...In all fairness, this is a big event for the Empire as a whole. It's a direct command from the Emperor meant to shame the rebellious nobles that as far as he is concerned, killed the shit out of his son with shivs. Additionally, a large portion of the powerful nobility from the city is present, which means a high guard-count. ...Compared to one person with a crossbow. Something tells me the event is nowhere near over.
