Henkyou Mobu Kizoku no Uchi ni Totsuidekita Akuyaku Reijou ga, Mechakucha Dekiru Ii Yome nandaga? - Vol. 3 Ch. 13

...Apparently, a lot of you who think "Oh, where did these Goons come from, why is Ragna beating up Nobodies!?", miss the fact that it happened, because Patricia was the one who set it up.

She had the Prince kiss Alicia's hand, to try and provoke Ragna into punching him, which, because he's The Prince, and even if in disguise with Ragna being unaware, it would have gotten Ragna charged for a crime, despite The Prince provoking the whole engagement, since if you didn't notice, Alicia was a disgraced Noble, Ragna's a "backwoods" Noble, and Mariana's a "Commoner", so to the royal courts, NONE of their words carry any real meaning, especially since there aren't any "Elligable witnesses".

The Goons on the train were there to delay Ragna, so that The Prince's Entourage can sneak into the Cabin while Ragna's delayed. It is pretty clear they were supposed to make it sound like Alicia was Disloyal to Ragna, to make him a jealous idiot... But Ragna turned out to be a lot stronger than expected, and he returned to the cabin right after the Entourage got into it, foiling their attempt to make Alicia seem disloyal.

And before anyone else throws a hissy fit about it, this entire scheme was thought up by Patricia. If it SEEMS petty, because it IS Petty! Patricia IS that kind of Petty schemer who would provoke arguments and then play the victim afterwards, and a LOT of them exist in real life!

Yeah no I'd lock her up in a dungeon for her own sake to keep away all the creepy yucky people who want to bring harm upon her

hmmm, it's been awhile since I read the WN so I might be misremembering some things but it feels like the frustration with the prince and Patricia from some is a bit excessive considering were they went with their character development and reveals. I actually remember finding the prince quite likable once he enters his permanently bald goofball arc. I also remember Patricia's goals being an interesting twist in the story and surprisingly respectable.

Someone should tell authors that when you show the MC not taking any action against actual threats despite being provoked endlessly, showing him beet up bunch of nobodies just frustrates the readers even more.

To be fair the Actions he can make is rather limited. He is not a Noble of great influence (as seen in the early chapters) so he can't scheme against her because her "Harem" outpower him socially and violence is out because, as currently not misdeeds can oficially be attributed to her, he would simply be some aggressor. Could even backfire more and might even make his Wife's position worse as he is the Husband of the one that "bullied the antagonist before".
He is already doing what he can, trying to gather information and making sure to take a close look at her actions but currently he is in the weaker position. For now. People like that Girl tend to make mistakes sooner or later.

All he has to do is kill them all and dump their bodies before they reach his territory. Not his problem anymore if that happens
