loved navier? from what i've seen, he doesn't really seem interested in rashta and it's more of a puppy love if anything. his real love is navier but because she's so cold and hinged on acting like an empress, sovieshu doesn't know what to do and acts like a dumb fck. he's not like all other shitty exes in these villainess stories where he goes to far (at least up until where i've read), but he's really bad at communicating and taking steps to understanding navier. they had a nice childhood together and we can see that they're able to recount fond memories of earlier times, but then sovieshu gets a side hoe because he's frustrated with the lack of affection from navier and can't protect her "as a man should". imo, getting a concubine made things worse if he wanted to satisfy his dumb pride and to make navier jealous/show emotion towards him. idk what exactly sovieshu's feelings are, but it succeeded in driving navier away ig.
