She attempts to run away, only to be chased and nearly killed by Su-Won’s guards. Instead, she walks in on Su-Won driving a sword through King Il’s chest, revealing that he’d planned a Coup d’état and would become Kouka’s next King. That night, Yona visits her father’s chambers again, determined to convince him to change his mind. Upon revealing her intention to someday marry him to her father, Yona is shocked and dismayed when King Il pointedly forbids her from choosing Su-Won as a husband. During a party celebrating her sixteenth birthday, her other childhood friend and crush of many years, Su-Won, comes to pay tribute to her. Yona lives the carefree life of a princess in Hiryuu Castle, being sheltered by her pacifistic father, King Il, and protected by her bodyguard and childhood friend Hak. Set in a fictional nation that draws inspiration from a mixture of Japanese, Korean and Chinese cultures, the story follows the redemption of Yona, the sole princess to the Kingdom of Kouka.
