To a certain extent, he was. But then he lost all credibility because of what he did to Navier, his empress who not only ruled by his side wisely but made sure to be the perfect mother of the kingdom. I mean, he did not think it through when he pulled the shit he did with Rashta. Now the stability of his empire is at stake because of everything happening to the royal family which is like a direct representation of the current state of the kingdom in some way. It also opens them up to a lot of potential attacks and maneuvering which only shakes the foundation of Sovieshu's rule
so it was all thanks to navier that the reputation of sovieshit was good.
I wouldn’t say it’s all thanks to her, but to their equal partnership in ruling the kingdom.
I mean, imagine two logs holding up another log. Equally balanced, even if you stomp around, it won’t fall. Now, replace that log with a seemingly sturdy stick. It seems sturdy as the log on top is held in place, but stomp around it, and the whole structure crumbles as the stick was full of my cracks and breaks under all the pressure.
That is what Sovieshu chose. I mean, he didn’t think the other log would leave, but that's what he got now.
i read it somewhere that Sovieshit was actually a wise or more preferable emperor than heinry who has tyrant tendencies
but as a lover, heinry was obvious won!
