May we always be blessed with incredibly fluffy moths that make this world worth living in. That is all. 🦋💖

Motte/Gloryem being Rashta and Sovieshu's child and her guilt

Motte aka Gloryem being Sovieshu's child was confirmed in children arc. Long before the "Sovieshu's regression arc".

Many people posed as the lost princess to meet Sovieshu. One of them was Cici, Motte/Gloryem's close friend. But Sovieshu knew it wasn't her but was kind to Cici.

Sovieshu also knew Motte was Gloryem. But she refused to take the throne. She didn't want to take things. She wanted to earn them on her own talent (because of her lari realised how spoiled she was, cause she was just asking her parents to give her both Eastern empire and western kingdom. Said she wanted to conquer the rest on her own. Future tyrant right there. Even Navier realised, lari was basically telling her brother that, she'd cause war and take the kingdom from him. Like what?🤡).

Motte knew, eventually she'd have to reveal her identity to everyone later. So she wanted to be strong of her own first. And out of guilt too. Cause she blames herself for Sovieshu's decreased mental health and Rashta's death. (No baby it wasn't your fault 😭💔). Poor kid 😞. She wanted to be strong, so that she could help others.

She calls Sovieshu as her her father, not Alan. And Rashta as her mother. And blames herself for their current condition. (My heart broke reading that part 😭😭😭). She also feels sad for the grand duchess who spent her life looking for Gloryem.

The immense burden she carries on her own. I'm pretty sure if Sovieshu knew that Motte blames herself for his mental condition, he'd die from heartbreak. Cause no way in hell, he'd blame Gloryem but himself for his current situation. He didn't even blame Rashta for his misery, rather he blamed himself.

Motto looks like Rashta but she, but by nature she is all Sovieshu. Her mannerisms matches with him.

Now I understand why "Sovieshu's regression arc" took place just before the divorce. Alphatart made sure Gloryem grew up with her parents this time.

I don't think she'd hate Navier as a step mom, as Navier feared. I think they'd have an amicable relationship if not close. Rashta might realise later that, Navier is not her enemy. Being away from Lotteshu's blackmail and Ergi's manipulation would calm her down too.

When Sovieshu's regression arc came out, I only focused on Navier and Sovieshu's happy ending but didn't realise how it changed Gloryem's life too! 🥹 And Rashta is finally alive, not dead in a cell. 🤗

Yes I would have preferred if Sovieshu travelled back farther, long before he found Rashta. But I guess the author didn't want to erase Gloryem from existence.

Petty me wants point out that, Alphatart had no problem in erasing the twins from new timeline but didn't erase Gloryem. 😌 She exists in both timeline, thriving and enjoying her life.

She's Sovieshu's kid in both timeline. 🫂

Just a wishful thinking but I hope in future Alphatart writes a sidestory where, Motte and Sovieshu finally have a good relationship with each other. And comes in terms with her mother's past. She doesn't deserve guilt that's burdening her.
