sized band of commoners with pitchforks, and either way they'd most likely defend themselves from the well-fortified castle rather than risk men's lives in open battle.

Yeah, my knowledge of medieval fortifications is not that good, sorry!
