Chapter 474

‘A user?’
Gaul stared at the man with a flustered look. A user? Gaul, who had naturally assumed he was an NPC, was utterly flustered.
It was right then.
“My Lord!”
Recognizing the familiar voice from somewhere, Gaul turned her head to see who had spoken.
‘…Soma!’
The voice belonged to Soma. Gaul frowned as she watched him run toward her.
‘Wait, Myeong-hu?’
But that lasted only a moment. She recalled Soma’s cry and whirled her head around to stare at the man.
‘Myeong-hu?’
Soma had clearly shouted, ‘Myeonghu!’ And Myeonghu was definitely pointing at the man before her.
‘If it’s Myeonghu…’
Gaul knew Myeonghu. He was the Count of the Heliocha Empire, the continent’s strongest nation. He was the first user to receive a count’s title and was now the hottest topic, publicly declared as such by both the Holy Empire and the Heliocha Empire. It was impossible not to know him. Gaul asked the man before him, Myeonghu, with a startled expression.
“Are you… Myeonghu?”
“Yes.”
Myeonghu nodded at Gaul’s question. Seeing the expression on Myeonghu’s face, which seemed to say it was the most natural thing in the world, Gaul asked again.
“So, you’re… the Myeonghu who was the Count of the Helio Empire?”
At Gaul’s identical question, Myeonghu frowned slightly. Then, without a word, he nodded in response.
“…”
Seeing Myeonghu’s nod, Gaul couldn’t utter a word. She just stared blankly at him, her mouth agape.
