I don't want to offend anyone so I would like to drop my say in this matter of Penelope and Eclis. We all know that Eclis was bought by Penelope in the Slave market and his clan/relatives are gone except him. So we can say that he has nowhere to go except in Penelope's place. Penelope tamed Eclis to become her sword knight and saved him whenever he's being bullied. However, what questions me is about the part where Penelope was saying that 'Eclis was the only one for her (?)' even if it's empty wouldn't that lead to Eclis having hope bc he has no one except Pen? And respectfully, I don't think what Penelope said here was good, it's more like she's leading him on. And if Penelope knew the game, why did she forgot Eclis (since in the og plot Eclis was also the one who brought back Yvonne) instead of letting him stay by his side as a guard, she completely forgot or neglected him.
Also, Eclis has a short time in every chapter so we couldn't see how exactly is he during his training. But it's his fault for being so full of himself that his master would love him. He was provided shelter, food and clothes, what more does he like? He's one helluva problematic slave I'd say. Also, he went and searched for Yvonne and when he came back being under Yvonne's spell, seeing how he's not even grateful to what Penelope did for him makes me think he really deserved what Penelope said in the latest chap. He was pretty obsessed to Penelope and that says a lot.
And my stand here in the latest chapter, Penelope should've handled Eclis better than getting angry and saying he should kill himself. She should've thought what will happen once she discarded eclis to yvonne ugh. And honestly, she never even reflected as to why eclis would even go that far. Eclis also don't know his place, he's a slave or a knight, he didn't have the right to move on his own when Penelope owns him. He also doesn't love Penelope, more like, he doesn't want to lose Penelope bc of his obsession (not love). They didn't properly communicate and it shows that both of them are at fault. Anyways, if y'all defend Penelope only, then that means you're the type of reader who don't see both sides and judges quickly.
