Agreed. People here like to look over the fact that Rashta was a SLAVE and both the Emperor and Empress are totally cool with people enslaving and torturing people based on what their great grandfather did. I don't like the empress for that reason.
INB4 "but but it was historically accurate for there to be slaves in the olden times" well it was also common for the Emperor to have a concubine and treat the Empress like shit since men were treated as above women, yet I see y'all complaining about it every chapter
Feels like she just genuinely wants to make a better life for herself and it's not unreasonable given she was a slave. I don't agree with her being a mistress, but feels like that's more the Emperor's fault than Rasha's.
Maybe it's just been a while since I've read this but I feel sorry for this woman who got chucked into a very judgemental place with pretty much no one supporting her.
