Usually in these stories they try to push the narrative "The heroine is now the prince's fiance, which makes the villainess more lower-standing than the person she bullied.
Which in it's own way is kinda ridiculous, since usually the villainess is a duke's daughter who literally is on top of the aristocracy. She should get punished, sure, but banishing the villainess is generally just stupid and used as an "satisfying way to end without bloodshed" in otome games. 💀
