Arabella explained what she heard to Alwin and Ferdinand.
She understood how the two mothers felt, wanting to protect their children at all cost regardless of what they become, however, punishing someone else for a crime is different.
After listening to their thoughts, Arabella learned that only Eugene's mother tried to stop him.
The other family members did nothing since they were thinking of benefits they could gain from it.
Lord Hamel was hoping Eugene would succeed so they would finally be free of the Former Marquess who was too prideful and stopped listening to his vassals.
Lady Hamel was hoping Eugene would fail miserably and have himself caught and executed so her son would be the only heir of House Hamel.
Eugene's elder brother, just like his mother, believed that Eugene would fail miserably and hoped that he would so his mother would stop nagging at him to ensure he was always better than Eugene at every little thing.
