Dialogue Transcript The Remarried Empress — Chapter 1 69
THE HOUSE OF TROVI, THE FAMILY WHERE I BELONG, WAS A FAMILY WHICH HAD PRODUCED MULTIPLE EMPRESSES.
AND THE PREDECESSOR, EMPEROR OSIS III, HAD ALSO CHOSEN ME TO BE THE FUTURE EMPRESS OF THE CROWN PRINCE.
OUR MARRIAGE WAS A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE.
BUT THANKFULLY, SOVIESHU AND I HAD QUITE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP SINCE WE WERE YOUNG.
THE NOBLES CONSIDERED US AN ADORABLE PAIR OF LOVEBIRDS...
...AND WE SPENT MANY A DAY WITH OUR HEADS TOGETHER, DISCUSSING THE EMPIRE WE WOULD BUILD TOGETHER IN OUR FUTURE.
I WAS THE PERFECT EMPRESS.
THAT IS, UNTIL TODAY.
NAVIER EMPRESS OF THE EASTERN EMPIRE
I ACCEPT THIS DIVORCE.
YOUR MAJESTY! THIS IS PREPOSTEROUS!
PLEASE, CALM YOURSELF!
HOW COULD THIS BE?!
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
SOVIESHU EMPEROR OF THE EASTERN EMPIRE
RASHTA SOVIESHU'S MISTRESS
DO YOU TRULY AGREE TO ACCEPT THIS DIVORCE WITHOUT ANY OBJECTIONS?
YES.
I ACCEPT.
I DO FEEL REMORSEFUL... BUT I'M RELIEVED.
AND...
...I REQUEST AN APPROVAL OF MY REMARRIAGE.
WHAT?!
R-REMARRIAGE...?
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
A REMARRIAGE?
YOU SEEK A REMARRIAGE?! WITH WHOM?!
PFFT
IS IT TIME FOR MY GRAND ENTRANCE?
WHY ARE YOU...
NAVIER, YOU COULDN'T MEAN...
W-WHY İS HE...?
ISN'T HE...
HEINREY?
HE IS THE ONE I WISH TO REMARRY.
GOSH! I CAN'T BELIEVE HIS MAJESTY!
A FEW MONTHS AGO
I AGREE... WE SHOULD ONLY HAVE TO WAIT UPON HER MAJESTY....
IT'S SO OBVIOUS THAT SHE'S A RUNAWAY SLAVE-- OH!
H-HELLO YOUR MAJESTY.
I-I'LL GO PREPARE THE BATH WATER.
THEY'RE STRANGELY QUIET TODAY...
DID...
...SOMETHING HAPPEN WHILE I WAS AWAY?
YES! AND IT'S A VERY BIG DEAL!
WELL! HIS MAJESTY BROUGHT SOME FILTHY GIRL BACK WITH HIM FROM HIS HUNTING TRIP.
I SUPPOSE HE TOOK A LIKING TO HER BECAUSE HE HAD US WASH THAT UNKEMPT LITTLE THING.
AND HERE I'VE NEVER EVEN USED MY OWN HANDS TO WASH MYSELF. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING!
A COMPLETE SHOCK!
WE ONLY WET OUR HANDS WHEN IT'S FOR YOU, YOUR MAJESTY!
BUT EVEN IN HER SQUALOR, SHE WAS A CONSIDERABLE BEAUTY.
HER BEAUTY WAS SECOND ONLY TO THE DUCHESS OF TUANIA, WHO IS KNOWN TO BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF ALL THE DUCHESSES.
BUT OF COURSE, HER BEAUTY COULDN'T POSSIBLY COMPARE TO YOURS, YOUR MAJESTY!
HOWEVER... IT DID SEEM AS IF HIS MAJESTY HAD TAKEN A CONSIDERABLE LIKING TO THE GIRL.
HIS MAJESTY DID?
HE WAS ABSOLUTELY FRANTIC AS HE ASKED HER THINGS LIKE, "HOW DID YOU GET HURT?" "WHY ARE YOU SO THIN?" "YOU LOOK SO PALE."
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
YOU'RE BEING TOO NAÏVE, YOUR MAJESTY!
IT WAS SO OBVIOUS THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING BETWEEN THEM... UGH!
IS THAT SO...?
IT'S TRUE THERE WAS A DISTINCT CHANGE IN HIS AIR AND MANNER. AND WE ONLY TELL YOU THIS BECAUSE WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR YOU, YOUR MAJESTY.
...BUT IT WOULD BE A RELIEF IF WE WERE CONCERNED OVER NOTHING.
I SEE...
EVEN IF THEIR WORDS ARE TRUE...
SHALL WE GATHER SOME INFORMATION ABOUT HER?
...WHAT COULD I POSSIBLY DO?
NO, BUT I APPRECIATE IT JUST THE SAME.
I'M SURE HE ONLY BROUGHT HER...
...BECAUSE HE IS A COMPASSIONATE PERSON.
Chapter Summary
The Remarried Empress Chapter 1 follows Empress Navier as she shocks the court by accepting Emperor Sovieshu's divorce and requesting approval to remarry. Raised from the Trovi family to marry her childhood companion Sovieshu, she recalls their once close partnership before facing him beside his mistress Rashta. When she names Heinrey as her intended new husband, the court erupts, then the story flashes back months earlier to maids telling Navier about the unkempt girl Sovieshu brought from a hunt.
