Yes. The whole point is that Edelgard is fulfilling their interests when they're the ones responsible for ruining her life.

Okay on a macro level, Edelgard faults the church and Rhea for being just as guilty. Because Rhea's lie about where Crests come from is what created a world where people's obsession over Crests causes trauma like people selling their daughters or murdering whole families. Which isn't 100% wrong but 1. she can't lay noble psychos at the church's feet and 2. the game doesn't do enough to connect that to Edelgard's story. The Church HATES the Slitherers. The Slitherers have done more damage to Rhea than anyone else. If the Church knew what was happening in the Empire and where the Slitherers were, they would've mulched them the same day. But Edelgard devotes all of her energy into scrubbing the church off the face of the earth to the point of working with her family's killers to do it.

Now again, let's be fair to Edelgard. She and the Slitherers aren't friends. They just have like interests and are going to turn on each other after the war is over. Because Edelgard's goal is to end the shadow war between the Naabateans and Agarthans, since humans keep getting caught in the middle. But you can't blame people for getting mad at Edelgard. When she starts wagging her finger at Rhea doing bad things for the greater good as Edelgard herself does bad things for the greater good. Do those people she turned into Demonic Beasts know about the better world she's trying to make? Why didn't she tell Dimitri who murdered his family?
