That's fine. No one can predict the future, whether you'll stay or fall out of love.
But still doesn't justify his shitty treatment to the empress. Even if it was a loveless marriage, at least give her the proper respect she deserves qwq
The fact that he wanted navier to stay with him as well though was incredibly selfish, and he fell in love with Rashta because she was extremely submissive, he gives strong misogynistic vibes And also dont like how he lies for rashta despite his position even if it hurts Navier's reputation
Im so sorry but I can understand the emperor who wounded up loving someone else. I feel bad for the guy.
