"Oh! Master! I miss you!"
As if Watson were Ernesto's dog, he came running as soon as he saw Ernesto appear on a teleportation circle inside the Ayam castle. Duke Allan, Princess Serra, and the other princes and princesses didn't react to Ernesto's presence, and they just focused on their meal as if it were their last.
Ernesto blocked Watson's hug with a mana shield and curiously asked, "What's wrong with them?"
Watson pouted at being ignored, but still replied to Ernesto's question. "Oh, I was gone for centuries, and they became so weak, so I am training them."
"Oh? But they don't look weak."
The duke and the princesses' ears twitched as soon as they heard Ernesto compliment them, but their shoulders instantly dropped after Ernesto completed his sentence.
"They don't look weak compared to humans."
"Exactly! It's quite disappointing that they didn't even improve; instead, they regressed!"
