Tbh this was the best ending for her, because she'll be so far away from the crown prince. What Melina needs is time to grow and learn, she was used indiscriminately and then discarded so this time for herself'll be painful but liberating.
Maybe it's because of all the villainess stories I have read, but I really hope for a redemption for Melina. She has potential to shake things up in interesting ways. Maybe she still can but my hope did die a bit at the two year punishment.
