My dumbass read the whole thing but didn't understand that Zeno had to live because of yona's wish only until I read y'all's comments
No no I don't think ya'll were really comprehending tho, you read but did you comprehend? Anyways the first king knew Zeno would be left alone meaning homeboy was already set to live forever and the king didn't want to leave him all alone after him and all 4 of the dragons were gone. Anyways hope this helps
