Well none of the guards know any Arisen lore. They've had security in the belief that Edmun killed the Dragon and is rightful duke for decades. And even if you're genuine you're the newbie and they'll be more inclined to listen to whom they've been listening to for decades.

Not to mention it's pretty easy to find evil in the post-game world. The sky is a sootish color, the monster problem is even worse than before, and The Everfall's opening destroyed a third of the town and killed half the Gran Soren population (personally their fucking fault for building their city on top of The Everfall, but whatever). Almost everyone expected after defeating the Dragon the world would become Heaven with golden roads and rainbows and shit so it's understandable to believe that you didn't kill the Dragon since the aftermath is the exact opposite.

Even though that doesn't excuse the Arisen from remaining silent, if the Arisen said something it wouldn't have helped, they'd probably accuse you of heresy since this is DD's Inquisition times (hence Selene and The Witch lore) and they'd be afraid of what you'd tell them.

In my opinion I like this ending, but I'd be happy with a few DLC quests to expand this questline, like the Arisen going to trial and everyone who you've earned high affinity with in the game vouching and testifying for you (to validate all the work you did getting people to like you) or something like that.
