Maybe the girls are just jumping to conclusions and the Dark Guild "only" stole documents and other stuff from the castle while the real king is still at the party or asleep in his chambers.

What I don't understand is why that guy ever revealed himself to the girls. They didn't even notice his presence until he called out to them. If he had hidden himself he could either have avoided the confrontation alltogether or have the element of surprise if it became necessary to fight them. Or he could have just told them that this was a restricted area usually they would be imprisoned for being here, but due to liking Fairy Tail (or some other lie) he'll let them get off the hook if they left immediately. For a "researcher" this guy's pretty dumb.

I also can't help but wonder why Gray of all the present men would mind being peeped on. Most of the time he's down to his pants and sometimes even running around stark naked so why would he be the one to attack potential peepers (not to mention that he should already be used to being peeped on thanks to Juvia :P). It'd have been better to let anyone - literally ANYONE - else throw a spell.

I also agree absolutely about the sidelining of the other girls. Lucy fighting (and winning) by herself is awesome, but not in this situation. Erza could have defended this tight corridor all by herself with her Adamantine Armour (remember Jupiter in the Phantom Lord arc?) and with her water magic Juvia surely could have made a shield or something to do the same. That would have left the other two girls free to help Lucy. Wendy could have used support magic on Lucy and her Spirits without even moving an inch! And yet they just stood there and did nothing...

Overall this series seems to be a nice side-entertainment as long as you don't put too much thought into it. Nothing to get too attached to, but nice enough I suppose.

Though as you said the mangaka did manage to get the characters right if nothing else. I think you were neither too generous nor too harsh in your rating.
