Well she did kinda set a whole building full of people and children on fire?? And didn’t take into account that the handles would get too hot for them to leave? If our girl hadn’t found the secret entrance they all could have burned to death.
Not a lot of mercy for someone who does that even if you ignore the whole trying to murder a royal ( or kidnapped ) child in front of an audience and blame another child for it thing.
If her plan HAD worked 2 children would have been lost.

Yes, u are right
That why I told, I don't justify what the maid did was right. Jer thought just full on revenge
The queen should at least say " I know you're hurting,I'm sorry, take her away"
IRL, most richest and powerful, will always get away with anything, that why the less fortunate will go this route (not supporting their action) but understand why it leads to that way
In conclusion, this chp really touches heavy subjects and never sees all the forums talk about this
I don't justify what the maid doing is right
But the queen should at least show some mercy or apologize.
The queen just sweeeeppp and brush like nothing happened.
Be understanding from the maid pov
