Taoles asked, "Do you know that Count Lanmalock excelled in martial arts and was promoted to the Sacred Order when he was young? Whether on the dueling ground or the battlefield, he has never tasted defeat and is reputed as the 'Victory Champagne Count.'
Charles answered, "Of course I do."
Taoles continued, "Do you also know that Count Lanmalock was once considered a genius on par with Zimmerman?"
Charles countered, "What does that have to do with his son?"
Taoles whispered, "Even the People of Fars know that Ban Lanmalock is just like Count Lanmalock in his younger days, and his talent is said to surpass his father's. He has defeated sixteen high-level Transcendents in the dueling grounds. It's not an overstatement to call him the strongest knight among the younger generation of the Inglima Empire."
"He also has a nickname—the youngest lion of Notruden."
