No, you're right: I'm sure she would hardly weep if Black and his associates murdered Lucius in some travesty of imaginary justice. I wouldn't have been surprised if she were trying to winkle out a confirmation that Our Lord was displeased with Lucius for defending himself against her son, or anything that suggested I might be less than perfectly loyal. That's just where I thought she was going, at first. This was ... something else.
You don't think it's that she's actually a traitor, herself, do you? That would be too much to hope!
