Maturing is realizing Heinrey is arguably worse than Sovieshu. And no Im not defending Sovieshu, but taking Rashta as a concubine was a socially accepted practice in that era, even though his treatment of both women was still awful.
Meanwhile Heinrey and Navier benefit from an empire built on slavery and the exploitation of children. Navier isnt entirely innocent either.she willingly participates in the political system that benefits her and rarely challenges its cruelty when it doesnt directly threaten her interests. She treated Rashta like some lowlife slave even after knowing Rashta has no one by her side
And Heinrey not some green flag hubby. Hes far from the harmless green flag people make him out to be. He infiltrated the Eastern Empire under a false identity, deliberately cultivated a relationship with Navier while concealing who he really was, and used his bird form to spy and gather information. He also isnt above political manipulation, deception, or sacrificing other people's interests to strengthen his own position. He's literally a war criminal. His actions during the war and his willingness to use political power against the Eastern Empire further demonstrate that he's not exactly morally innocent.
People criticize Sovieshu for his cruelty but excuse Heinrey's questionable actions because he's charming and devoted to Navier. Being a better husband doesn't automatically make someone a better ruler or a better person lol
