The noble wanted them captured as hostages for some reason. It was the commoners who ended up killing.
Well, technically, the lethal wounds were inflicted by knives, not the commoner's bodies, therefore it would be more logical to blame the weapons themselves and start a crusade against cutlery.
Sarcasm aside, from everything we know about Aurora-Lapis, she is smart enough to understand that murders of her adopted family were caused by noble scheming, not by anti-noble prejudice, even if the murderers were bigots and highly incompetent kidnappers, to boot. If she is as smart as I think she is, her rage should be directed at their employer who had hired goons with zero discipline for such a sensitive mission. So either she is more blinded by her emotions than I think, or there is more to her plans than she had revealed even to Natori.
