Stomach! Let's brainwash ourselves with 'the sword was very long'. I think she got closer before the sword swish…
in the later scene where all 3 characters were visible, I noticed that there's a slash mark on his stomach. I think she didn't cut him. she stabbed him in abdominal area and turned her blade slightly down and then took it out. this is what caused the blood to splash upwards on the crown prince's face.
but this scene could've been less confusing if it was planned out well.
