Other than that, the season is pretty solid so far. Not a "dying horse" by any measure.
What makes you think people won't know if a nobleman is killed? And how is it in any way "leaning into" it to make an example of those that continue the practice? If anything, it's probably the most effective and fitting deterrent to make it clear that if you ignore the Queen's orders and try to enslave citizens from his territory, he will himself ignore those rules and sell them as slaves to people that will treat them the way they'd have treated his citizens.
