"Father, what are you worrying about again?"
Ernesto asked Jose because, after their conversation with his stepmother and sister, his father never left his side and even took his work to Ernesto's room.
"What are you talking about?"
Jose talked as he didn't even move his gaze away from the documents he was reading. Due to the marquis's strict watch over him, Ernesto is unable to leave their estate freely.
"Why are you guarding me? The only time you leave me alone is when I am visiting Kuya."
"Well, to prevent you from doing extreme things again."
"Extreme things? When did I ever do that?"
Marquis Oliva finally put down his documents and narrowed his gaze toward Ernesto, who was leisurely lying upside down on the couch across from him.
"When? Dying two months ago. Fighting a dragon. getting involve with that duke's child. Recently, almost getting killed again. Loosing memories. Do you think none of that was extreme?"
