🚨 UNPOPULAR OPINION: SOVIESHU WAS A BETTER PERSON THAN HEINREY, AND I GENUINELY DON'T THINK IT'S PARTICULARLY CLOSE. Sovieshu is treated like the devil himself, while Heinrey gets romanticised as some perfect man simply because he loves Navier. Heinrey is literally a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Have we actually read what this man did in the original novel? Heinrey didn’t approach Navier with pure intentions. He initially intended to seduce her, ruin her reputation, and use her as a political weapon against the Eastern Empire. He planned a war against the Eastern Empire, deliberately accelerated its mana crisis, and stole magic from innocent citizens, including orphans. He ordered the destruction of the Zimensia family and the enslavement of its members, including little children. His methods of punishment were downright sadistic. He force-fed a man rocks before having his mouth sewn shut. He tortures Krista's elderly father to death, despite the man having no involvement in the assassination attempt against Navier. This is the same man people casually describe as a green flag because he buys Navier flowers, treats her affectionately, and calls her beautiful. Meanwhile, Sovieshu's greatest crime was taking another woman while married to Navier, something that was perfectly normal for an emperor in their society. How exactly does that compare to deliberately destroying an entire population for political ambition? I’m not arguing that Sovieshu was a good man. He wasn’t. But if we’re comparing their morality, their cruelty, their treatment of innocent people, and their willingness to sacrifice others for personal ambitions, I would take Sovieshu over Heinrey without hesitation. Sovieshu was a terrible husband. Heinrey was a far more mentally deranged man. Why do you think the fandom romanticises Heinrey so easily? #TheRemarriedEmpress
