I see Milady as extremely ruthless and truly quite a demon. For example, it was her decision to poison Constance, while Richelieu spared Constance's life by deciding to imprison, not kill, the woman. In the novel he even remarks on Milady's cruelty in this, iirc. Milady also planned to use d'Artagnan to get rid of her late husband's brother. The musketeers don't poison and stab people to rob them, even if they're ready to kill anybody who hurt their honor (but expect the same standard being applied to themselves.)
