Omg yes I was trying to see things from Navier’s point of view and realized she was strong asf and I’m not sure if I would have been capable of doing the same. He was freaking miserable and literally lost everything. I dislike my last ex very much, I was also betrayed and hurt… but I’m not sure if I can ignore him if something like this happen to him (in modern times ofc).
this is Navier's character flaw. She doesn't know romantic love before therefore she's not in love with Sovieshit, but she is loyal to him (as long as he do the same) and the empress position. She love him like a childhood friend and support the empire with all her heart.
Now that she actually experienced being in love with Heinrey, her priority changes from the crown - people - husband to Heinrey - crown - people.
She doesn't want her #1 priority to sulk
Oh god I remember this part in novel made me cry so hard he sounded so miserable and my heart actually ached so bad for him
