do these nobles have some mental defect? it's like they are children, one second they stand proud, the next they cry and scream and the next they celebrate and cheer.
same shit last chapters and every chapter before this with nobles, the king should take away their titles before they end up destroying the kingdom with their incompetency.

@Doomer I mean, refusing the king is enough to warrant a beheading in some monarchies. Turning your back on the king and walking away being equivalent to treason is pretty normal for most of them. The royal family, a duke, or republic member might be able to get away with it, depending on the power structure of the monarchy, but- regardless of her contributions and displayed power and connections- she's just a Viscountess. She's the one who wanted to be treated as a citizen and noble of that kingdom, to act out after that decision on her part makes it all the more of a slap to the king's face.
Moreover, this chapter starts by clarifying that a bunch more nobles have come in to the capital, prior to the first meeting. So there are a number of the nobles there who aren't directly familiar with her or her contributions, and who may perhaps not even be aware of who she is. Hence, reacting in such a manner is all the more understandable.
In support of that, only a minority appear to have responded negatively. On the other hand, the majority would have responded in cheering for the returning hero, which is something that'd easily rope society-concious nobles into also participating in the behavior, meaning that the previously negative minority would have had no choice but to switch to cheering at that point [admittedly, the quickness of the transition doesn't make that underlying step entirely intuitive].
That said, yes, rich/societally influential people tend to act like children. Look at any person in the modern era, an era where the inherent self-righteousness of the upper class is significantly decreased [unimaginable as that may sound] compared to that possessed of historical nobility. Of course, you could easily argue that modern freedom of expression and lack of fear of reprecussion makes up for any decline, but the point is, entitlement tends to follow along with high social affluence (or at least, entitlement becomes more readily visible under such circumstances).
In any case, regardless of justifications or premises, a king can't simply remove noble titles without cause unless the royal family is incredibly well-positioned and centralized in their control of power. Otherwise, the nobility gets edgy over the seeming capriciousness of the king, and you end up with a rebellion, a rebellion heavily supported by any deposed nobles. Alternatively, the nobles take their assets and move to a neighboring country, which is also not a good outcome.
Well, the characterizations in this manga aren't all the complex, either, so one could argue this is all just after-the-fact justification for the author's simple approach.

That ending totally gave off a vibe of "desperate & single meets disinterested lolicon". >.>
On the other hand, I'm kinda amazed they allowed a princess to get to her mid-twenties unmarried, within a medieval setting.
In that context, her desperation seems pretty easy to sympathize with. Similarly, if 26 seems old to a 16 year old now, it must seem especially daunting to a medieval boy.

@Thoughtgap : Tragic death, or maybe canceled due to a political falling out?

26 years old and unwed? In isekai? I understand the First Princess' feeling... and just wish her luck.

@Lazyxbum
He's been pretty upfront about liking Mitsuha. And his parents would of course like nothing better than for her to officially become their daughter.
And Sabine is a bit too young for him. If he had to go for a princess, the one he'd go for is probably the tiny big sister, who's a loli of the same age as him, like Mitsuha.

@welcome2atlantis mangaka is taking a queue from real life i.e. how modern day kings and queens are in their 80s/90s and princes and princesses are, sometimes, in their 60s/70s. Prince Harry is 34, at the time of writing.
Does it make sense in the context of the era? Not a chance. Still a bit entertaining, at least.
