With respect, I think you're wildly over-thinking there. IMO there really is nothing all that contradictory or surprising about a thuggish hanger-on taking pleasure in cooking up a plot against an innocent young woman to curry favour with his master, but being shocked when he learns his trickery has actually killed her.
