So weird! I just read the postdivorce events in the novel and my goodness! I was holding my breath for every Sovieshu and Navier interaction! kekekeke IT WAS SO SATISFYING HOW SOVIESHU WOULD REGRET EVERYTHING (it kinda gives an impression that Sovieshu was under some influence(strongly makes me think of that love potion) that made him seemingly lose all common sense to throw away Navier, a perfectly fine empress.)
I almost felt bad for him... ALMOST being the operative word.

Their definition of ugly here, is fat?! Wow ok

Well her "ugly" aspect (whether it is at the level of the character or the physical) appears because she was abandoned by everyone, including her own family, very early in her life, because she didn't seem as exceptional as the other members of her family and this comparison was amplified with the birth of her little sister (that's why she hated her sister). And that's very unfortunate!
(From the novel) Spoilers to cool off your annoyance with Trashta and Sovieshit cuz i know for a fact these things are sooooo far in the webtoon chapters to be yet created and released...
Ch80 is when they divorce and the high priest immediately officiates the marriage of Heinley and Navier. After that, at Ch81, Heinley now meets (and courts keke) Navier’s parents and discusses the moving to the Western Kingdom.
Many things happen, and for some reason, Sovieshit attempted to prevent Navier from crossing to the Western but fortunately she was able to exit.
TRashta is beginning to worry about the emperor’s affection because he keeps chasing Navier and not taking her side now. Navier’s interview in the Western Kingdom showed in papers where she revealed that she had actually known about the plan to divorce her. Sovieshit is shocked and writes to her to clarify things but got no response.
Sovieshit decides they shall have their wedding earlier so he can invite Heinley and Navier to which they accepted. (He like wanted to show off but it backfires because he only saw how close and trusting Navier is to the ever supportive Heinley. Btw, Navier now knows about Heinly being Queen (the bird) when she saw him transform from a bird into a naked man on a fountain in their Western Palace.) Trashta even more angered Sovieshit when she wore an embarrasing wedding dress which she thought was grand because she was trying so hard to surpass or match the “empress-ness” that Navier emanated. So it failed. During the 3 days of celebration, Navier acted indifferent all through out, but on the last day, was asked by Sovieshit to dance. He kept asking her to reconsider but Navier is sold. However, Navier asks Trashta for a dance so she can give some advice on how to conduct herself as the new empress(cuz for Navier, the Eastern empire is still her homeland). Navier was being sincere but then Trashta acts up and says her stomach is in pain. Sovieshit carries her out of the celebration and checks up on her. Trashta claims being provoked by the empress and Sovieshit asks what the empress did.. after not being able to answer, they both realized they were still referring to Navier as the Empress.
Because they were invited, Navier and Heinley also decides to invite them to their own wedding. Before their wedding, Heinley invites Sovieshit to drink and thanks him for divorcing Navier so he could now marry her. This fanned the frustration already there in Sovieshit’s heart so he tried to poison Heinley’s confidence saying that if Navier found out about Heinley being this “cheap”, he was not far from also making a mistake like he did so he can steal Navier back (this shit is full of himself)
Their wedding was magnificent while Sovieshit groveled and drunk himself to stupor. On the wedding night, Navier and Heinley did “it” ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ . Meanwhile, Sovieshit, being realllyy drunk, was kinda delirious and kept crying out for Navier. His secretary heard this trying to aid him to rest. Rashta heard this too so on the next day, she surrounded herself with men guests. On the day before Sovieshit was to return to the Eastern, he sought Navier again and kept saying “i love you” and along the lines of “please return to me”
This made Navier cry.
Many events happen, long story short, Sovieshit and Trashta have fallen out (Trashta is now in love with Duke Elgy and Sovieshit doesnt even give a fuck as until she’s given birth). One day, when Sovieshit was touring the village, he sees a superb elegant painting of him and Navier on a shop. He gets taken aback and threatens the owner to sell the painting to him (cuz the painting was not actually on sale). He buys it and gets it to his bedchambers where he stared at it while crying. The painting was of Navier sitting on the throne while he was sitting on the ground, his head laying of Navier’s knees looking up to her, but Navier had a faraway look.) He begged the Navier in the painting not to leave him and to look his way. The next day, his summoned the top painter to have the painting changed so that Navier is looking down back at him at the picture. (Eww)
I have read up to the chapter where Trashta has now given birth to a girl, and it seems Sovieshit, thinking the child is his own, plans to throw away Trashta and make the child the first female emperor (bitch is desperate to have an heir but cant stand the trash now).
Navier and Heinley is having similar dreams of a bird and egg. Heinley says that according to some beliefs, couples having similar dreams was a sign that they may be “expecting” now.(yall know what that means... babiesssss)
THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL SUMMARY OF FUTURE EVENTS AAAAA I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT TRANSLATED AND I'M ACTUALLY CURIOUS ON WHAT THE PAINTING LOOKS LIKE
This all sounds absolutely delicious!! *chef.kiss* I jumped all that to see if they are expecting, but not what precedes, so thanks. :)
THANK YOU!
TYSM FOR THIS WONDERFUL SPOILER!
Wait does that mean trashta child is not sovieshit child? If not the who's??
Remember the slave owners son? That’s the father she got pregnant by him again and ran away but didn’t know she was pregnant that’s why when she was fooling around with Sovieshit everyone thought he was the father but he’s not.
Trashta was already pregnant before she became a concubine. The father of the child she is carrying is the same father of her secret child.
I forgot to mention it in the spoilers but Trashta gave birth prematurely ( or so they thought, cuz they believe she conceived the baby with Sovieshit)
