I kind of agree with you but about Trashta, sure she suffered a lot, has traumas and people make mistakes however, her actions can't be justified.
She did many harmful deeds consciously, moments and moments have been shown her just being plain wicked, jealous and mean, it was a choice she made. Karma reached her and she still dares to argue she is innocent. She deceived many and trusted the wrong people. She was not perfect but didn't even try to be a better person.
And the Emperor is another trash, he has some serious problems, can't communicate properly, isn't able to give the basic respect a person deserves (especially to someone who is supposed to be "family", regardless if he is Emperor or not) and is fickle, in my opinion. Can't stay loyal to someone, Trashta is trash but she didn't deserve the treatment she had from him, she was used like an object. Tho, one thing I didn't dislike is him thinking of making a girl his successor, but we'll see what will actually happen.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not justifying her actions. I'm just saying I don't understand why people who constantly pushed and mistreated her, like her old "owner", are surprised that she's no longer "sweet, naïve" etc LOOOL!
You guys are too apologetic. She's BEEN at her wit's end. There was an AU drawing the author made of rashta and navier getting along. That could have been her life is she chose not to be a b*atch
So many people mistreated and used Trashta, and then ask why she's become a "dry tree"/has "lost it", there's only so much someone can go through before it all goes awry ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ the girl is at her wit's end.
EDIT: I'm not justify Trashta's actions. Just saying people who have been villains towards her shouldn't be surprised that she has changed/snapped.
Emperor Soveshitu needs to realise he was duped real quick and i can't wait to laugh my ass off. He used Trashta to get a child, hurt Navier for his "big plans"... like the hell, don't understand why he thought it would work
