I agree. And they're in the ... middle ages, right? Or somewhere there. Gwen is Queen, and for all she knows her husband and friend are dead, and it's because her maid, Sefa, betrayed them. She can't say, "Oh ... Yeah I accept the apology," and then let it go. In her mind, her husband, the King may be dead, and it's all Sefa's fault.

And she has to be strong and prove herself to the Court, since she's a commoner Queen. All right, she said the same thing like Uther did, when he sentenced her, but the difference was that Uther didn't care about if she was innocent or not. Sefa admitted to the Court that she had betrayed them, first then Gwen sentenced her. Gwen had noticed Sefa going out in the night, and then being all nervous the next day.

So I can't blame her for doing it, and by the way we don't know if she changes it to banishment or something in the next episode. The girl isn't dead yet. Some have the theory that Merlin will save her, but I can't see that, especially since it endangered Arthur's life. And as Ruadan's daughter, they will never be able to trust her again, especially since she already betrayed them once.
