Tenmaku no Jaadugar - Vol. 3 Ch. 19

[Panino]

Hum... I don't think Tolui's speech about "sin" came out as clear as it should because of one omission.
Is not only that Ögedei was "cursed", he was specifically cursed but a curse "from China", for having attacked China. So Tolui having the greater army and killed more had committed more crimes than Ögedei so he deserved the curse more than him.


Anyway, this is something I'm waiting since the beginning, I want to see how this will play out in this mangá.
Maybe it was Boraqchin who poisoned Ögedei, maybe it was Töregene. Either case it's very easy to suspect that Boraqchin exploited the situation to kill Tolui. Both in the mangá and in the Secret History the whole situation played out too conveniently for everyone else.
This event will have far reaching consequences, eventually Sorghaghtani's sons will come do dominate the Mongols.

It's definitely some thick intrigue.

 

[Amimikamoon]

So that bowl the guy has to drink is actually gonna be spiked with a fatal poison, right?

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[eatgoddamnshit]

Boraqchin is playing them both. She didn't fall for Fatima's bait and set something up. I can't tell what exactly though.

Tolui is "a hero" for the Mongols.
Don't know about drinking from the bowl, but in the Secret History when the shamans "revealed" what the curse demanded for being lift from Ogëdei "coincidently" just at the right moment
Tolui walked in... he hears about the situation, says "makes perfect sense for me" and accepts dying for Ogëdei as a great honor.

It's funny if you think that all the people seeking power killed the only one of Ghengis's sons that didn't want any more power than he already had.
Tolui holding so much power would keep everyone in check, no one would have enough power to challenge anyone else for decades.

And now think about the another irony.
If Sorghaghtani hadn't sent Fatima as a spy maybe Boraqchin would had died and Ogëdei wouldn't poisoned by the realgar. Sorghaghtani desire to "prevent" the family from fighting and killing itself was what started it all.

Noooo I caught up

I don’t like historical series but this is such a gem, battle of wits with the addition that this is based on true events. Author might be reading inaccurate sources but they did a great job with dramatizing the timeline.

That can't end well

It doesn't end well.

Fastest binge I've done in a while. Excellent series, thanks for the translation

 

[AngelHQ]

Thanks again for the scanlation, the plot thickened so much I can't see through it.

https://natalie.mu/comic/news/619974 Never expected this, but it looks like Science Saru will be adapting this.

You are correct! I'm super hyped to see how they will adapt it. I'm think it will be in a similar style to Ranking of Kings, but a lot more grounded. Or like a modern Tezuka anime adaptation. No matter what though even if I'm wrong I do know if anything Science Saru won't fail in impressing me.

Sorghaghtani is like those from European Matters where despite knowing their kingdom would fall, the actions they'll do to prevent it would lead it to destruction regardless. Chaotic Good in a sense.

 

[syncswim]

Oh but if Tolui dies early that means Sorghaghtani, who's already the weakest being the foreign wife of the youngest son, is totally out of the picture right?

Spoiler

Wrong

 

[bwooom]

OH NOOO I'M CAUGHT UP... Hopefully the anime being so soon means more chapters will be translated soon too?!?!?!? Hopefully?!?!?!?!

 

[pataponaccount]

Binged this when the trailer went up. Can't believe this went under my nose... and scanlated by Home Hero no less!

Any chance this'll be picked up again?

 

[Panino]

In retrospect, it seems like this was a master play by Boraqchin.
Se exploited Fatima's position as spy to convince Sorghaghtani it was safe and baited Tolui into going watch the ritual, for him to be the person of blood in the vicinity.

Sorghaghtani desire to "prevent" the family from fighting and killing itself was what started it all.

Actually, Sorghaghtani didn't accept that Tolui wasn't elected Khan and wanted to do something about it.

 

[kl-ai]

to think how things wouldn't have played out if Fatima hadn't helped Boraqchin....she literally unleashed a demon 💀💀
