Trystan Thorne
According to Marguerite, Queen Viktoria believes that Trystan is responsible for Juliana's death. When Trystan is stabbed during Sonja's murder investigation, Viktoria wanted to get updates on the case, because she was inconvenienced by the scandal, and because she believed that Trystan's actions reflect poorly on the family and on Drakovia. She also requested Trystan to return to Drakovia, but when that failed, she sent Lydea and her agents in Book 2, Chapter 2, to arrest Trystan.
