#Akayona 198:

The way Yona re-established her worth in the presence of the same men who not only were going to kill her, but drove her out of her own home - Queen Shit.

I know Yona had such great moments in this chapter but I think her strongest moment and my personal favorite is when she told Kyshook to stfu. So glorious.

Yona taking charge and attending the meeting to negotiate on behalf of Soowon is so great as she not only re-establishes herself as a key member of the Royal Family but making it clear to others that she's as fit to rule Kouka as Soowon.

At the same time, I do have to admit at the utter convenience of the turn of events; Soowon getting so sick even quicker than expected so he can't attend the one meeting with Kai ambassadors that were involved with the conflict that Yona had also taken part in. Yeah.

Soowon's early onset illness of the CD is SO suspicious and almost makes me think that there's something more to this. It's very likely that he'd get cured but then makes me think about what could possible come next in terms of his relationship with Yona.

Yona has said before she doesn't really want the throne but if that changes in the future, it would be SO interesting to see how it would all play out, especially as war with the Kai empire seems inevitable.

At this point, I just want Yona and Soowon to become strong allies. I mean the way they exhibit the exact same energy with those killer smiles, clearly it runs in the family.
