I thought at first that 0.02% is small right? But them if you calculate that to 2 billion it’s 40 million. So I kind of understand their concern since it came from the taxes of their people? Or is their system different from ours? But them this is the only time she spend this much after 3 yrs of being an empress so complaining is jut them being greedy about the empress position.
Actually Marie Antoinette was famously blamed for the decline of France due to her “extravagance”. She really only spent a typical amount for noble women of her time. In reality, aiding the american revolution along with other poor finance choices really hit the final nail in the coffin. Thinking that even the most luxurious of dresses can empty out the treasury of a long-standing empire is ridiculous if you think about it.
Lets analyze for a moment about a dozen preordered unique designs of both jewelry and gowns made of high end materials that are being made quickly that were ordered by calling the designer to the home of the customer and all finished products are being brought directly to the home of the customer. Thats a massive amount of cost and upcharges for the extra services. And thats per item. And all of that is .02% in value of the “military” budget which by the way would only be the largest budget if they are at war currently or recently or often enough to warrant it.
Forgot for a hot moment that he’s supposed to be a tyrant. Honestly, better than the tyrants who commit genocide and war crimes and then become soft uwu boys for the fl with no repercussions.
Also, the translators confusing “Empress” with “Queen” is bound to cause confusion down the road.
Nope, nope nope. Butting heads with the other-woman is just lowly. I don’t care if it’s a part of her strategy, she would’ve made much more progress had she ignored the whole lot of them rather than making so much noise to make it seem like she’s throwing a jealous tantrum. Now, he’s defending her only because his ego is inflated thinking that her actions are her attempt at begging for his attention..
She wouldn’t have, though. She genuinely has to make him close to hate her if she is to get away. She cannot divorce alone, and it is explained pretty well that her old palace was so bad off it was a disease deathtrap. Besides, the other woman didn’t even show this chapter.
in the original novel being ignored got her killed and unloved anyway. She is just trying to do what she can to get divorced and since her only knowledge of this guy isn’t past memories but the like short time he treats her in the book she assumes that butting heads with the woman he “loves” will get her spurned and tossed out not turn this guy into a semi masochist who is into all this.
have you been reading the story? the other woman is a cheating bitch and so is her husband and apparently the only way she can gain freedom is by acting like an absolute menace. The last time she was silent and obedient didn’t she die? she could’ve gotten revenge in a much better way, that is true, but it isn’t her fault that the emperor is so full of himself to believe that she is still in love with him.
She can’t get a divorce since this is based on past customs….she needs to be the most obnoxious person in existence without committing any crimes….like starting a war or something.
The fact that they were rioting over a mere ZERO. POINT. ZERO. TWO percent of military expenses was just ridiculous from the start. Im glad Alexander had some sense in him to not be swayed so easily
i know right. As much as I hate the king, I really gotta give him props for that one. Fighting over a 0.02 is just ridiculous, those nobles are only exaggerating what she does in order to put the other hoe on the throne.

If they’re freaking out over 0.02% of money being spent then maybe they should all be fired. It’s not like the empire is in a recession

I mean he does kind of have a point. 14 dresses puts a dent in kingdoms coffers?
