Hello, It seems that the attempted assasination on the Planet of Uruwach(?) was not due to Reuental. So why didn't he make it clear to the Kaiser? It's not "begging for forgiveness". Clearly he let the lust for power dominated himself. It's not true that "almost everyone had turned against him" before he mobilized his troops. Maybe Ranke and Oberstein were. Ranke was always against him. Oberstein was always against everyone. Yet Mittermeier's friendship with him was a shield big enough against these two. Why didn't he trust his life-long friend?
