The emperor is a dick I kinda of feel bad for rashta(she a bitch) but she think that the emperor loves her when he only love the idea of her docile, weak and completely dependent on him which is shown quite often as he didn’t teach her how to read or write didn’t teacher manner required for royal society which makes her look stupid at times and not only that he doesn’t care about his kingdom for one he didn’t think about how he divorcing the empress who was trained from brith and loved by the people for a girl who is uneducated and would be through into power and the fact that the people who help support the kingdom has a good relationship with the empress. Plus if you was worried about an heir he would talk to the empress about it and his plan but no he’s planning to divorce her in secret
Nobody can defend rashta no more saying that she was tryna better her life cause when her role as empress was secured she still lied and try to make the empress look bad
she be like "haha i have the emperor's child and i am the empress now" bich i- why dont you buy a poisin then drink it you useless rat bastard
