I wouldn’t be surprised if that had happened. It’s also possible that the sheer chaos of the event and the plausibility that Cuy and Royce had chosen Stannis in the heat of the moment, that people think of the killing as a skirmish in a broader war, and thus covered under the laws and customs of war.
In regards to Loras Tyrell cutting down Emmon Cuy and Robar Royce in his wrath after Renly’s assassination; We don’t hear about any sort of reprisals or even a word of complaint from the Houses Cuy and Royce, to my knowledge. They both seem to be small houses, though Royce is an old one. Could Loras/Mace have paid quiet restitution behind the scenes, or could the chaos of the event given Loras cover to execute two guards that failed to protect their king?
