I get where you’re coming from but in my opinion I feel like she was naive and was easily taken advantage of cuz she was a slave and everyone kept telling her if she didn’t do something she was going to be left behind and that’s what she didn’t want since she said that the emperor loved her despite being a slave which her first love didn’t want to be with her cuz of his status. Also the emperor was at fault he was good to her in the beginning but then ignored her which made her anxious and didn’t try to stop her and reassure her that he still loved her cuz he was basically using her just for the baby. But this is just my understanding of her I don’t mean to argue lol
Yeah. Like, there are some things to pity, and the emperor is way worse than her, but that doesn’t mean she should be let off. She deserves whatever is coming to her, and the empress didn’t have to become her friend, that was her own selfish desire. So ye, I don’t have pity for her currently, and I hope she suffers like the emperor lol.

Some people may pity trashta, which I kind of did at the beginning, but I don’t have a drop of pity for her currently lol XD sure, bad influences and all that, but you also got to be a judge for yourself about how you want to take the bad influences around you.
