Defeating Charles Trap seemed like a commonplace matter to Liszt. Just as most who rely on performance-enhancing drugs can defeat those who rely solely on combat skills, money indeed can do as it wishes.
But, as Liszt's opponent, Charles found this difficult to accept; he was over forty years old and had been unable to defeat a youth of seventeen.
It was an outcome he never expected before the live combat training.
The most crucial point was the utter lack of resistance—being dominated from beginning to end, a situation quite embarrassing.
Yet the longsword, emitting a scorching heat, was already at his neck, and Charles had to admit that he truly was defeated, beaten by a young person.
This should have been a matter of shame and anger.
Taking into account Liszt's identity, he quickly came to terms with it. Heir to the Tulip Family and inheritor of the Long Taro Family's bloodline, such a high-born noble should naturally possess such strength.
