Goodreads Synopsis:
A red-haired princess loses her family and her kingdom… Now she must rise and fight for her throne!
Princess Yona lives an ideal life as the only princess of her kingdom. Doted on by her father, the king, and protected by her faithful guard Hak, she cherishes the time spent with the man she loves, Su-won. But everything changes on her 16th birthday when tragedy strikes her family!
Jaeha, the Green Dragon, joins Yona’s party after their harrowing adventure together in Awa. Now the group must find the Yellow Dragon—the last dragon from the prophecy that Ik-su told Yona! Meanwhile, Su-won visits Chishin Palace and tells General Geun-tae, chief of the Earth Tribe, that he should hold a mock battle and festival. But what could be the true intent behind Su-won’s proposition?

Review:
In the first quarter of this volume, we get to meet the fourth
dragon, and get settled a little with Yona and the group. At the end
of the volume, we also get to see how she's dealing with her
interaction with Su-won, and how Hak is reacting as well.
Aside from that, though, the rest of the volume is taken up with
Su-won visiting one of the palaces. He acts like a good guy, not very
serious or smart, when he's really manipulating everything without
them all noticing, up until the end. Mostly it's for good reasons, at
least that we know of so far. It's an interesting plot point, which
was important and makes sense. But it was also boring to me and took
me forever to finish, both because I don't care for Su-won, and
because I had already seen it in the anime.
Hopefully we'll get something new next, and I can't wait to get back
into this.
