She's traumatized, have low self-esteem. So how do you expect she act like what you guys want? She's abused at her home country, even now everyone hated her except for ml. But he's kinda insensitive. It's only 11 chaps. It takes time for her to heal and gather the courage. Now she's questioning her actions and attitudes. She's chamging!

So Eclis betrayed penelope and she gives him the slave ring, and cut off their relationship. Eclis is in despair because he loves/obsessed of penelope. At the end of the story, there's a war led by Yvonne and eclis joined her. ( I think he joined in condition that he have penelope and during that time eclis tried to kidnap penelope) btw, eclis is the prince of the country that have lost in the war and become a slave. While he trained swordsmanship outside, he has been gathering his former comrade. So back to the war, eclis is missing after the war finished. They can't even find his body. In the side story, eclis and penelope met again, but eclis lost his memories. At that time, he saved her from a monster. He told her, he's been following her for some time, because he felt an 'attraction' to her. After that, eclis left and i think they never meet again? Penelope thinks it's better that he doesn't remember anything since it's a painful memories for him.
Yes my guy. Become a tyrant and kill them all motherfuckers
