Honestly I’m surprised that she was so ready to just accept Midori as a familiar and in all gave no shit about the fact a human came out of her summoning circle. It’s also curious that she tried to protect Midori and kept her close as she contained the MC’s summon, despite her being a stranger or “useless” without being able to use magic.
I think rather than evil, I think she’s rather just a hardass due to tragedy and upbringing that along the progression of the story the type of ruler her fiancé seemed to be and the MC’s views was just disappointing or disjointed from the future and ideals she sought or valued so it ended with her revolting against them. Or perhaps, she’s designed to be a tragic figure condemned in order to revolutionize the change of the current class system. There are some likelihood of the latter bc it’s very likely her sister was murdered, for the purpose of propelling Lapis as the heir of their family, and she could be carrying the guilt and burden for a long time leading to her making her decision
