Reread the whole manga in one setting and I am super invested in the royal family and who would be the next successor. So King Il told Yona that she could not marry Soowon was because of his wife’s ability to see the future. Now I feel bad for Yona because her father might have only loved her for being the reincarnation of King Hiryuu rather than her being his daughter. I love how complex the story is now and how multi-dimensional the supporting characters are. King Il who was kind in Yona’s eyes, was a religious fanatic who believed in destiny rather than manifesting his own fate. Yu hon who was portrayed as a strict and violent tyrant, was a caring husband and father. Honestly both of them would have been bad kings and I think Soowon’s rule right now isn’t that great either. He is heavily influenced by his advisor and chooses to go to war, while sacrificing many of his men, rather than going for peace talks etc. I think Soowon’s choice of successor would not be Yona, since she is literally everything that he is going against (fate and the crimson dragon)
