2. He didn't have a choice. The other nobles that know about the Reiss family's true heritage didn't know that they lost the Coordinate to someone else. All they knew was that he had an illegitimate child, and they wanted her and her mother gone. Sending her to the Survey Corps was his only chance to keep her alive. As it meant she wouldn't die right then and there, but her chances of dying on an expedition were still high enough to appease the nobles. That's why he sets up the plan to kidnap her, but I guess he needed to wait until they knew where the Coordinate was first.

Hold on... Reiss, the true King, was also a puppet of the nobles? I thought he was the head of them! Why? And what to they want? Do they also know about the Coordinate that must be passed along? If they do, they would never have accepted to send Historia to the Corps!
