Things to Note

- All names are redacted except for Kija's own if it's mentioned and 'Tetora'. Titles remain!
- PLEASE IGNORE THE OFFICIAL TRANSLATION OF NAMES ANYWAY THEY ARE HORRIBLE. Sinha = Shin-ah

Summary

- A battle has clearly been waging at a fort! Shin-Ah (Abi here in Imeeji) is currently grouped with Kija.

- They are seeking information from Tetora when they... LE GASP. Come across the King. Who is also the one responsible for murdering Yona (Hiryuu's) father and taking the throne for himself and running Hak and Yona fromt he castle.

- Immediately Kija goes into MUST DESTROY MODE because this person is responsible for so much tragedy to the people he loves the most...!

- Everyone calls him a monster due to his claw and weapons are training on him until the King tells everyone to lower their weapons. Then he just... HOLDS HIS HAND.

- He's flustered and not sure how to react to the king verifying that he's in fact Hakuryuu. The King asks who it is they serve and Kija explains that it is not him, and thus he is not the rightful ruler. But that the person he serves is someone he knows well.

- The king finally turns to leave and Kija calls out to him to once again make it clear that he is not that person or the rightful person of the throne. But the king tells him he doesn't necessarily desire the throne. All he wants is to make a strong country incapable of being invaded. He then also explains that he won't deny the dragons but that he doesn't desire their power. On the contrary, he doesn't desire the power of the gods. He only desires the power of the people and leaves.

- Kija feels complicated and vexed after this. He asks for Shin-Ah's impression of him, and Shin-aH tells him he didn't get a bad feeling, which is how Kija felt as well. It's frustrating, but he somehow reminded him of the princess... and he's difficult to look away from.

Commentary:

- Vexed!! Why does the presence of the king remind him of the princess so much?
- More people calling him a monster, these people have no class hmph
- Unsure what to think of the king. Everything he has seen so far has shown him making a good king, but he still did something so awful.
- Unsure how to feel about the king proclaiming that the presence of the dragons is unneeded and that he doesn't desire god's help...

Effects: Mostly wants to learn more about the King. Feels complicated regarding it all.
