Things that people missed about Sovieshit
1) he doesn't love Rashta, ever. He just wanted to have an heir. Having a child with another noble woman would hurt Navier's position and the nobles with act up against her. It just turns out that Rashta was a slave not a commoner. (He used the same technique his father used to introduce his mistress)
I think he thought that Rashta would simply just go away after Navier adopt their kid.
2) everything would be so easy if he just investigated the poison that made Navier infertile.
East has way more many mages. One way or another, they would have found out a way to heal her, just like how Heinry healed her with mana stones.
But doing so would harm his mother.
Yeah, he chose his mother's reputation than Navier's.
Well, having a slave carry a royal child "hurt Navier's position" though, not to mention, she was even divorced. And being affectionate with the mistress in front of his legal wife, in front of the nobility, forget about "nobles with act up against her", she was like a laughing topic of nobility being played by a slave.
If he doesn't love Trashta, doesn't mean he cares about Navier, because if he do, he won't to it. Cheating is non-negotiable.
I mean, if it is a fellow noble woman who carry the child, then maybe it is worth fighting for the position but having a slave overthrow an empress not only hurt her as his wife but also a challenge as a noble woman.
Oh yeah we didn't missed that part.
If he only told Navier about everything, then with a brain like her, a better solution could have found.
Oh well, it's good afterall, he gave her a chance to find someone better than him.
Oh this was supposed to be a reply to a post. I didn't meant to defend Sovieshit
I'm just explaining his plan because people say that he somehow loves Rashta at the beginning.
"Hurting Navier's position" I'm talking politically here. It would be near impossible to divorce and make Navier adopt the child if it was a noble woman.
He needs a commoner who only had him as her back up so that once he had the child, he can take away all of the power.
Again, it all just happened that Rashta is a slave.
All of your points are valid, but it was more on the emotional side which can easily be twisted using the media.
Tbh I also pitied Trashta cuz she wanted to live and survive her fault only I'd she's dumb . And about Sovieshit cuz they way he brought up the mistress to have a child without explaining anything to Navier . And the way he treated her like a third wheel and would always pick side of Trashta . I think if he was smarter he'd talk w Navier about it before doing all this sht. But aye good he didn't now we have Hotter ML lead
Fl is a princess who was abused and tortured by everyone in her country especially her father the king. they even isolated her after finding out that she has no powers (she hides it) even though she has the unique hair color.
So she was sent to a country as a token of peace where she got married to this dark skinned ML. Ml is nice to her and they struck a deal with each other.
She later on invented a scalpel and make it her business.
I'm not trying to defend Ciel, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now.
I don't know, i think there's more to his backstory. He's a coerced war dog trapped in korea, and my theory is that they, the government and that fake ass bitch saintess, forced him to bond with the FL so that he can't get back at them since FL will be his only guide.
That's why he's paranoid every time that Fl goes out without telling him and can't fully trust her.
And about his possessiveness, I'm threading this like how I thread an Omegaverse story. Possessiveness and Obsession is a thing that you can't fight and more like an instincts. You just have to accept it since it looks like every esper is like that.
This is my theory only.
If there's a light novel, please do spoil me
In the novel, he hated anyone from the government because he was trapped and FL was part of that government. He fell in love with her over time because of sincerity, but he was extremely worried that the government was always watching. He knew the government would use FL if they found out he cared for her. That’s why he made sure she was always near her and ignored her to protect her. Was it cruel of him, yes, but he had his reasons.
Damn I'm right to trust him (▰˘◡˘▰)
But one more question, almighty spoiler sama, this is not going to be a reverse harem right?
Not really if I remember correctly, but there will more espers in the future. The story concentrates on their relationship and the greed of the fake saintess.
Thank you so much ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
I appreciate this (≧∀≦) thank you
No problem! Just note that his current and past actions are not great, but he will earn FL’s love again after a lot of work.
