🚨 WHY DOES NAVIER ACT AS THOUGH SOVIESHU COMMITTED SOME UNIMAGINABLE BETRAYAL BY TAKING A CONCUBINE? She was raised and trained from childhood to become an Empress. Surely she understood the traditions, expectations, and realities that came with that position. Emperors having concubines wasn’t some unheard-of scandal in their society. The previous Emperor reportedly had more than ten women. It was practically an established imperial practice. So why was Navier acting as though Sovieshu had broken some sacred marital rule? Did she genuinely expect to be the one Empress whose husband would never take another woman, despite knowing the history of the imperial family and the institution she was being groomed to represent? The existence of a concubine itself shouldn’t have come as a shocking revelation to someone who had spent her entire life preparing for that exact position. I’m not saying she had to like it, but acting as though she had been blindsided by something that was practically an imperial tradition is a little ridiculous. Was Navier really expecting a modern monogamous marriage in a society where that was never the established norm? Or do you think her reaction was still justified because of how Sovieshu treated her? #TheRemarriedEmpress
