okay...I screamed a manly squee when Heinely was there...there I said it ....and am not ashamed of it....
yo emperor scumbuckett do one thing right and kill that basterd
i cant hate this man enough...thank you author for creating such a scummy villain...and my days of calling rashta by her other name are done for now...she's not a nice girl but dammit she's got no other choice at this point...course if she does something to bring credible harm to our Empress...
wow....we knew the emperor was scum....but seriously it would have been better that he was just besotted with Rashta(for this once she deserves kindness) instead of being this manipulative breeder bastard....he doesn't even deserve Rashta ....
again if this was a different story Trashta might even be the hero...but she aint...she was duplicitious from the start...and she never approached Navier with anything resembling her station as a concubine calling her "sister" from the start...i agree she's a victim but also she is not...
Navier and her brothers minder..."I hope Koshar keeps his temper"
Koshar "you know what I haven't maimed anybody today....time to remedy that"
hilarity ensues
that scene...where Navier presses Trashta worry crease down....gave me a thought that if Trashta actually came clean about needing to be protected to her instead of the shitty emperor early in the game this would be a different story and we'd be rooting for them to be allies instead of enemies
you know this might be the first time I think Trashta is just really trying to protect herself to the best of her ability...if not for Navier being as classy and actually decent as her position allows her to be...trashta would be a excellent lead in a story trying to fight a patriarchal system...
i hope that Revetti can be saved from her scummy family...theres a good person in there somewhere that just needs to learn poise and dignity.
as far as Heinley is willing to go to war for a queen...that would lose her to him...I think there are more reasons here...the emperor is weak minded...
i dislike trashta but i think she's more cunning than she lets on...also that bird prince seems abit predatory to me at the moment when our empress is feeling vulnerable
