Suwon has been repeatedly shown to hold his sword close to his chest (if you see the recent trio cover too). Any thoughts on what it may imply?
I guess you mean
Interesting in that pic is that all three hold weapons. Yona of course is the centre piece and appears in a form of armour. She is holding Hiryuu´s sword. Hak is to her right, Soo Won to her left side. Hak definitely stays closer to Yona than Soo Won, who is turning his body partly away. Soo Won is also the only person, who holds his sword with both hands.
And it is definitely the sword of his father, he has in his hands. In the background there is the wide sky with clouds, that are more present at Soo Won´s side. Hak´s weapon is also near Soo Won´s head.
More or less it does seem as if Soo Won is still separated from the other two, despite them being now allies. The separating factor seems to be the earlier twist.
So it does appear that there might be a conversation about their past.
Additionally, Soo Won is in his kingly robes...so his role as a king might be not a thing of the past.
The interesting point is also, that Soo Won and Yona are mirrors to each other in the latest chapter. They even hold the same sword.
They are "body & soul" of Hiryuu - Soo Won is his descendant, Yona own his soul.
And they both tear apart the dragons, who cannot accept the death of Hiryuu
