I feel like all of the good things currently falling into his lap are more of an apology from God than a proof of love.
"Sorry I let all of your loved ones get massacred, here are some free tigers"
Different kingdom, different rules?What happened to the first 10th chapter man?

are you shitting me? that's the punishment? the old one is "forced" to retire and go relax at some warm sunny place while the other 2 have to do paperwork? they committed treason, tried to murder and steal the land of the king's brother-in-law. expect more of this in the future, no one is gonna be scared of taking actions against MC now.
Your honor, as punishment for my crimes of treason, attempted murder of a fellow noble and a royal princess (I don't think it was explicitly stated, but what else could they have done with his wives? The princess seems to be a big hole in their plan and the story they intended to make up in the first place) and whatever other crimes lying to the army commander to raise armed forces for an uprising constitute to, I'd please like permanent retirement to a tropical spa resort and I promise to be super regretful about it.
Seriously what has the author been smoking?
Also the king shouldn't be so down about having to find successors, that'd be where you say "Good riddance!" These guys have been proving their incompetence as rulers before MC arrived in Krumfal.

The light punishment sounds stupid as fuck, but it's something that has happened many times in history. Only to be proceeded by them coming back into power and committing decades of the worst atrocities known to mankind.

I know I'm getting into a hornet's nest with this one and I agree the punishments are too light for what they did and intended to do, but we're forgetting several circumstances surrounding it:
- The battle was relatively bloodless. Sure, there were a lot of wounded, but nobody actually died. The loss on both army and Krumfal was negligible, if that. Were the fighting become a bloodbath, with hundreds of dead and wounded on each side you can bet those three wouldn't be breathing right now.
- Their objective was actually "just" the murder of a landlord, the princess wouldn't enter the equation (but she would have intervened for sure, and gotten hurt or killed most likely). While serious, that isn't that serious of a crime. In older times, it happened with alarming frequency. If anything, the bigger problem is that the state's armed forces were lied into being involved, and by one of their own no less.
- As for said landlord, the MC, he told them to show mercy. You can say "he's the same who destroyed a castle and everyone inside before" and you're right, but he felt pretty regretful about it afterwards and probably doesn't want to dirty his hands again.
- The military noble was forced to retire. Well, for starters military head honchos in older times (pre-WW1) tended to place A LOT of importance on gaining honour and glory in war and they essentially took that from him. Not only that, but he's implied to have been the equivalent of dishonourably discharged. That means every single achievement or shred of honour or glory he earned in his entire career is ashes, gone and never to be recovered again. Sure, he didn't look the type to care about those things, but that he became essentially a dead man walking after the "retirement" meant that he cared a bit about them, at least.
- As for the other two, not only is implied that they lost their noble position, as they have to seek successors for them (in my opinion, maybe the MC ends up with a greater peerage in the near future); but that they're essentially condemned to forced labor. Sure, in an office instead of a mine, but still forced labor. For noble twits like them who apparently never worked a day in their life and took their privileges for granted, such fate must be worse than hell. And who knows if they're being paid at all, but I don't think so.
I've already covered most of your points in my previous opinion, however I wish to address this specific one:
He said the soldiers, who were being forced to follow orders and were the ones wounded as a result, should be shown mercy, not the instigators. Sharing responsibility and calming the situation down, when the prime minister was about to detonate, was Lafayence.

... Slavers. His slavers. Let's be real, here.
For the punishment, fuck that. I can possibly see sparing the soldiers. The leaders and the royals should have been hanging from a tree, their assets seized and given to the MC. Who, as far as I can tell, received NO compensation from this.
I typically try to stay away from The Edge, but there's no way that punishment fit the crime. "Gee, you pointed a gun at me and pulled the trigger, but the gun jammed and you gave up when I was about to beat your ass. All is forgiven, go retire on a beach somewhere!"
