I agree, I think Eclis's color is what it is because it's a psycho obsession. Between his hatred of the empire and desire for revenge combined with his devotion to Penelope, yet he stays at 99% and can't say he loves her, I think he's warped and it's going to come down to a showdown between him and Kallisto. I just hope whatever took hold of Reynold to be a dick doesn't take hold of him as well, and he's able to see through the BS... I'm getting so sick of seeing the true villainess use magic to brainwash the main ML, even if it's temporary. =_=
But then again at the same time she was "terrible" to him. She gave him shelter and took care of him, sure, but she has always been cold towards him, spent weeks without even seeing him although she knew that he was getting bullied (which made him act "sick" for attention). I guess techniccally Eclis sensed that too, her behaviour was fickle, she'd gift him especially expensive and precious stuff, yet she wasn't ever emotionnally invested and never prioritized him.
That is the reason he became the way he is. This is probably all just to get her kicked out of the douchy, so that everyone will turn their backs on her, and he, and he alone will be with her.
Eclis will probably end up trying to hurt the other male leads, and even FL herself if she completely turns her back on him.
