She doesn't want to literally chain him up and abuse him. She just wants to keep him nearby and compliant. She just doesn't see any point prettying it up to Zanac and Raeven when the reason they're cooperating with her is because of her 'inhuman' traits.

It's true that she doesn't mind Climb dying when she can reliably ensure his resurrection. Why would she? It's just an outlay of gold, and in return Climb gets acknowledged as a hero and she gets to play nurse with him long enough to basically ensure that a political marriage would be difficult to sell. Of course, we know that she's not telling the whole truth here, the real reason she's willing to let Climb play hero in this situation is because she's made a deal with Demiurge to ensure Climb doesn't die and further to make him come out with a solid win.

That kinda backfires a bit when it turns out the people getting saved aren't as grateful as she'd like them to be. That really pisses her off, so much so that she nearly slips in front of Climb (or rather, she does slip and barely recovers in time).

Renner is my favorite character as well...for how throughly and frighteningly sane she is. She doesn't have any hangups other than wanting Climb to love her, and even that she pursues in a rational and efficient manner. Yes, he's her plaything...but her game is to keep him blissfully happy for a long, long time, while bearing his children and making a country that he can live in without shame.
