If you have been keeping up with Thalia and Barkas, you know the story centers on the intense political and emotional fallout after a devastating wyvern attack. Following the attack that injured Thalia, the emperor forced Barkas to take responsibility, breaking his engagement to Thalia’s older sister and arranging his marriage to Thalia instead. The recent chapters have focused on the newly married couple as they arrive in Sykan, Barkas’s childhood home in the east, where they must navigate local hostility and Barkas’s complex, guarded feelings toward his new wife.

Why The Forgotten Field Chapter 23 Matters
The manhwa adaptation by SPOON (based on the original novel by Kim Suji) has just launched this May and is already drawing massive attention for its gorgeous art and tense narrative. The recent chapters have focused heavily on the cultural shock of arriving in the eastern fortress of Sykan and the awkward, tentative dynamic between the newlyweds.
What makes The Forgotten Field Chapter 23 so critical? Because the manhwa is adapting an ongoing web novel, readers know the slow-burn tension is about to ramp up. This chapter aligns with the early Sykan arc, marking a major shift as Barkas attempts to consolidate his power in the east while dealing with the local lords’ skepticism regarding his sudden marriage to Thalia instead of her sister.
The Forgotten Field Chapter 23 Spoilers (Based on the Novel)
According to the original novel chapters, here is what you can expect from this highly anticipated release:
The Journey to Sykan
Spoilers indicate that Chapter 23 will continue exploring the aftermath of their arrival in the dense forests of Sykan. Contrary to expectations, the physical journey went smoothly despite the thick, tar-like darkness of the nights. The chapter highlights the stark contrast between the imperial capital and the rugged, dwarven-built fortress of Sykan, setting the stage for the political challenges ahead.
Hidden Desires
The core tension of the series is watching the notoriously cold Barkas struggle with his suppressed emotions. Fans anticipate a deeply satisfying sequence in Chapter 23 where Barkas continues to keep Thalia hidden under a cape. Opposing forces and curious relatives try to catch a glimpse of her, only for Barkas to assert his authority, driven by a newfound possessiveness and his desire to keep her hidden until he fully takes the initiative in the east.
