Jung Eunse is the typical MC who tried to minimize his presence in the OG storu but fails. He's hardly read the OG story so half of the time he's going off of info that his sister shared with him. He's extremely kind almost to the point of a Saint. He's fine with being a political hostage since he has some value as a preist in the kingdom so if he dies then it'll be a headache for the royal family to clean up and gives the Holy Kingdom a reason to start a war with them. He gets along well with everyone, especially the servants and common people since he's a confessional priest. Not the brightest bulb of the batch but he has his positives with an affinity with holy powers and people.
[collapse]Cedric:SpoilerThe OG ML we never asked for but definitely deserve. TWSB is unique with the fact that they give you a PoV of Cedric when half the time it's always on the MC. Cedric is a hard nut to crack but takes his position as a crown prince seriously. He's the decisive character of sorts. His condition is guarded pretty well and led to a hilarious misunderstanding between him and Eunse.
[collapse]Christelle:SpoilerI like how Christelle takes control over her life. The Christelle in TWSB is clearly different to the Christelle in the OG novel. She's a real 31 year old office woman but has the energy of a woman in her 20s. She likes helping people and can be very extreme about it at some times when it's necessary. Her talent as a Holy Knight is amazing it's almost a waste that she didn't become one in the OG novel. She's the type of character that gets into trouble and needs Eunse to take her out of it lol. In the end, she's perfectly capable of taking care of herself. She takes risky moves when she knows that Cedric and Eunse will be there for her.
[collapse]Elisabeth:SpoilerThough a side character, you see her quite a bit. A Royal Knight Vice Captain and Cedric's Best Friend. A talented knight and entertaining friend. She's mostly the main cause of the misunderstanding between Cedric and Eunse. She lets herself be free in front of the main group but can turn serious when it comes to her job. Half the time she goes to Eunse when she wants a break from work haha.
[collapse]Benjamin and GaneelSpoilerThese two are loyal to Eunse but also friends with him. They may be servants, but Eunse treats them as colleugues as he often invites them to eat at the same table as him. Benjamin and Ganeel are strong believers of the God so that contributes to their trust to Eunse. Benjamin gives an "elder grandfather" vibe while Ganeel is a naive but hardworking type.
[collapse]Relationships:SpoilerAll of the characters mesh together so well. If I were to put them into stereotypes, Eunse would be the "adult/nanny", Cedric the closeted chuunibyo, and Christelle as the kid always high on sugar. I can't get enough of them and their funny interactions. And while the combat scenes are very limited, fron the few snippets I've read, they have pretty good team work.
There's a scene where their teacher punishes them for destroying a lounge room while a Countess was interviewing Eunse so she brings them to the mountains to fight off some demonic beasts. This is their first proper fight as a team and it moves perfectly. Eunse used his brain to create a trap, Christelle using her ability to create it, and Christelle and Cedric working together to manipulate and kill the beasts in the trap. Out of all of them, Cedric arguably has the most experience. The fact that he can adjust himself or the other capable of adjusting themselves with his abilities is amazing.
