MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
WHYNOT?
Although Ernest really liked Tira, it did not mean that it would not be a problem if until the conditions required him he had to pretend as Tira's lover.
When it comes to pretending to be Tira's lover, Ernest has to show in front of a lot of people how much he treats Tira as his lover.
And Ernest, unable to imagine what it would be like if in the future, he had to pretend to be Tira's lover, whereas just pretending to be a man chasing after Tira alone had made his heart clot uncontrollably in his chest.
“Why? Is there something wrong with what I just said?” Anna said grimacingly from seeing the shocked face between Tira and Ernest because of her words earlier.
“I'm sure.. that terror will fire more beards once you hear you finally become lovers.” Annaa whispered very quietly between Ernest and Tira's heads, making Ernest look straight at Tira with a slight frown.
Anna's idea, though not according to her original plan, but it was probably a faster way to make the terrorist even more impervious to action and eventually to have his cover exposed, was revealed, so that they can immediately catch the perpetrators of the terror.
However, for Ernest, it was all that made him feel uneasy, thinking of a disaster for himself if he dared to accept the idea and do it.
“No need to act like that. Yesterday's event alone was enough to make the terrorist react quickly.” Ernest replied to Anna after confirming that only the three of them were currently living in the classroom, while the others were all out of the place.
Both Ernest, Anna and Tira, seem to still look relaxed in the classroom, because coincidentally today, they only have a new class schedule they finish, while other students some of them, including, someone has to attend the next class.
Moreover, in accordance with the existing schedule, the classroom they are currently in, is also not scheduled to be used to teach by other lecturers throughout the day.
Why did Ernest reject Anna's idea? Does that mean.. Ernest doesn't have any feelings for me? Everything murnai because of acting which is his duty as my personal bodyguard?
Tira said inwardly with a heart that felt uneasy from feeling rejected by Ernest.
Even though the lecturer gave the task to Ernest to make one of the sentences that will be used as a romantic song lyrics, Tira's heart has melted.
One of the words spoken by Ernest was: I will always be there for you, to be your guardian angel.
As for her other friends, who know for sure that Tira is a beautiful girl who is kind and gentle, and, he felt that he was very compatible with the figure of Ernest who was handsome and looked so easy to be accepted by others.
Even each Ernest said romantic sentences combined with the tone of the song made by the teaching lecturer, where Ernest must be able to adjust the sentence planjng with the music that is there, which is, making the other students make noises that make the class boisterous, because Ernest turned out to be so fluent in stringing romantic words.
Throughout the class this morning, Tira's face looked nervous and misbehaved several times. The mood that had been bad because of the events between Angel and Ernest, as if it disappeared just from his brain.
But hearing Ernest's answer to Anna's idea that they pretend to be lovers, Tira's feelings worsen.
Didn't Ernest want to do that because he didn't think Angel would misunderstand and ruin their relationship?
Tira began to try to second-guess Ernest's thoughts in his heart, without realizing that Ernest of course did not dare to answer yes without Tira's approval as his master, and also it felt very inappropriate for him to decide such a thing before the two of them spoke of it seriously.
“But instead of pretending to be lovers will make your plan to trap the terror will be easier?” Anna again asked after taking a seat on the bench behind Tira and Ernest, while Tira and Ernest deliberately tilted their seats to look at Anna.
“Anna, it seems like I will be the one who is considered to not understand manners if you dare to answer yes to your idea. We both came from Gracetian, however, with all the strictest rules as a state that embraced a system of absolute monarchical government. Do you know what? I could have been expelled from Gracetian and my knight status revoked if I had misbehaved during my time as Princess Tira's bodyguard.” Ernest said as he mentioned his call to Tira, returning as princess.
Ernest deliberately did that to emphasize to Anna, that they had boundaries between a princess and a knighat that could not be broken at will.
“We are Gracetian citizens, not Americans, so we cannot act as we please even though we are now away from Graceteian.” Ernest again said to Anna, unaware that Tira was actually observing what Ernest said, as well as his attitude, so that unintentionally, Tira could see a sad aura on Ernest's face, although only briefly.
What happened to Ernest? Is it possible... actually he loves me too? It's just that the two of us were separated by such a huge difference in status that he held himself back all this time? Is it possible... Ernest has liked me for a long time? So he didn't refuse at all when he was assigned to America to escort me? While in Gracetian, Erich was busy preparing for his wedding.
What Tira saw to Ernest, made Tira start to guess what Ernest actually felt to her.
