i don't want to sound too mean or something but the emperor was really just dumb. he is. there's no other explanations. he's an idiot through and through. he's definitely one of the most idiotic male leads ive seen so far. he's literally the man you wouldn't want to marry, probably the person who would hit his head against the wall and ask why his head hurts. he's a dumb dummy dumb who fried the only remaining brain cell he had because rashta keeps referring to herself in third person. im holding back with the insults but that scum deserves to step his foot on a lego, spoiled food for dinner, rat in his closet, step on some poop and hit his pinky toe against the table leg or something. ヾ(☆▽☆).
so like im really trying to keep an open mind to the emperor and rashta's circumstances i think the emperor did that because he wants a wife that acts like rashta acts cute obedient etc because in navier's case she tends to hide her feelings and is quite domineering and the emperor is quite stupid for wanting navier to act like how rashta acts because well she is an empress she have to act in a certain manner becoming of an empress that's all the emperor basically just wants a lover that is different from navier im still in chapter 25 so i cant really say much this is just how i see it
