Sovieshu and his mistakes

Yes, Sovieshu the emperor of the East, also called Soviet, Sovietshu, or Soviet screwed up to the bottom. And on top of that he dares to wonder what he did wrong? Well, let’s know a little more about him, and then let’s make a list…

Who is Sovieshu

Sovieshu Vikt (can also be translated as Soviets or Sovietsu) is the current emperor of the Eastern Empire and ex-husband of the protagonist Navier. He is the one who gives rise to the story by bringing in a prospective lover during the absence of his then-wife, triggering the series of events that lead to the actual divorce taking place and the protagonist being able to marry again.

About Sovieshu

He is the successor and only son of Emperor Osis III and his wife (name still unknown, although there is evidence that he is related to the Trovi house, from which Navier originates). He is 25 years old and his physical appearance is tall, athletic and elegant, with pale skin, jet black hair and gray eyes.

His personality is difficult and contradictory, as he is extremely arrogant and does not like to be told that he is wrong, in addition to the fact that at the beginning of the story he is shown as someone selfish who seeks affection and constant attention, which he does not find in his wife, thus bringing a lover of simple actions and that give him what he needs to feed his ego. However, he tends to show compassion and for helpless beings, as well as implement actions that protect the things he considers most valuable.

Sovieshu Emperor of the East

As emperor he has a better behavior, since he looks for the welfare of his people, is dedicated and is aware of what is happening in his empire, however his judgment is clouded by the feelings he has for Rastha and later by the departure of Navier, which causes him to step away from the throne to heal physically and emotionally.

Failed arranged marriage

His personal relationships were full of mistakes and constant miscommunication, which led him to the worst possible results, caused by his impulsive and irrational actions. In the first place we will mention Navier, who was his life partner since childhood, with whom he shared many moments and strict education to become the best emperors, generating that both were prepared to rule, but not to express their emotions, nor to cope with a marriage.

It is clear that despite being an arranged marriage, mutual feelings did develop, but due to his mistakes, it was too late when he was able to identify them and try to express them.

Rashta, the lover

As for Rastha, the mistress and later official concubine, Sovieshu also developed feelings for her. Although less deep than those he had for Navier.

However, the intensity with which he lived constantly clouded his judgment, implementing actions that hurt the person he loved the most by pushing her away from his side.

He hid several crimes committed by the albino, hoping that the baby she carried in her womb would be worth every justification and sacrifice. When he found out that Glorym was not his daughter, together with the confirmation of his suspicions of sterility (caused by some cookies he consumed as a child, which had substances that caused infertility) and the birth of his ex-wife’s children, lead him to a severe depression full of alcoholism, which causes constant delirium until he almost died after falling from a balcony.

Memory loss

The fall causes him to have a temporary regression in his memory and during the day he has the consciousness of his 19 year old self, while at night the mature and experienced man. All the events that occurred and his bipartite memory force him to stay away from the throne for a while, as well as contemplate the idea of leaving his empire in the hands of one of the crown princes of the West.
