Hak: I trust them about as far as I can throw them.

Rapa: …I’m sorry to hear that…

Enemy Soldier 2: I did.

Enemy Soldier 1: Princess Yona’s Thunder Beast?

Enemy Soldier 2: That's right.

This is just a small theory but I hope it’s true:         So I think that when Soowon said to Geun-Tae that he has no intention of having a successor because he has an idea of who he wants to be King, he meant Hak. I know it sounds crazy but listen, he refused to marry Yona and kept trying to bring Hak and Yona together. He didn’t bother to hold search parties for Yona and Hak for too long which kind of to me suggests that he wanted them to stay alive together. IDK what do yall think of this….

Okay so first of all: HELL YES!!!! Honestly with the way things are going that would make a lot of sense and would tie out the story quite nicely I think. And Soo-Won definitely seems the type to have planned out an end game for all of this, especially with his… uh… condition. Also, given that this story is about Yona, I think her succeeding as Queen is quite likely already (and since Hak is the love interest, he’d be King) but let’s do an analysis anyway for shits and giggles. [WARNING: Avast! Manga spoilers ahead!]

My customary disclaimer: What you’re about to read is about 98% bullshit I wrote in 20 minutes, 1.5% recall from my last reading of the manga (which feels like decades ago), and 0.5% really bad math. @incorrect-akatsuki-no-yona​ is not liable for any braincell loss incurred through reading this nonsense.

Okay so let’s start with the evidence. What we know so far about Soo-Won’s situation:

- The royal family is super messed up. We’ve got Yu-Hon (who was cool for about 3 chapters before going right back to asshole territory) committing genocide for his One Tru Luv. Then there’s Il, a religious fanatic(?) who married a woman just so they could produce a baby dragon reincarnation (creepy) and probably had a hand in his brother’s death at some point. 10/10 good job team. I’m glad to see everyone is using their words.

- Soo-Won killed King Il likely for two main reasons: 1. revenge for whatever the heck happened between Il and Yu-Hon, and 2. because he wanted to Bob the Builder fix Kouka kingdom, which admittedly, he’s done quite well at

- At some point, Soo-Won found out about the legend of the dragons and the truth of his heritage. Whether this is before or after his illness presented itself, we don’t know.

Now, onto your theory: Soo-Won planning to have Hak and Yona succeed him.

All in all, I think it’s safe to say that whatever Soo-Won’s end game is, he probably doesn’t expect to survive and has planned accordingly. I think it’s also important to acknowledge at this point that Soo-Won is probably the character (who’s currently alive) with the most complete knowledge of what has really happened in the past, and maybe has an idea of what might happen in the future (Ik-Soo always excepted, because having divine revelations is cheating).

it seems like you'd have very good fanfic, do you have an AO3 account? if so, what's the @?

Hi anon!

Sorry it took us this long to reply to your message, glad you’re enjoying the blog (as unattended as it is lol) <3

We don’t have a AO3 account ourselves per say but I know that we have a lot of talented authors in the community! If anyone would like to reblog/comment with their fics/akayona recs please feel free!

Jae-Ha: That must make me Helen!

Shin-ah: What’s a Trojan Horse?
