This manga is doing a great job shifting the narrative away from Toregene and Fatima and slowly building up sympathy for the Mongol princes trying to hold together their empire. You can't help but root for Guyuk to strike back, or for the budding historical alliance between Batu and Mongke to later decide the fate of the world. I was worried about it because this is supposd to be Fatima's story, but even in this manga the princes are becoming the great Khans they would be remembered as. Fatima is really starting to come off as the witch.

It's also doing a bold job remembering that, unlike in later Western historiography, from the Mongols' own historical memory Batu was actually in charge of the expedition at this stage and wasn't just some figurehead for Subutai. Eastern European chroniclers (especially Soviet ones) tend to lionize Subutai because he was being used as a precursor and model for the WW2 heroes of the USSR, particularly Zhukov, but Mongols remembered things differently.

The previous chapters haven't been translated yet but Guyuk's point of view effectively strips away whatever sympathy and even the illusion of competence that Toregene and Sitara have at this point.

Sitara's plan is doomed to fail with Guyuk now being 100% in opposition to her but also as a result of her foolishly poisoning Shira just because he forgave the Mongols and he asked her to come to Persia. . She created two enemies and the poor fool isn't even aware.

For all of Sitara's knowledge and arrogance, she remains the impulsive slave that led her mistress to her death in early chapters. Except she is gone from victim to villain.

Ngl from page 20 I just realized how much Güyük looks like Ögedei.
Stupidly round pouty face with sleepy eyes and thick eyebrows.
Ogedei is multiplying through mitosis

I switched the way I call her (which the manga has also been doing) because at this point in the story the justifiably vengeful girl Sitara is already gone and it's Fatima the witch we're seeing.

This is the first interaction between the kingmaker Batu and the next Khatun Guyuk. These two seriously hated each other to point of nearly going to war which would've changed history if it did happen. I want to see more between them. Of course, Mongke too

Guyuk is finally looking more manly in this chapter from the usual cowardly boy he's always been.
Maybe he'll be manly enough to inherit the Mongol steppes, huh? :meguusmug:
