The Main Characters That Only I Know Chapter 406:

“You…!”

Seo Sumin glared at Yu-hyun with a fierce look and strode towards him.

I didn’t expect a touching reunion, but I thought it might turn into a hostile one.

As soon as I had that thought, Seo Sumin’s hand slapped my left cheek hard.

Slap!

A crisp sound echoed.

It was not just a slap, but a slap from a Heavenly Demon

A Heavenly Demon that could strike with great force.

“Hmm. Are you feeling better now?”

Slap!

This ti, the other cheek felt a sharp pain.

I guess it was the right cheek’s turn after the left one.

I knew this was all my fault, so I decided to humbly accept it.

Surely, she wouldn’t hit more, right?

I had a strange worry for a mont, but then Seo Sumin hugged tightly.

After both cheeks, it was a fierce hug.

“Kukuk.”

Kay, who was watching the scene from behind, laughed and snickered.

He seed to find it very amusing.

I tried to glare at Kay, but I gave up because of Seo Sumin’s arms that were squeezing .

“You stupid idiot. Why did you take so long?”

“…I’m sorry for being late.”

That was all I could say.

Seo Sumin had grown a lot since I last saw her.

She used to be shorter than , but now she is taller.

She must have eaten well and grown well, because Seo Sumin had beco a beautiful woman.

She had always shown signs of that, but I only rembered her as a student, so it was hard for to adjust to the change.

Seo Sumin loosened her arms and moved slightly away from .

I smiled silently.

“You’ve grown a lot.”

“That’s because ti has passed.”

“You look good.”

“Hmph. Of course I do.”

Seo Sumin flipped her hair back with a showy gesture.

She looked very similar to the previous life version of her that I saw in the nightmare of the Heavenly Demon

The only differences were that her hair color was white now and that she wore comfortable clothes for fighting instead of the black robe that exuded dignity.

“I heard the story. You restored Hye-rim unni to her original state.”

“Yes. Hye-rim is fine now. So you don’t have to chase Mara Papias desperately anymore.”

“What exactly happened? I only heard bits and pieces, so I don’t know the details.”

“I was going to explain everything as soon as I t you.”

I glanced at Kay.

He shrugged his shoulders and discreetly left the room.

When we were alone, I told Seo Sumin everything that had happened so far.

Who I t after I woke up, what I went through on my way here, everything.

The story was not long.

Ten minutes.

Maybe that much ti had passed.

When I finished my story, Seo Sumin sighed with pity on her face.

“It must have been hard for you.”

“It wasn’t that bad.”

“You’re still hiding your pain as always.”

“…”

Seo Sumin looked at with a sad expression.

She knew what had happened to from my calm words, but she could read the sorrow behind them.

To kill a precious person who had changed by my own hands.

To almost lose a precious friend to an invincible enemy.

To be absent from that place and ti, to be weak.

To fail to protect what I had in my hands.

She had given up many things because she had power, but how could she not know the sadness of those who had no power?

“It’s okay to cry if you’re sad.”

“At first, I thought so too.”

I smiled bitterly.

“But my precious friend wished that I wouldn’t cry before she left.”

“…I see.”

Seo Sumin didn’t ask who that friend was.

No one else knew about Baekryeon’s existence.

She was only audible to , so I couldn’t introduce her to anyone else.

And Baekryeon sacrificed herself to save Baek Seo-ryeon.

And before she left, she asked not to cry.

So I decided not to shed any more tears as she wished.

I didn’t think of it as a heavy burden. It was a promise.

A promise not to waste her sacrifice.

“Are the others okay?”

“They’re all healthy. They suffered so damage in the civil war, but none of the people we knew were hurt or injured.”

The dead people were unfortunate, but there was no room for them to care about them now.

‘Seo Sumin is like that,’ I nodded and closed my mouth.

After waking up five years later, I felt like I had experienced all the past years at once, as I was swept up by all kinds of things.

Seo Sumin could tell.

The mont she saw , she felt that my atmosphere had changed from before.

I must have gone through a lot and endured a lot of sorrow.

She didn’t know what to say to comfort .

