rupia acting like the king isnt madly in love w her. she could just ask him to see her family
im boutta go reread these chapters so i can try to understand the translations ┗( T﹏T )┛
there's a lot more depth to what sernut said abt stability. its like him saying, even if the other concubines falls out of favor with the empress and never come into contact with her again, sernut will still be linked to her through work connections
idk if its just me but i feel like the emperor isnt entirely in the wrong. think of it as if you were in his shoes, after all the trauma of literal murder and abuse, then a woman comes along and says that she 'understands' you but is really manipulating your trauma into affection. he doesnt know that shes actually pure evil because he sees her as her 'savior' from his own trauma. honestly i only blame the emperor partially since he hasnt noticed everything yet, but that trash of a woman literally knows everything thats happening and still chooses to act this way.
yk what i hate the most? how trashta and that bastard of a man keeps trying to make the empress look bad when you literally see her under a pile of work bc she knows trashta is gna be a horrible empress
