I get why some of the people here in the comments are disappointed with Camilla, but some of you are going too far. Wdym you don't feel bad that her stepdad and brother killed her now?
Right now, Camilla's only a student with no actual power/status for herself in their school. Even if she's the daughter of a duke, she'll be up against the student council president who also happens to be a daughter of a marquis (might not compare to a duke, but a very high status nevertheless). Camilla won't be able to stop this situation so easily without concrete evidence. Maybe if she tries to speak up, she could help her friend out once or a couple times. But who knows if they'll just start bullying Laila when Camilla's not around to protect her? Or Idk, it hasn't even been that long when Camilla herself was being ostracized by people. Do you really think the bullying would stop just because Camilla asks them to stop? Knowing the kind Laila, she'd probably not want Camilla to get involved and hurt because of her too. Besides, the target for bullying could just change to someone else. The cycle won't end and, like Camilla said, people would just brush the matter aside due to the bullies' high status.
If you have enough reading comprehension and common sense, you'd know it's not simply that Camilla's watching and waiting for the bullying to get worse before she takes action, she might be biding her time to collect the evidence needed to take down the student council to stop the bullying in its entirety. Even in the real world, just telling bullies to stop won't do anything. In fact, it could just make things worse. Like another comment here said, she's not a bystander. She's just not stupid nor reckless enough to do anything without any plans/evidence.
