A two week time limit before banishment feels totally arbitrary and beyond the authority of the village chief when dealing with a royal. I understand she's amazing and will solve the problems regardless, but the cliffhanger whiffed for me.

I took it as more leave them alone over full banishment.

But this Princess reminds me of Lenord of Quirm. Give her an impossible challenge, and she will have the answer in a day, a week tops.

I get the Village Chiefs sentiment of leave them be, but he doesn't actually have authority of that lol.

That said, we already know Princess is gonna be OP on this so Im ready to see what she'll do

Talking to royalty like that is a pretty good strat to speedrun getting yourself and your whole village executed.

Right. Totally stupid situation. Fun for storytelling in the abstract, but totally unbelievable in practice.
First, the village chief talks to royalty like he's the one with authority here. And he's warned that she's a mage too.
Second, he gives her a deadline. As if he has any other option to solve the situation. What is he going to do in two weeks? Lie down and die along with everybody else in the village?
I understand not trusting her until she accomplishes something. But the two points above are just breaking credibility.

It's definitely a bit silly to set such a condition.
And are the crops going to grow in two weeks?

I wonder what the source of the issue is. We've learned that magical beasts' aggression is related to unstable magic, and she noted that her own magic was unstable here, and it seems to be affecting the ability of crops to grow.

To pile on showing the villagers surrounding Sisty like its supposed to be threatening is also a whiff for me. She instantly tamed magic wolves and they're far more threatening than some starving villagers.

Honestly. I can understand the distrust for the lords, especially if they actually ignored the problem, while acting high and mighty. Yet we learn after one of these actually tried to fix it, but failed. Now giving up could certainly be considered a betrayal for the villagers, yet I consider unfair especially if the mage didn't receive support from the central government. Mixing people who tried with people who ignored the issue is assholeish.

Also I can understand acting distrustfully, and even mild confrontational, but "Go Back", "Leave us alone" isn't something you should tell a feudal lord. Especially a royal. Even if that country have an extensive anti monarchic sentiment, they know better that to making it manifest. Giving them a 2 weeks limit is even more stupid.
Also what did the villagers have to loose? It's not like they will be more starving then before even if stuff doesn't work. I could understand the villagers menacing the lord to leave if they started collecting / increasing taxes before the problem is solved, but not before.

Does she even have authority, She is banished by the king isn't it. So don't think the king and other royal family care about her.

1. The villagers here don't know about her circumstances. All they know is that she's royalty. And a mage. And she has authority because she's the lord of this remote region now. It doesn't matter why, she's the highest authority here.
2. I doubt that the other royals would be fine with random commoners disrespecting royalty, even one they themselves despise. It's bad precedent.

The guy seems awfully authorative against their lord and princess. What are they going to do if she refuses to leave after two weeks, call the guards? Burn the house down? Commit treason?
