Awesome / The Remarried Empress

Go To

  • The whole divorce-turned-remarriage. Navier quietly agrees to divorce Sovieshu, seemingly giving up her title of empress to a concubine who smirks behind The Emperor's back at what is happening to Navier. And then... she asks for a remarriage. Cue Heinrey, unveiling himself and he struts to her side, while Sovieshu and Rashta are frozen to the spot and the crowd is stunned. It’s an amazing way to start the story and the perfect climax to the first part of the webcomic.
  • Really, just Navier in general. This is a woman taught from birth how to be the ideal empress, and she succeeds in everything she does in that role. She’s able to control her emotions so well some can’t guess what she’s thinking, is a very skilled diplomat and bussinesswoman as shown in her negotiations with Kapmen from Luipt, and does everything she can to help her subjects such as taking 15 years worth of detailed notes on how to rule an empire and sponsor charities when she knows she is getting divorced. And while there are some hiccups in getting respect from the high society, she’s able to continue being the ideal co-ruler in the West.
  • Underneath his carefree, puppy persona, Heinrey is The Chessmaster. He goes to the Eastern Empire to secretly gather intel in order to prepare for an invasion. When he meets Navier, he plans quite a few things more, such as Ergy's friendship with Rashta and sending anonymous letters to Navier. Ultimately, the guy didn't even need to invade the Eastern Empire, as the nation weakens so badly from the fallout of Rashta's crimes and Sovieshu's failing mental health that Heinrey's family practically owns the Eastern Empire by the end of the story. Everything works out for him!
  • Ergy is one stone-cold badass. He plays Rashta like a fiddle, giving her "good" advice on etiquette that actively makes her worse off in the eyes of the court and getting her to take a big loan with interests from him in order to pay off her former owner/blackmailer, those interests being making her sign off a strategically important port to him when she became the empress. All without rousing suspicion from her or Sovieshu. The only time Ergy truly risks his position is when he is ordered by Sovieshu to "rescue" Heinrey and take him back to his kingdom without Navier. Instead, Ergy manages to sneak both of them out without getting caught! When he finally reveals his true colors, Rashta can only bring herself to smack him and yell at him. Sovieshu would have done worse, if not for the fact that Ergy planted a false note for him detailing how Glorym is actually Sovieshu's child - a distraction in order for Ergy to get out of the Eastern Empire.
  • High Priest Vimirey. He’s the only authority figure higher than Sovieshu, and he has the power to not only allow Navier to remarry Heinrey, but to also scold Sovieshu when he tries to reject the remarriage without consequence.
  • Navier telling Sovieshu to his face that, no, she’s not coming back to him even if he has now explained himself to her. The fact that he had the nerve to ask this of her at his wedding TO ANOTHER WOMAN makes this even better. From the look on his face, you can tell that it’s finally sinking in what he’s given up.
  • Catron receives information that Heinrey had a secret lover, who has a child who looks a lot like Heinrey and whose house is being guarded by two Imperial guards. The woman, wearing a gem necklace with the Imperial crest on it, agrees to keep Catron's own pendant as proof that he will bring her to the Imperial Palace with her son. He then brings the woman to the palace, who then promptly lies that Catron was the one who promised to be with her and then abandoned her. When Catron tries to object, she pulls out his pendant and calls him a traitor. Turns out Heinrey set the whole thing up to catch Catron in the act of slandering him, which keeps him quiet for a while.
