## Personality

He would always treat badly those who he considers to be superior to him in any aspect and since he recovered his post he would always use his higher rank for denying the ideas or words of those like Alfred towards who he has an inferiority complex. Average in every aspect and always trying to deny that ordinarity by putting people that he considers to have more skill than him in ranks below his, whoever person working for him would automatically become an elite just because he is the boss, the ones under him are elites and he's the top of that, he always tries to give that kind of image.

Rio beat Charles with a counter almost immediately, further humiliating Charles. Four years later, Rio kidnapped Celia from the marriage between her and Charles, stepping on his back and threatening to break Charles’s spine. Rio does not accept the fact that Celia is forced to marry Charles, this is likely due to Rio knowing Charles's bad personality from his past. After Christina escaped, Rio saw Orphia and Celia look in pain , causing Rio to become incredibly angry, to the point of scaring Christina. Rio, in his rage, beat Alfred and Rui in a two-on-one battle. After that, Rio then marched through the remaining Beltran kingdom forces, grabbed Charles's neck and dragged him to Christina.
