From my perspective, she spent months sitting on her ass because the plot required it. And once the author had decided Naofumi had suffered enough and it was time for him to get even with his enemies, she was allowed to appear to magically set everything right.
Myne showed how shameless she is in this episode. She knew she couldn't lie yet still tried countless times instead of admitting her guilt. Then she begged the man she had wronged for mercy.
Stripping her and Trash of their status and renaming is fine and all, but my understanding is that they aren't even going to be imprisoned? If they didn't want to kill them, having them rot away in a cell seemed like the next logical solution. Naofumi is just asking for further trouble here. Humiliating them like that is just going to make want to get revenge even more.
While he was it, Naofumi should have asked the Queen to rename the other three heroes "the three idiots". Damn, they're dumb.

The queen was probably busy negotiating compensations for the nstions that were hit by the waves, and it's safe to assume that after the stunt her husband pulled the other leader wouldn't have let her go back easily without at least some formal agreement as insurance.
Regarding Malty, I'm disappointed. I never thought for a moment she was really going to die, but seriously, after what she did all she got was an embarassing name and not being royalty anymore? No prison? No forced labours? No becoming a slave of the heroes?
