Many nobles were arrested. But there was a problem.
According to imperial law, if even a servant was arrested for crimes, the master had to bear some responsibility. And Raphael, as an imperial consort married to the Empress, was technically under her authority.
So Heena, as the ruler of the empire and master of all, had to accept some public scrutiny for her connection to the Church through her marriage.
Taking down the Church was like disturbing a beehive with bare hands. Heena had done it—captured many corrupt officials, exposed the conspiracy.
But the problem was the *believers*.
People who followed corrupt leaders could have their faith broken by exposing those leaders as frauds.
But people who believed in 'God' itself? Even if they died, they would not stop believing. And many saw Heena's attack on the Church as an attack on their faith itself.
