He listened too closely to Saazbaum after he rescued him.

Before getting saved by Saazbaum Slaine showed signs of caring for terrans and also disapproved of the orbital knight's actions against Asseylum's beloved earth. But after he followed the Deucalion back to the landing castle, he suddenly started to be more hostile towards the terrans.

And when he finally met Inaho face to face he showed his true colors. I guess that in season 2 he might actually go in the "yandere" direction.

But that's often how it goes in real life as well:

If someone has to endure getting bullied all the time and doesn't do anything about it and doesn't really complain either then the said person will at some point "explode" and vent their anger at the unfortunate person who happened to bring him to the limit. Also, people at the verge of "exploding" are quite vulnerable to suggestions of someone who was not directly involved in the bullying and did them a little favor recently.

I am not sure if Saazbaum did that intentionally, but his speech about his reasons for hating the terrans and how he lost his fiancee conveniently pushed Slaine in a very bad direction. Normally the princess would help alleviate his mental pain from getting bullied by Saazbaum, but she was not there and also in big danger, which further increased his mental stress.
