Well, all we can assume that they really know of their relationship was that Rou and his band are hired mercenaries. I don't think they know just how deeply Parabellum has established itself within the kingdom, plus as with the Greed, it's known that the World Enemy can become a parasite and ruin a kingdom from the inside. I mean, the Merchant Lord Rou summoned up was planning on taking over the kingdom's entire economy, remember? Rou vetoed that idea, as he considered Tomboy Princess a friend (niece), but he allowed it for other kingdoms.

Of course, I doubt he intends to ruin the finances of other countries even if he does end up taking over their economies, but he'd be capable of ordering it. Rou's grown so powerful that he can destroy a country in a number of ways all by himself. But I digress, the point I'm making is that the Holy Kingdom probably doesn't see any dilemma in asking the Sternbild Kingdom to help in defeating Rou. Any refusal to help may be taken as a sign that the kingdom's leaders have had their wills seized away from them, like the Greed did, and war may be declared on them to at least save the people of the kingdom from a tragedy.
