how can someone be so idiotic? when does he plan to tell Navier of his plans? (btw will he tell her the whole plan or just divorcing her and only later say, now, please marry me again) who does he think will do Navier's work in this year? he can't be stupid enough to think that Rashta will be able to do even part of it, or even better, that Navier will still do the work, can he? but since the whole plan is so stupid, maybe he does.
and indeed hooray to Rashta for at least realizing that the difference between a consort and a empress isn't limited to superficial things and that becoming empress may mean to antagonize persons who are friendly to her at the moment
heavens how can someone who should be quite intelligent (he did reign the empire for quite some time without ruining it, so yeah) make such a stupid plan which ignores about every ounce of common sense regarding any involved party (be it Rashta, Navier and her family, the court or the whole populace)
