Not only was she a slave (slaves cant consent and have no rights) who was never shown “kindess” her life until this garbage used her for a kid. It’s estimated that she was underage at the start (when she got raped bcs she cant consent remember). The mc should have been disgusted by her man instead of feeling jealous how embarrassing. And yes she could have done something. In the real world when slavery was normal there were a few normal people who did something and made a change. And ur telling me the empress cant do shit. She doesn’t even have a single thought about it. What a joke.
just because her life was full of misfortune doesn't mean she has a free pass to do what she did. her being a slave has nothing to do of how scheming she is and how she literally made others suffer. and dont even start telling me she got manipulated to everything she did because not all of her actions are influenced. she made some decisions from her own greed.
and did you even read everything? because I'm pretty sure Navier was both disgusted to Rashta and Sovieshu, that is why she can't even afford to forgive nor wish Sovieshu well. And who in the right mind would help someone who wishes and was happy of your downfall and the person your husband was cheating with, unless you're crazy enough that is. what a joke
Personally if my husband was cheating on me with a child I would be concerned for the child. Its very selfish to think about only yourself in this case. A child and a slave cant consent. So yes she is actually crazy to not try to help rashta actually.
Even if the child hits adulthood soon they are still considered a child. Rashta was very innocent in the beginning. She isnt the perfect victim no. She learns evil behaviour. Thats all she has seen in her life. That her beauty works wonders and if you are a class beyond everyone else then u can treat everyone like shit. Thats all that is ever been shown to her. If she didn’t ever experience kindness as a slave ever then how will she learn to be kind(without trying to rape her or use her that is). And yes she is annoying, but she is the victim.
My opinion of the mc would be different if seeing rashta opened her eyes and attempted to do even anything to slavery. Even just think they should be treated abit more like humans. But no she doesn’t see them as her people. Her people are only those who benefit her.
all I'm gonna say is that I hope you'll never get to experience being cheated on because that's some crazy self righteousness you're going on about. you keep saying a slave cant consent when she's literally out of slavery when sovieshu took her. she is a MISTRESS. she was brought in the castle as a MISTRESS.
but i do agree the child is not to be blamed for the sins of their parents.
For Rashta, she was given chances of improving her life. she was given education and aide by Sovieshu, but it is HER choice to follow Ergi and be blackmailed by his old "master". And lmao, Rashta was very innocent?!
She needs to sleep with sovieshu and have his child to be kept out of slavery. If you need to sleep with someone to not be a slave then you are still a slave. A person with rights wouldn’t have to do that. You can say that sovieshu would never make her a slave again but look at what happened to her. Her mistake was trusting anyone at all. She should have only trusted herself.
I kept taking about consent because you cant blame her for being a mistress for being raped. It is extremely selfish to be jealous of a victim of rape. Honestly i dont even know why i have to say this? Do you not agree? Or you think it doesnt matter? Its a very twisted way of thinking in my opinion.
The age gap between rashta and that man and the mc is like 6-8 years btw.
And yes she was innocent at the start.I remember she called the mc sister and she honestly probably really meant it. She was probably told that they were like sisters. But bcs we saw from mc point of view it felt like a dig. How dare a mere slave say that an empress is like her sister. Ofc very quickly she became annoying. She wasnt the type to suffer in silence and wanted to hurt others the way she had been. I dont even like her myself. But she is the most tragic character in the whole story. Its so sad.
girl did we even read the same manwha? are you imagining things that was never even in the plot? leaving and adding out details to satisfy your own understanding? because Rashta and Sovieshu was literally in a relationship. they label themselves as lovers. clearly, rashta was a mistress.
the manhwa didn't even mentioned about their age gap, and even if it did, that is a different issue which makes Sovieshu even more disgusting.
and this is really just common sense at this point. imagine your husband/boyfriend brings home another girl saying she is his new girlfriend while literally still in a relationship with you. and this girl starts calling you sister? that's like slapping you in the face. the audacity to call the legal wife "sister". really, at this point, you'll never understand what I'm trying to say unless you get cheated on. a normal person will never pity her husband's mistress whether they are a noble, slave, or whatever their title may be. at the end of the day, they're nothing but a person who took your lover away from you.
sovieshu is the most disgusting piece of sht here for bringing rashta and for being spineless. but then again that doesn't mean rashta's actions and decisions has to be tolerated nor forgiven.
as what i said in my og comment, "every character was complex that everyone showed a good and an evil side of themselves, in which imo, very close to reality. this story only shows how it is up to our own decisions on how we could live a better life—whether we get stuck on the past, revenge, hate, greed, or choose to move forward."
this is gonna be the last time i am replying to you. bye
finally finished it. can't believed how even after 200+ chapters there were still topics that remain unresolved.
anw based from the comments, i thought rashta had some redeeming qualities but lmao no. how are yall even siding with that girl? I mean ok she was a slave. and ngl she was indeed framed by those who are more powerful than her, but let's not forget how she has made her own decisions herself—not everything was how she got manipulated. Even from the start, she was conniving and a liar to save herself and for sovieshu to pity her. She used part of the truth and twist it to her own narrative to hurt people. just because she was a slave, it does not give her the right to do what she did and lie about things—I'm talking about all the decisions she did without ergi and that marquis (forgot his name) manipulating her. she was greedy herself. plus sovieshu gave her several chances of confessing her lies, she also has that other marquis who gave her better advice but she chose to follow ergi's instead. she partly brought everything upon herself.
also, Navier not liking rashta is justied. like who in their right mind would ever like their husband's mistress and would be ok to be sisters with them?! If you husband/boyfriend brought another girl to your home, how would you feel?! It maybe customary from the story but no woman would ever like their husband openly cheating on her.
Sovieshu and Ergi are both pieces of shit with zero redeeming qualities. they should rot in hell and i wish they suffered more karma than what was told in the story. Sovieshu was dumb and spineless while Ergi, i never really understand why he did those 'revenge', it feels farfetched even after reading his backstory.
anw overall it is an ok read. every character was complex that everyone showed a good and an evil side of themselves, in which imo, very close to reality. this story only shows how it is up to our own decisions on how we could live a better life—whether we get stuck on the past, revenge, hate, greed, or choose to move forward.
