I would almost bet money that Rumple has his own independent fiefdom, which isn’t necessarily a kingdom, but he still has jurisdiction over a group of people. Robin Hood might be wanted for stealing money from another kingdom, like King George’s, as well as for stealing magic from Rumple’s lands.
Bless that little Imp, so would I. 😆
And even if he didn’t have a fiefdom or something similar, who on earth is going to try and take him on?? I’m betting they are willing to just let him live in his rather large estate and pray he doesn’t get bored and destroy them all.
Which brings me back to : why is Robin stealing magic? We know this is also supposed to be the Rumbelle episode so I think the stories might parallel. If Robin is trying to free Marian from the Sheriff of Nottingham perhaps their love story sparks something between Rumple and Belle.

Wasn’t Robin Hood in the Sherwood Forest vs Snow in Enchanted Forest if so I wonder how close they are and do you think Robin showed Snow how to shoot with the Bow and Arrow? ❓
Rumple called it the Infinite Forest in A Land Without Magic, so maybe Sherwood and the Infinite Forest are one and the same. It’s like the land itself is called The EF but the forest is the Infinite Forest
