Since when was "touching a reversed-scale" an idiom in Japan? That's new. I thought it just meant: "touching a weak spot".
Either way, "triggered his ""IMPERIAL WRATH""" seems real awkward, there's no such thing.
I think a better off translation overall, even if it loses its meaning (even though it already has), would've been: "Oh no, girl, you shouldn't have done that!" -- "done what?"
That being said,
It's funny how much sense the lil'drake guy makes. The ones who had everything to benefit from his defeat, actually turned against their benefactor because "muh traditions and hierarchy". It's a catch-22 existing solely because of tepid bureaucracy. So yeah, totally bring down that organization, it's worth shit.
p.s:

I am really trying not to think about that while I read the story...It is one of its most glaring faults, that don't make sense, and it'd take a miracle to ever make sense of. It is impossible to not realize an enormous change occurred in her, and NEVER be curious about it.
It makes some sense that it's never talked about, because maybe the author just wants to march on with the story, and not focus on "pointless things". But that'd make the two retainers truly pointless...Why even have them if they are "just there".
