i get that rashta is made up to be the villain of the story but isnt that wrong????, like shes not completely innocent but she was a slave, a SLAVE!!!, shes just doing everything she can to survive and have a happy life and not go back to being a slave, and its shown that she does care for the child she had but struggling with that and being blackmailed with it or being thrown into slavery again. I get why people are upset at rashta because i sure am sometimes but like, shes up against the richest and most powerful people in the country, shes just struggling to survive. In my opinion sovieshit is the real villain of the story, he doesnt communicate enough with navier and expects her to be a loving and caring wive when he didnt even build up the relationship to that point, he likes rashta when shes naive and innocent but didnt want her to learn more about etiquette becuase she thought she would be like corrupted?? like lose her appeal???, and now he wants to divorce the empress and doesnt even warn her its for a plan. hes a piece of shit.
