The only bitch here is you prince. Is he the type that can only realise he’s done something bad after he already burnt down half the country?

I could be wrong, but I read a lot of shoujo romance, and while all too often the MLs are assholes, he's not really the right kind of asshole, so he feels like a 2nd ML.

He screams your classic 2nd ML/male side character who used to be a huge jerk but turned into a tsundere simp for the FL. They're often the FL's brother or a guy who for various reasons isn't someone the FL ever considers a viable romantic interest (like a childhood friend she only sees as family, someone she holds enough of a grudge against that she'd never see him that way, or someone whose personality she considers too burdensome/annoying/extra to fall for).

My money's on someone else as the ML, maybe the hero, maybe another character that hasn't been introduced yet. Just because he's the first guy she met doesn't mean he's the ML, especially with manga they often take their sweet time actually bringing the ML in.
100% this. Those kinds of MLs tend to be more like "I'm the sexy, sword-wielding suave duke of the evil family who are the muscle/assassins/whatever of the kingdom-- probably more powerful than the royal family" or something along those lines. The temper tantrum shitheads are either antagonists or 2nd ML

If he's actually the ML I will become the temper tantrum baby

This mysoginist piece of shit better not be the love interest.

I have some minor hope that it is the hero that will be the love interest.

But the logic of narration probably leans more towards this asshole being the one, since introducing a random new character to be the love interest at this point would be odd.
Don't cope for it will be.
I seen way worse sht and I already accept it that's the way of things

It's the strangest thing, right? The prince has, if anything, been set up to be a recurring antagonist. His big turning character moment was realizing that his flippant arrogance ruined lives. Sana just nipped that in the bud here, and instead humiliated him publicly and privately.
Is he Handsome and Rich? Sure, but Sana doesn't give a single shit about him, so the idea that she will fall for him when he treats her badly is bizarre
Nah mate.
Its not truly bizzare for it has become NORMAL in this shtty romance trope.

He can threaten her, but right now he doesn't know who she is or where she lives. As far as he knows, she's a wandering fortune-teller who may never return to this town again.

I wanna see the hero introduced. Or more like I want a better potential love interest for Sana, she's too good for this royal manchild. I don't relish the thought of this possibly becoming yet another "I can fix him" borderline abusive romance story.

Sana was relived that Melirios didn't destroy it, but she didn't think what he would to her after she just rejected his request.

I'm guessing he wants her, but not necessarily romantically. He just wanted to show her off to his friends.

She touched the prince's hand. The prince can use that hand to masturbate while being angry tonight.
