It seemed like Moriarty wanted to kidnap the Queen, but that alone wasn't the full picture. The more I listened and pieced things together, the more it became obvious that this was something far more calculated. He wasn't just trying to take her. He wanted to shape a narrative as well as to push the idea that the Queen herself should carry the entire burden for the instability spreading throughout the kingdom.
The way it was being set up made it almost disgusting in how clean it looked. Everything pointed toward her becoming the perfect scapegoat. Someone to blame when people demanded answers. Someone to throw in front of the public so they could say, this is the reason everything went wrong.
And once that image settled in, once people started believing it without question, they would execute her in front of everyone. A public spectacle. A clean ending. A false sense of justice.
Julius even had the audacity to call it justice.