“You’ve beco much stronger while I was gone.”

“Do I look like that?”

“Yes. You didn’t just enter the territory of the Heavenly Demon with your bare body for nothing.”

“…Yeah. But I couldn’t catch the bastard I had to catch the most.”

Seo Sumin clenched her fist and spat out, but soon realized that there was no need for that and chuckled.

“Since Hye-rim unni escaped from the devil’s curse, I don’t have to chase him desperately anymore.”

“Yes. But that doesn’t an I’ll let him go. He crossed the line.”

“Right. He has to pay for ssing with us.”

They both knew what the price was.

Mara Papyas was their enemy.

Even if Hye-rim escaped from the curse, she couldn’t go back to the way she was before, and there was no guarantee that Mara Papias would stay still.

Considering his personality, he would rather grind his teeth and look for a chance to get revenge on them.

In the end, the fight was not over until one of them died.

“So what are you going to do now?”

“First of all, you have to go to the alliance.”

“ alone? What about you?”

“I have soone else to et. Well, I don’t know if he’s a person. Anyway… I can’t go back right away.”

“Who are you going to et?”

“Have you ever heard of the false prophet?”

At that, Seo Sumin shook her head. She hadn’t heard of it either, and I didn’t regret it.

“I’m going to find the person who calls himself the false prophet. And while I’m at it, I’m going to see Satan too.”

“Are you sure you don’t need to co with you?”

“I can take care of myself without sticking to you, Ms. Sumin. The important thing is the situation of the alliance. You must have heard the news that the altar has moved. I think you know what that ans.”

“Yeah. It’s surprising. The altar, which had been quiet until now, suddenly moved and even wiped out the Salio Empire.”

“The alliance is not in a good position. The Salio Empire was a pillar of the alliance, after all. They are gone, and the alliance’s power has been greatly reduced by the internal strife.”

Especially, it was a big blow that Hercules intervened and killed the lords.

He also suffered so loss of power and retreated, but how could that compare to human lives?

“For now, thanks to Mr. Sun Wukong, there are no one who dares to eye the alliance, but that will eventually be a matter of ti.”

“Right. There will be those who slowly extend their tentacles again.”

“That’s why the alliance needs your help now, Ms. Sumin. No, for the future.”

“The future? What else is there to happen here?”

“The situation in the mixed world is not good. It’s not sothing that will end with a simple happening. Maybe sothing that can’t even compare to the civil war of the alliance… Sothing like that will happen. I’m sure of it.”

“…I see.”

Sumin nodded with a heavy expression.

She also knew that Yu-hyun’s words were not guesses.

She felt that the atmosphere around her was flowing strangely even while she was staying in Calot’s inner castle.

As soon as their conversation ended, Kay, who was waiting outside, opened the door and ca in.

“So, is the love fight over now?”

“It’s not like that.”

“Hmph.”

Yu-hyun naturally denied it, and Sumin responded with a snort.

“Well, I’m sorry to ruin your touching reunion. No, is it not touching? Anyway, I’d like to give you more ti for your reunion, but unfortunately, it’s not the mood right now.”

“What happened?”

“It’s not a big deal. But I think you should know that you won’t be able to stay in this Calot castle for long.”

“Sir Kay!”

Then soone ran from across the hallway calling Kay’s na.

It was a familiar voice, and Yu-hyun wondered who it was. It was soone he knew.

“Gareth?”

“Huh! K-kang Yu-hyun Teller? No, how did you get here? Anyway, nice to et you! Oh! This is not it! Sir Kay! Did you hear the news?”

“What are you doing with your pretty hand? The news is the news, but I told you not to make noise while running around in my inner castle.”

“How can you say that when you’re still teasing with such an embarrassing nickna? Anyway, the king has ordered!”

“The king? What kind of order is that so urgent?”

“He said he would hold a round table eting.”

“…A round table eting?”

Kay frowned visibly. Yu-hyun and Sumin looked at him with curious eyes. Kay quickly relaxed his expression and waved his hand as if telling them not to worry.

“No, it’s just that he suddenly did sothing he didn’t do before.”

