Remarried empress is a classist misogynistic mess

This post is solely for the fans of the story because I’m tired of having to repeat the same thing over and over. All of the credits for this thread goes to @JaneSmi59961167 on twt who got all the panels in order and has been speaking out against this story for days now

A lot of people ask over and over why people dislike navier specifically and if we expect her to be buddy buddy with rashta and my answer to that is no she has every right to feel betrayed and to dislike rashta but the fact is her issue with rashta is not that shes a mistress but that shes a slave.

She lets her lady in waiting humiliate rashta for daring to act to familiar mind she knows full well rashta hasn’t been taught proper etiquette

btw atp in the novel rashta is in a wheelchair

Navier sits at the peak the hierarchy she benefits from slavery, she never question its morality and she goes out of her way to befriend slave owners,

i can give her the benefit of doubt that she has no power to end it as shes still a woman but that doesn’t change the fact she never even considers ending it. Slavery in this story is generational slaves have no legal rights, Rashta has been a slave since she was born because her father committed a crime…he committed fraud.

“It’d be one thing if slavery existed in the Remarried Empress, but the horrors inherent in the system were left undiscussed and up to the reader’s own wits to deduce. But they aren’t. Instead, we are shown just how horrible the system is Rashta’s enslavement isn’t dressed up as mere servitude. It was enslavement: she lived in squalor, impoverished, in chains, in filth. Permanent scars on her hands from the abuse. She had no rights - no right to even be among the nobles who enslaved her, as is stated repeatedly” Rashta loved navier she genuinely adored her and she has no one, we are given some of rashta thought when she sees a portrait of navier while shes a slave still and sh literally believes navier would sympathise with her and her struggle but instead this is how navier sees her

navier is even mad when her lady in waiting is punished for slapping rashta

Rashta had literally nobody in her corner, nobody looking out for her best interests, and every single soul that talked to her told that her position as mistress was doomed to be temporary, and as a slave, she could be easily and completely discarded. Which, btw, was right! That was the Emperor’s plan all along - to impregnate a commoner girl w/ no rights, marry her so he could legitimize their baby, and then kick her out and raise the baby with Navier. He specifically targeted a slave so he could screw her over completely!

So in conclusion navier is complicit in rashta enslavent and shes a classist pos
