And Regina didn't feel remorse. Regina learned she ordered AMrian's execution and she kept that to herself and she never told Robin what happened. If Zelena told Robin that Regina killed Marian, Regina would be caught with her pants down (it's a metaphor) because she didn't tell Robin what she did.

Regina clearly felt remorse. You could tell from the expression on her face when she watched it happen. And how exactly could she tell him? It wasn't like it ever really came up. Besides, that was thirty years ago, and she is clearly not the same person she was.
