The heroine is a rare type of villainess stories. She's genuinely kind, and genuinely aware of the situation, even wanting to sincerely protect the "villainess". The prince should definitely get his head on straight. Not listening to the girl he loves, only believing his own version in his mind, and even decidedly abhorring his old childhood friend. Someone should tell him that not only has his ex-fiance covered for him and gave him another chance by lightening his sentence, she also had done no such cruelty. He can't even believe her. On the other hand, I suppose she persists on being his knight because of an old promise, and that he genuinely liked her true self, but honestly with that much unfiltered spite directed at anyone it's really a huge question why she would persist to want to be by his side. At least let her serve the kingdom for him by helping the people instead. Also, that guy is totally going to need more than just a crown prince's education if he just rushes into things without fully and calmly understanding the situation. He's the type to fight and join battles without considering the heavy consequences (accusing Christiana), or the type to randomly just decide something for the country without considering it too deeply (if he won't properly listen to Sherina, then he may very well not even listen to anyone else, be it the prime minister or council of advisors, despite the potentiality of bad ideas. Or maybd he would be quick to agree without thinking too deeply...). In other words, he's brash and immature. If he were to continue to be like that to his adulthood, the kingdom will be in rapid decline. Poor Sherina, indeed. She may be clumsy but she's more thoughtful and aware than Lombard.
