Now I remember why I dislike yona, saving that woman could mean the fall of kouka but she ...

Bro the issue is that killing her is actually more dumb like politically? She hasn’t done anything and if she dies the country she’s from will be mad

agreed, how does it mean the fall of kouka? it means the fall of soo-won's bitchass and yona could become the sovereign with hak and the four dragons by her side. they literally could not lose

Stay pressed bro, yona has made way better decisions than soo won has this whole arc

They are having a war anyways, so even if the country she's from is enrage and wants revange, that literally won't change a thing bc those 2 countries are going to war, on the other hand, if they let that woman on the lose then she's going to inform the enemy country about the weakness of the king, and that could mean that kouka could lose the war

Yona knows how to make plants with a small number of ppl, she can make plans with Yoon, hak and the 4 dragons and be victorious In a small conflict BUT we're talking about a war here, she doesn't know how to run a country And less like running a country that's in the middle of a war comflicto, it would be a total desaster, specially bc the solders fight for the generals of their tribe, and 3 of the 5 generals a loyal to soo won....

Are you talking about this arc? Only about this arc? OK, can u give me some examples coz I can't remember (I'm not being sarcastic, this arc has been so long that I can't remember).
But I guess it doesn't really matter, anyone can see that the decision of letting go a 'high ranked person of an enemy country with valuable info of YOUR country in the middle of a war' is a decision dumb as hell, but yona is the MC so everything will go her way one way or another

I agree with this.. With the whole burial ceremony and all Soo Won could gain time/a chance to reconcile with Kai but if he killed her then that however little chance would have also slipped away.. It's better to avoid war and save the many lives of the kingdom, right?

I don't think of it as "saving her" or "letting her go", she wouldn't do that, she just prevented them from murdering her so quickly without thinking of the consequences.
Yes they are almost at war, but they are trying to avoid it, making peace with the other country, if they had killed her, since she's the consort (she is right? I'm not sure) it would've been disastrous, forget about peace, they would've gone straight to war, and the other country would be driven by vengeance and there would'nt be any chance at avoiding it or trying to make peace.
So yeah, I think what she did was smart, keeping her contained until they decide what is the best course of action, it's not that difficult to kill her without making the other country mad, just stage some sourt ot "incident" and it would be resolved. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

I understand what you mean but koi even killed one of their own ppl just to have a excuse to go to war, koi is not trying to avoid war and its not interested in "Pease" since it wants kouka territory for themselves, remember that so woon just prepare the burrial to make time bc as soon as those representatives go back to koi tha war starts, plus soo won also wants the war to happen since is his chance to settle things with the koi empire once and for all (the war was going to happen anyway, so he prefer to let it happen while he can still fight) so with both leader wanting for the war to happen its just a matter of time, peace is not an option anymore

Okay but the lady herself (i dont remember her name) doesn’t have any loyal ties to that country. She doesnt have a motive to spill this information. She’s not so stupid to go and run her mouth that won’t amount to anything (especially since she used to be a general(?) or a person with a rank before she got reduced to some dude’s wife) she knows that they don’t like her and won’t care about her benefits or costs. She has a blood bias towards soo won and wont just let a whole country who hosts the history of the crimson king just crumble like that. And the thing about Yona,
1) she went as a representative of soo won instead of him, so his bad condition wouldnt be noticed - hence preventing what you said would happen just now.

2) she isnt getting in anything’s way, she was involved in this since the beginning. Just cuz soo won said she isnt a part of it doesnt mean crap - she, as the reincarnation of the crimson king, whether soo won likes it or not, has a part to play in the rise of the kouka again. His own plan in his head just never involved her, he never expected her to grow into the person she is today, so obviously the power (physical and royalty wise) is changing things more than he expected, he is just frustrated and needs to stop excluding her from the kingdom’s affairs.


This is the arc where she learns what it is to be a ruler. She never wanted the throne in the first place - she was even forced into the castle because thwre just wasnt any other way (the dragons got too popular so everyone was after them in the streets.) And well - you could say “theyre the mc so it’ll work out” for any of these characters. Main Cast i mean :/

By my comments I guess you can see I'm not in the biggest fan of yona, but I don't hate her either, I acknowledge her decisions when they are right, the problem is, it doesn't matter what decisions she takes she's always gonna be right and that's what bugs me.
Regarding the other girl, can tell she's not gonna spill the beans bc YOU as a reader know some of her back story by soo 2on has had 1 interaction with her (and in that interaction she asked for yona to be dead and started to scream as crazy), yona has also talk to her once (and the woman was rude as hell) the second time she hears the woman talk she is planning yona's death. Like how does she think she can trust her with an important info if she has acted like a crazy person the 2 times she has seen her.
Yona was wrong and the proof was that she escape prison, and could easily escape kouka and as vengeance go with the info to her country, but yona is the MC so the plot is going to interfere and now that she founf hak she's probably gonna become a "good person" and not spill the beans, and ppl are gonna say yona was right since the beginning....

İm making inferences just as you are. And my main issues with what you initially said was i thought you hated her; if not then oh ok you do you.

But bro we dont know her backstory either, yona and soo won heard the conversation and the stuff i pulled out to “assume/infer” where she is loyal to would be her bloodline. So İ GUESSED that maybe they wont care. Also, you cant take back killing someone, but you can kill them later.

Thats off topic though, i already addressed the stuff you said in my reply so idk why youre bringing up “vengeance” over and over again. You dont know that, youre also a reader like me and can make “guesses.” Also, she isnt even a bad person - sure she is acting out of line but you read the same panels, you know why she’s upset. So if the reason shes upset fixed, then yes youre right. İn fact she might even HELP them out. This isnt “a plot making it work out” this is a very real development that does happen in real life.

....not necessarily? They still don’t know who killed the dude and the funeral was a clear attempt to AVOID war

In chap 199 is clearly stated that they give in the poison before he came to the castle so they could have an exuce for war.

English isnt my first language, that maybe why you didn't understood what I was trying to say.
WE, as readers saw some panels explaining a little bit of her story (that she was a general before and was degraded as a consort, that she hates the koi empire and we can see her inner dialogues to know her true intentions) but yona and soo won only have had little interaction with her and dont understand her motives or if what she said it's true that's why they have no reason to trust her, that's what I mean. ( I said this bc in your Othe comment you were stating the reasons why the lady won't tell the info, and why yona's decision of not killing her was right)

And with "revenge" I meant that she trusted soo won bc they had the same blood, that's why she did something as risky as to talk to him about betrayin Kai empire, but he refused her and almost killed her, that's why could scape kouka and reveal the kings weakness as a "revange"

Yah and the funeral is an attempt to avoid it

Okay first, what would happen if they reveal the weakness? Would Soo Won suddenly be unable to go to war or smth? Second, revealing his weakness would require her to reveal her own Bc how else would she know? She’s too prideful to do that and we can all see it. Third, not understanding her motives is why they didn’t kill her, understanding her background might in some way help them and that’s why she’s in jail.

That makes sense