“A eting is not a big deal, right?”

“It would be if it was just a eting. But a round table eting is different. First of all, since it has the na of the round table, all the knights of the round table have to gather compulsorily. And the knights of the round table are the pillars of our Mabinogion Calot.”

A round table eting was much heavier than a normal eting and dealt with topics that suited it.

The eting that gathered only the pillars of Calot was naturally held only under Arthur’s supervision, and even Arthur did not hold a round table eting unless the situation was serious enough.

The fact that a round table eting was held ant that sothing had happened that could not be done without holding one.

For example, a war that would put Calot in danger.

“Tsk. I guess there’s no way around it. Guests, please stay here quietly for now. I’ll finish the eting as soon as possible and send you off.”

“Sir Kay…”

Gareth cautiously called Kay’s na. Kay glared at him impatiently.

“What? Just say it quickly.”

“Well… The king said he wanted to see the guests too.”

“Arthur did?”

Kay corrected Gareth’s words hastily as he glanced around.

“Sir Kay! You can’t call the king’s na so casually!”

“So what? He’s my brother. If he doesn’t like it, let him call brother.”

“Even so…”

“It’s funny that you respect Lancelot more than the king who betrayed him and call him by his na now.”

“…”

Gareth’s face darkened at the ntion of Lancelot.

Kay sighed.

“Ha. Fine. Anyway, if Arthur called them himself, there’s nothing we can do. Guests. Please co with us for a while.”

“Do you know why he called us?”

“If I knew, I would have explained it here. To be honest, I don’t even know what Arthur is thinking. So just follow him for now.”

Yu-hyun and Sumin exchanged glances.

It seed like sothing was going on. Or, sothing was about to happen.

But as long as they were staying here as guests, they couldn’t refuse the call of the king of Calot.

The two agreed to go and see for themselves and followed Kay.

The corridor of the silver castle was filled with light from the windows outside. And so knights who were busy moving around recognized Kay and Gareth and saluted them.

‘Maybe the knights in the castle are also confused by the round table eting.’

Yu-hyun glanced over the window at the scenery outside. The whole of Calot seed to be in turmoil since the rumor of the round table eting spread.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the round table eting hall.

Kay led the way and opened the large sliding door with force.

The scene inside ca into view.

The eting hall was dark due to the poor sunlight.

The only thing that could be called light was the vertical beam that shone through the open ceiling.

Under the natural lighting, there was a huge round table, and around the round table, there were 13 chairs prepared.

And on each round table, there were knights in armor sitting.

Among them was Percival, the long-haired young man who had t them before.

‘Those are the knights of the round table.’

Calot, which was one of the pillars of the Great Army Mabinogion, and among them, 13 knights who were known to be strong. They looked as formidable as their reputation.

However, so of the 13 chairs were still empty.

‘It’s not that we’re late… Is it impossible for all 13 knights to gather?’

Yu-hyun, who knew a bit about Calot’s legend, or more precisely, Arthur’s story, knew what the empty seats ant.

The knight of betrayal Lancelot, the traitor Mordred, the adulterer Agravain.

The ones who were not there were these three.

However, these three vacancies were always there or not, and the rest did not care.

“Where is the king?”

Kay went to his assigned seat and sat down.

He looked at the most splendid empty seat and asked.

The one who held the eting was supposed to be the king, but he had not shown up yet.

Kay muttered ‘what a rotten brother’ in his mind.

Then a man with fiery red hair who had been silent until now opened his mouth.

“Sir Kay.”

“Gawain. What a surprise. You suddenly call with such a heavy voice. What happened? Where is the king?”

“First of all, let tell you one thing. I’m the one who organized this eting.”

“What? But it was the king’s order…”

“The king is dead.”

The shocking truth that ca out of Gawain’s mouth spread gloomily inside the round table eting hall.

Kay narrowed his eyes and glared at Gawain.

“That’s not a funny joke.”

“It’s not a joke. I saw it with my own eyes. Our king was assassinated.”

Yu-hyun and Sumin couldn’t help but stiffen their faces at his words.
