Main Remarried empress characters
Navier – The Empress
The main character in the story.
She is the protagonist of the story. At the beginning she is Empress of the Eastern Empire and Sovieshu’s wife, a role she has been educated for since childhood.
When her husband brings a mistress, and wants to make her his official concubine, she is hurt, but assumes that it is normal and that she will have to live with it. But her life gets complicated, Sovieshu plays the fool, to the point of asking for a divorce.
When this happens, she decides to marry King Heinley of the Western Kingdom.
One fandom theory links the cookies from her childhood to possible fertility problems and suggests that Heinrey’s magic bed may later have played a role. The story does not confirm that explanation unequivocally.
She also developes ice magic. Yeah, they will make fun of her.
Mom of the tweens Kai and Lari.
