Personally, I can partially understand how she ended up so twisted. Facts we know:

1) 3rd princess = marriage fodder/political tool

2) Most intelligent person in kingdom, possibly most intelligent human, yet it means little in the face of her position

3) Nobles try to block everything she does because most of it undermines their authority, nevermind it's for the good of the people cuz them nobles be like "F THE PEOPLE"

Speculation:

4) Because of 1-3, she understands she is more intelligent than everyone around her but nobody cares just cuz she's a 3rd princess, but along comes Climb who adores her for saving him and hangs on her every word.

5) As a result of 4, she has finally found someone who listens to her, who loves and adores her, and thus Climb becomes the only thing or person that matters to her.

6) As a result of her oppressed childhood, she subconsciously wants dominance and control (because she has largely lacked control and attention most of her life), and Climb is likely to give them to her (actually, he already has. he's essentially in chains spiritually already)

7) Zanac and Raeven have realized her secret side and are repulsed by it, pushing her to worry that even Climb might lose faith and love for her if he finds out, thus the need for him to be bound so he cannot run away from her love and need for attention.

Alternatively, the whole "Climb in chains" thing is a metaphor and she knows that he's already in chains of love and now she just wants to be rid of her position so she can run off with Climb and fully reveal her desire to love and be loved (her sisters were already married off for political reasons, and she'd rather send her country six feet under then let it happen to her too when she already has someone she loves and who loves her)
