Why I think it was set up by Ruth best friend whose fiance ail took, cuz in the latest raws when Ruth was injured and ail left with ruth's horse it was best friend who come to save him.
Does he have the power to do so though? Unless, he has someone backing him?
Anyway, I would be very shocked if it's Luce's friend, Elsen.
Or may be ruth family behind it ail is not trusting anyone so easily especially having someone from a family who wants him dead.
I think the attack was set up by the Kaisel family so that the prince Ayle/Ail start trusting his kinght commander Luce/Ruth Kaisel. If the family really wanted to kill Aule, this set up was too obvious, and they wouldn't have let Luce get in the way. Not because they want to protect Luce, but to prevent him saving the prince, because even though Luce didn't earn his new position by his own merit, he still has some skills as a knight.
Later on, when the Kaisel family will have made cynical Ayle lower his guard in front of sweet, earnest Luce, I think the family will threaten Luce's mom's life so that Luce kill the prince, or they are going to use Luce without him knowing to kill (probably with poison) Ayle.
