I know it was pointed in a bittersweet light, but this chapter really showcased the hypocrisy of Xevoltz. Trying to act pure and not using the system of the overbearing against them is part of the reason why evil systems almost always last longer - because moral systems give themselves disadvantages.

They claim to have a bloodless revolution, only to happily spill the blood of their own. That's utterly disgusting to me from an ideological perspective.

I think by "bloodless", they mean without intentionally murdering others. Like, if a father sacrifices himself out of his own volition (mind you he isn't even part of Xevoltz, his daughter is), the daughter nor the group murdered him, it was Great who was going out of his way to execute his daughter regardless. Ideologically, it's still solid imo.
Objectively, it's evil to punish a petty thief & a genocidal murderer with the exact same extreme/sentence: death. The only real thing upkeeping Graymark's rule, is Great and his physical power. Systems don't survive based on morality, they survive based on order and how much power its rulers & peoples wield. Those systems only fail once those powers can no longer be put under check, and a new system is put in place based on the power that rules it.
