AU: Glorym Vict, First of Her Name, daughter of Sovieshu the Peaceful and of the silver-haired lady, brought to the Eastern Empire new lands and new gold.

Great Glorym conquered the desert realms - and she bowed before her father, laying them at his feet as tribute and gift.

Great Glorym bore within her the spirit of Ossis the Second; never did she lose a single battle in which she took the field.

I was a little dissapointed when I saw that episode 190 of The Remarried Empress didn't show this moment when Rashta sees Ian and Glorym playing together, so I decided to draw it in my style

I hope you'll like it 💖

The Remarried Empress could have been peak if Rashta was the main character and portrayed as a tragic heroine since Slavier and Heinazi Ketchup are as enjoyable as cornbread batter

(a sequel following Glorym/Motte could've been neat too)

This panel perfectly captures how disgusting of a human being Sovieshu is.

What I think it first gets right is how peaceful and happy it looks. Out of context you'd think this is just a happy couple with their newborn baby on a picnic, until you learn that baby is actually his mistresses child and his wife is being obligated to take care of it. It manipulates anyone who doesn't know the truth that everyone is happy.

It also perfectly captures what he really wanted Rashta for, as an unwilling surrogate who'd push out a baby for him and Navier to raise as their own, complelty ignoring the fact that Navier wouldn't want to raise another woman's child and that Rashta wouldn't easily hand over her baby for her to never see again because let's just say in a universe where Navier never remarried and Rashta never went to trial do you really think she would easily just step down from the throne and never see her child again while her husband's ex wife is passed off as the mother? When this would be the second time her child is taken away from her forever? Of course she wouldn't, it'd probably would end with her having a full blown episode and there's no way Sovieshu was going to take care of her afterwords. At best he was just gonna send her to a supervised villa and cut her off from Glorym as not to risk his new family.

Because in Sovieshus mind, a perfect world for him is one where Rashta just let's him take her child and Navier just accepts it like nothing ever happened. While I may hate remarried empress for its misuse of slavery, demonizing women who don't bow down to Navier, and brushing the shitty actions of characters under the rug because they like Navier, there is some credit where credit is due for these panels because beforehand Sovieshu was acting all sorry for himself and you could almost feel bad until panels like this show up and then your hit with the realization that he's not a changed man at all, he's just upset his stupid plan to have his cake and eat it too failed miserably. It perfectly captures the essence of an abuser who only used their victims as means to an end to satisfy one goal.

Rashta's side story was just a dream

Ah damn it. When I first read about it, I mistook it as an alternative timeline but turns out it was just a dream. So Sovieshu having another woman as a mistress and Rashta working as Navier's maid was just her soul dream. Makes sense if you think about the arc. To Rashta, Sovieshu wanted a child and him having a drunken one night stand with a countess as revenge on Navier's supposed affair with he*nry was just her imagination of the situation. It was just a wish fulfilling dream unlike other side stories that actually happened in the canon. (RE has lots of side stories)

The children Side stories

Glorym aka Mote is revealed to be Sovieshu's child in the side stories. She grows up looking like Sovieshu, with white hair. Mote/Glorym also identifies herself as Rashta and Sovieshu's kid. Sovieshu later offers the throne to her but she declines. Sovieshu loves his child no less. He always harbours a great deal of parental love for his daughter.

Sovieshu has good relationship with Kai and Lari. He loves them both. He basically has the cool uncle relationship with them.

Evely side story

Evely has a sister named Dartha who was stolen by the bandits and grew up with them just like Glorym. Dartha also has healing power like Evely.

Evely regularly heals Sovieshu and later heals ergi's mom.

There's a scene between her and Sovieshu in the garden where she was crying and Sovieshu comforted her. Which made me uncomfortable cause it was oddly intimate. People were speculating that this might be the hint the hint of her being his future third wife. I HOPE NOT. THAT'D BE WEIRD.

Sovieshu sees her as just a kid. Yes in the main story, Evely at first thought Sovieshu brought her in the palace to be his concubine and outright asked him about it but Sovieshu laughed it off as the idea was too absurd. Why the writer is murking the water in the side stories? I wish I could understand Korean cause MTL is mess.

Anyway there are other side stories but they don't interest me.

And the last one is

Sovieshu's regression

Turns out Sovieshu's new arc has been well accepted among Navar readers. I like this one too. Sovieshu showed great character depth. Instead of dodging responsibility, he owned them. He admitted his fault instead of blaming others. He never discarded Rashta rather took care of her and Glorym. Well, even in main timeline he tried to give her multiple chances until it was too far gone. Anyway he never blamed Rashta for his situation rather blamed himself for not being more cautious about her. He corrected his fault in this timeline and warned her against Ergi and disclosed to her that he knew about her past. (Lots of could have been avoided in the main timeline if he told her he knew about her past). In the end he gave her a bigger palace to stay in with their daughter Glorym. He never went back to her as a lover.

And with Navier. Boy oh boy it was fun to see him grovel. He ate a giant humble pie. Rightfully so. Navier didn't forgave him easily. And I am glad Sovieshu didn't disrespect her. He never raised his voice against her and admitted that it was his fault alone for ruining their marriage. This arc is filled with cute moments between Sovieshu and Navier. Sovieshu finally admitted his love for her and Navier thought it just temporary. Sovieshu would have returned to original timeline if he didn't win her heart. As he remained with her in the new parallel timeline, it means Navier finally forgave him. The ending was also beautiful. Sovieshu treasured Navier for the rest of his life and them falling in love with each other again.

I'd have preferred if Sovieshu went back in time before Rashta arrived. But I guess author didn't want to erase Glorym. I love Glorym but don't like Sovieshu getting a second wife. The problem could have solved if Glorym was Allen's child but author complicated that by later turning Glorym into Sovieshu's bio kid in other side stories. Author wanted have her cake and eat it too with Sovieshu I guess.

Anyway Sovieshu's regression is the best arc in my opinion. It flows very well with the main timeline. Not a dream rather continuation of the main story. It happens after Sovieshu retired as an emperor and Lari is preparing for the coronation. In a way, it can be interpreted as the main ending too.

Finally the novel has come to its end.

You know, I really want somebody to offer Rashta help, like, her priority is her child and not being an empress out of blue, I just want to give her a place to stay and assure her that no-one will hurt her or her child, she really deserves better you know (I know you know) she wasn't even planing on taking Navier's place at first nor she wasn't mean or evil... I'm gonna commit arson against Sovieshu, come with me

I'M COMING WITH YOU ALL THE WAY

I feel like the best case scenario —if we're following canon— is that instead of locking Rashta up, Sovi divorced Rashta and sent her to a convent. Glorym would deffinetly still stay with Sovi but i think Sovi is a good enough father to let Glorym visit Rashta from time to time
