Because if not we didn't get the reason until "Bleeding Through" and even if we got a reason, the real one was probably the one in "Bleeding Through" The reason was because if Eva hadn't been so thirsty for Leopold's throne, Cora would've been able to raise Zelena AND have a better life. She could've been a queen. Eva cost Cora her daughter AND her power.

Then she had the nerve to trip her in front of royals and was humiliated. Again. Because of Eva. Again. So she really hated Eva, and despite Eva's redemption with motherhood and age, Cora was gunning for her.

But there's still another chapter in that story; what was the catalyst for Eva's redemption from spoiled brat to altruistic queen. The theory is that Cora had something to do with it.
