Anyways, speaking of Myne I think that before the waves she was mean but not a villain as she is now, the levels she reached are over the top. There was not the reason nor the chance to do so. That, aside for the reason she got ousted on which I'll refrain making speculations because we have still too little knowledge about the reign. I mean, this fact alone, Myne removal from the line of succession, is quite anomalous. As much as the Queen being exiled given the context they are in, a matriarchal society. I'm expecting the two events to be strictly related. Last, the king who was once not royalty, and likely not even nobility. Speaking of which, did I get it wrong or he said something about a previous shield hero? So that's not the first time the waves came?

I don't think the Queen was "exiled". She's just travelling through other countries for diplomatic negotiations of some sort. If she was exiled the Shadows wouldn't answer to her, her word would not have such instant authority as seen in the show, her designation of heir would have no weight and even if it did Melty wouldn't have a responsibility to follow her orders. It's made pretty clear throughout that the queen is still in power, she just happened to be visiting other countries for various reasons.
And yes there was at least one previous Shield mentioned, but again how long ago this was has not been stated. The fact that the Church has managed to develop an entire religious belief centered around three and demonizing the fourth suggests to me that it'd been at least a few generations. Dogma doesn't change that quickly, so it'd take a bit for them to erase the historic knowledge of the predecessor's achievements and replace them with whatever "demonic" acts they came up with.
