Remedios' accusations were indeed baseless. From Holy Kingdom's point of view, the following happened:

They were attacked by an extremely powerful demon and his armies of demihumans. He succesfully subjugated half the country. No other country or their nobles were willing to give them support. Then the king of another nation promisses to kill the demon pretty much for free. After that he libirates demihuman concentration camps, reclaims a conquered city for them, defends said city against an army they had no chances of winning against, saves a clearly hostile captain of the warrior order dedicated to destroying his kind, fights the demon despite the fact that he was drained of most of his power, almost dies, incapacitates the fiend in the process, allowing them to reclaim another city and then. After recovering, finishes off the demon. Then, he peacefully returns home, asking, essentially, NOTHING for his service.

Now, what part of this implies that Sorcerer King was in cahoots with Jaldabaoth? Why would he do any of that? None of that benefited him in any tangible way. If he was Jaldabaoth's ally, it would make much more sense to assist the demon and claim the Holy kingdom's territories as his own or make it a vassal state ruled by Jaldabaoth. If he wasn't Jaldabaoth's ally, it would also make more sense to wait for him to completely subjugate the Holy Kingdom, and then take over by killing him. It wouldn't be too hard, it's a known fact that demihumans would very likely follow the most powerful leader and there probably isn't anyone with more power than Sorcerer King.

The only explanation Remedios is capable of providing is something along the lines of "Sorcerer King is an undead, all undead are evil, Jaldabaoth is evil, therefore they are allies!".
