A New King?

"Should we just leave him here?" Hee-won suggested.

"That is a funny plan if you can handle what comes after," Jin-ah said and Hee-won tilted her head.

"I don't think he'll make a big deal out of it,"

"Well, even then it is a bad idea," Alea laughed dryly as there were two demons in their house who would 'educate them' if they choose to go through with it.

'Who are they talking about?' Hee-won was left puzzled and started to think.

Leaving that aside currently, Haru was in contact with King Se-jong, and the one who told Dok-ja about this was Bi-hyung, plus the pretty glitter show around Haru.

[How is that guy able to withstand a constellation's true voice at this stage?] Bi-hyung sighed as if he was questioning his life decisions right now.

[What are they talking about?] Dok-ja asked since he was curious, he wasn't too worried about Haru being able to converse with the constellation since there were many people who could do that as long as the constellation wasn't a total dick that wanted to torture the incarnations.

[You really expect me to know?] Bi-hyung said as Dok-ja clicked his tongue; it seemed that King Se-jong was taking this seriously.

But Dok-ja knew that there were only a few things that King Se-jong would want from Haru.

'He is either trying to become Haru's supporting constellation, or he is trying to issue a bounty scenario,' Dok-ja thought as both of these situations lined up perfectly with King Se-jong's current situation.

King Se-jong was a constellation that was on the verge of advancing into the Narrative grade, and to do that he would need to strengthen his story by spreading his name.

And a better way to do that aside from getting a strong incarnation so his name would be associated with the incarnation bringing him more fame.

'But I think it is most likely a bounty scenario since Haru should already have a supporting constellation,' Dok-ja's train of thought ended there since Alea stood up attracting their attention.

"There are people approaching," And her words made everyone stand up, it seemed an enemy was coming their way, so they quickly got in position with Haru in the back.

And soon the people Alea talked about came into view.

'That's…' Dok-ja looked at the woman who was dressed in historical clothes from the past, the people who were around her were also the same and they were covered in armor while being armed with cold weapons.

He quickly used his skill 'Character Sheet' since he had an inkling of who this woman was.

And just like how Dok-ja and the others noticed the group, the group had also spotted them and formed a defensive circle around the woman.

"Well, now we know who their leader is," Hee-won said while keeping an eye on the people who were dressed as if they had walked right out of a museum after robbing it.

"Well our king is out of commission, so we need to be careful," Alea knew that all of the groups from all over Seoul were gathered, so it wasn't an ideal place to go AFK.

"If we are in danger we can just leave him behind, he'll survive easily even in that state," Hee-won joked but the others knew that it was true.

But just as they were passing these internal jokes, the group reached in front of them.

"Who dares to block the King's path?" One of the men in front shouted looking at Dok-ja and the others as they were confused.

'Aren't they too into the act?' That was the common thought shared by the six people there. It was one thing to dress like people from the past, but to act like that as well?

Of course, Dok-ja knew the reason why this had happened but he was still a little unnerved by the way they acted.

"Greetings, I see that there is a king among you people," Ji-won came forward from the crowd, but the soldiers around her were still alert and ready to attack at a moment's notice.

"Of course she notices him," Hee-won said dryly looking at Haru, he is too tall to be hidden behind them anyway.

"As you can see he is a bit busy, can you wait for a minute …or two? I don't know when he'll come to be," Jin-ah said looking between Haru and Ji-won.

"I was just passing by, there is no need to fret over me," Ji-won smiled sweetly and walked over with her 50 armed men behind her. She didn't seem to mind waiting a little.

"She's really pretty!" Baek Chang-min was already taken in by Ji-won's beauty and Dok-ja could only roll his eyes at what was happening.

"Don't go over or you'll be killed," Dok-ja placed a hand on Chang-min's shoulder and used his skill.

[The Skill 'Dispel Evil lv.2' has been activated.]

Dok-ja dispelled the charm skill on Baek Chang-min which was casted by no other than Ji-won. He could even see her frown a little since she noticed what he had done.

"Ah, yes, but she is really pretty, isn't she?" Dok-ja just decided to give up on Chang-min since it didn't look like he couldn't do much with this guy's character.

The girls were talking among themselves discussing something for some time before…

"Dok-ja do you know her by any chance? She has been staring daggers at you," Hee-won asked in a hushed voice.

'Of course, I know her, That is the King of Seong-dong district, one of the three main participants of this scenario,' Dok-ja thought about the main reason for the Fourth Scenario.

'A proxy war between kingdoms of the past,' Past kings who have become constellations would support their own incarnation in a bid to win the absolute throne.

But he couldn't really say all of that out loud so he went with the story from the novel.

"I saw her once in a play she was working as an actress there," Dok-ja lied naturally since there was no need to worry for now.

It was mentioned in TWSA in passing and was never talked about in-depth since Ji-won wasn't that important of a character. If Dok-ja wasn't rereading the novel file he had over and over in order to come up with plans for the chaotic situations, he would've overlooked it as well.

"I didn't expect that from you Dok-ja," Hee-won said in surprise, but it wasn't out of pocket since Dok-ja looked like the last person you'd expect to be interested in plays. Even then…

'You don't have to be so blunt about it,' Before Dok-ja's thought could go any further someone intervened.

It was none other than Ji-won, she spoke while looking at Dok-ja with her list slightly curved upwards.

"Ah, so you are a fan of mi-" But she was quickly shot down.

"Not really a fan," Ji-won was stuck midsentence as Dok-ja just dropped that comment.

"You dare disrespect the King, do you know who she is?" One of the soldiers standing near Ji-won got angry, he seemed to have a good standing among the people there as he was the nearest to Ji-won.

'That must be Gwang-chang's incarnation,' Dok-ja thought looking at the man who was ready to draw his sword. Dok-ja knew that Gwang-chang might be average when it came to power but his loyalty to Silla was on another level.

"Of course, I know her, it is an honor to be in the presence of the Last Queen of Silla," Dok-ja didn't feel like playing the game any longer and just dropped the identity of Ji-won's supporting constellation.

Ji-won's shock was apparent as even the people with her were shaken, to have the identity of your constellation revealed can be quite catastrophic as it also reveals your weaknesses and strengths.

"There is no need to be alarmed, aren't you here to fulfill your supporting constellation's last wish?" Dok-ja said and could see the shock on Ji-won's face.

[The Constellation 'Slumbering Lady Of Fine Brocade' is shocked.]

It also reflected the shock of Ji-won's supporting constellation.

Supporting Constellations signed a contract with the incarnation to support them if they found potential in them.

But that wasn't all the constellations did.
