I started thinking this way when Rashta's origins were revealed and the characters reactions were appalling to say the least. No one was shocked or disgusted by the fact that slavery existed in their kingdom, not even the Empress our heroine, but instead saw it as an embarrassment for Rashta. How is her being a slave embarrassing, but not embarrassing for the Emperor or the Empress that they allowed slavery in their kingdom. How quickly people turned Rashta's suffering into an insult was disgusting. How can I root for the Empress if her people are so awful. And if I'm to believe that the Empress doesn't see a problem with people owning slaves, as she's is pretty nonchalant about it, then I can't see her as a good person. And I can't blame Rashta for wanting to get out of that bad situation, even if it makes her a mistress.
The Empress even remarks and belittles Rashta for her lack of knowledge, which she knows is because Rashta was born a slave. That's extremely classist and elitist of her. In this era of 'tax the rich' I'm really surprised at this webtoon's popularity.
People may argue it's for realism that the Empress acts this way, but people turn into the birds in this webtoon. So magic is allowed to exist, but our Empress has to have old-fashioned classist views. Great thanks, I hate it here.
