more that the tone of the series is rather light, all things considered, due to the inherent comedy of an outrageously overpowered MC.

The soldiers hit by the gigantic marble pillar weren't flattened into bloodsmears inside crumpled armor or smashed against the wall leaving craters and broken bodies - which I take to mean that the seriousness of the setting isn't particularly high.

So he might get exiled, but the series up to this point doesn't quite have the feel of bestowing realistic levels of consequences that would otherwise line up with what the prince has done.

Though I could see him simply being "executed off-screen" and it's just mentioned as a throwaway line - but death does not strike me as a real result of actions taken by characters here (outside of the MC necessarily dying in order to reincarnate, I suppose).

And that's fine, it doesn't have to go that more serious route, as this is very much a silly, slapstick manga thus far. But sometimes it gets a bit difficult to suspend disbelief when very dumb decisions made by characters don't result in equivalently severe repercussions.
Well you have to remember when magic is present so is magic knights and def. So I wouldn't count it out yet it depends on when the rest of the war shows.

True, though there's a clearly indicated disparity between the raw power of our MC, and everyone around her.
And with the most recent chapter's depiction of her magic clearly being on another level from anything seen in this day and age, I'm just choosing to go into this expecting more slapstick comedy than anything serious or gritty.

And again - that's fine. It's not necessary to go all blood and gore, like, at all. I just needed to figure out what expectations to have going in so I could enjoy it the most.

I like to think that while she was looking at the pillar, she was assessing the construction of the hall to see if it was load bearing or just decorative.

Well, critically load-bearing.

Can we count that as... a log?
It is shaped like a log and hits like a log.
She is lifting that completely in the air. All that weight is transmitted through her legs into her two heeled ballroom shoes. Why have the heels not broken under the weight of carrying a thick marble column 20 feet long? When she swung the marble column in an arc, the torque she was required to generate is also transmitted as a sideways force through her high heels. The many tens of killowats of equivalent power as a sideways force on the shoes should have the soles to come off.

Oh, it took me a while to understand. So she's the descendant of the Hero guy from the 1st chapter, 9 generations later. Dang, that's so far into the future.

Richard, you have just signed your own death warrant.

And now the emperor truly understands that armored princess MEANS armored princess.

The traitors have 3 choices now: Surrender and beg for mercy, run away like the little bitches they are, or try to fight a titan slayer of a woman.
