After returning to the castle, no one mentioned the outcome of the sword duel; since neither of the parties involved brought it up, others simply assumed it was a sparring session between father and son.
Since it was just a sparring session, there was no question of victory or defeat.
However, the Earl still felt a bit embarrassed, especially when Lady Marie asked, "Dear, why is there a bit less hair on your forehead? It looks like it's been singed by fire?"
Fortunately, Liszt cleverly extricated the Earl from the awkward situation, "I'm sorry, Lady Marie. When father was instructing me, I accidentally exerted too much force, causing my Dou Qi to burst and burn off a wisp of father's hair... Thankfully, it doesn't affect the hairline at all, really not at all."
Lady Marie smiled, "You are both Sky Knights, with powerful attacks. You must be careful when practicing."
Liszt nodded, "Please rest assured."
