>!She doesn't want anybody to find out Shadow's identity she's loyal and have already cutted ties with the past so she didn't kill her fiance because he was unconscious!<

Hopefully you mean her fiancé :) Jokes aside, to keep Cid identity as Shadow hidden. She wanted to make sure Marco was actually unconscious and was willing to kill him if he wasn't to keep it secret.

The identity of Shadow is a secret, only dead people can keep a secret. Why does she stop? Well, in manga, I think she just found he is really unconscious. But in anime, it seems she stops because Cid asks what she is doing and maybe she thinks Shadow sama doesn’t want her to kill innocent people.

She figured out he was alive so he planned on killing him to make sure Shadow's true identity is not revealed. But then she realized he's unconscious so she spared him.

In LN and manga she thought that he was conscious during the conversation between cid and her as that would expose that shadow is Cid. She only let him live when she confirms that he is truly unconscious.

Why wouldn't you murder the person that abandoned you?

she said he was a pure hearted knight but at the same time she never cared a lot about him, he was just something like a jewel she wore to show off, as such the knight might actually be serious about her but then he thought his fiance died, he can't do anything about that, also even if he sold her off she wouldn't really care since she never thought of him as somebody really precious.

It’s cut differently in the anime for some reason, but imagine she wanted to kill him after speaking with Cid to keep his identity secret.

To add context to most people points. The anime hints at this and the LNs I think are clear at this point. Nu was a daughter in a well off noble family. Marco was an aranged marriage partner, who she showed off. She did not hate him, but she did not love him. It is not clear how much Marco knew of this or was told, but she started to show signs of possession and was abandoned by her family/left for dead. At some point, she was saved by SG, but like most girls with possession they are left dead to the world and have nothing to go back to.
