[H5Y2] Is public opinion regarding Rozemyne and Ehrenfest actually very negative?

SpoilerLight Novel

Was thinking about this after this comment on the other thread.

All Duchies are very secretive, information mostly flows in the form of rumors and almost all biased to benefit some party or the other. Remember how after Rozemyne started frequenting the Royal Academy the public opinion as that she was being abused by Sylvester? So I was thinking, almost no one know what actually happened during the Lanzenave Invasion. Even the people how where there, even Rozemyne's Retainers have fragmented information because of all the secrets Rozemyne and Ferdinand kept from them. Imagine what how all the other Duchies must be trying to make sense from what happened?

Dunkelfelger involvement? Sure, they're the Zent's Sword, is expected. But what the heck was Ehrenfest doing there? The Country know that there was an invasion by Lanzenave, but the invasion failed. But somehow the Royal Family was deposed? How? Sure, that Rozemyne sure seems to be under the influence of some Divine Dower, but did they Divinities told her to Crown Eglantine? And wait! Ahrenbasch Archduchal Family was eliminated?! Except for Letizia that is not living in the Orphanage?!

Don't it all seems to you that Georgine may be seem by all the other Duchies as an victim of Sylvester's cruelty? Because Georgine was the one who spread many rumors about all the cruel things Sylvester was doing to Rozemyne and Ferdinand, she had already public denounced that Sylvester had killed his own uncle and imprisoned their mother. I wouldn't be surprised if some Duchies believe that this whole Lanzenave thing is a smoke screen, that Georgine went to Ehrenfest to save her mother, was cruelly killed and at the same time Sylvester plotted with Ferdinand and Rozemyne to steal his sister's Duchy and even detrone the Royal Family for trying to interfere with his cruelties.

What people think?
Anyone here believe we can still see some of this bad reputation Sylvester has reappearing in the story?
