I mean, if shuraka's bride died from poison or assassination that'd basically send the message that not only he's not able to protect not even those closest to him but that he's an easy target himself. it's political intrigue so obviously is not gonna be on the face but it makes sense.
also it's only chapter seven so it's going to take a while for all the pieces to come together
So as much as I wanna glorify this after reading it too many times, I will state this - the age gap doesn’t bother me. What bothered me though was Tei’s purpose the last 3 years he was with Shuraka. Like the panels showed most assasination attempts directed to him except their wedding day cos it was directed to both right. They didnt explain further why he should be disposed of because lets be realistic here 1. he a man who cant bear a child (so whats his purpose really- this aint abo) 2. what is his political significance aside from being an alliance. cos it hasn shown whether he manipulated the court in Arnata on his end. And when he returned to Leracal, he was useless as a political ally because he couldn’t do anything politically on his end to send support to Arnata (except prayers).
So I need more flashbacks else I’m dropping this. Cos I want me some delicious angst and exceptional storytelling… Like give me some juicy deets on the downlow the last 12 years…
