MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
OBSTRUCTING ANNA'S PLAN
I really can't act more than I do right now, princess, because I know the limits of where I need to stop and no longer move forward. And even though it really hurts me, asala princess is happy, it doesn't matter to me if I'm the only one who experiences that pain. I'll keep it to myself. It will be my greatest secret, which I will keep well only in my heart and mind.
Ernest whispered in his heart, unaware that Tira had noticed that his face had already shown what he was thinking, thus making his aura look pitiful and like a desperate person.
But quickly, Ernest immediately returned to smiling with a sweet smile as usual, so Anna who was not too familiar with Ernest could not see that well.
“As a good Gracetian citizen, let alone my status as a knight and also a bodyguard who served in the palace, I have to obey all the rules in Gracetian.” Ernest said in a calm manner, although his words made his chest rumble violently, so turbulent, because to him, those words were like sharp blades piercing his chest, feeling so painful to him.
Even if he could, it seemed to Ernest that he wanted to leave for a while to calm his heart, but he knew that he should be able to control himself well now, in front of Anna let alone Tira, where she did not want her beloved girl to know about her heart.
“Ah, as it turns out, a country with a royal system like Gracetian, has so many rules, and it seems like all those rules are quite complicated, especially in the rules relating to the lives of nobles like you. It's so complicated..why are so many rules that bind and regulate people's feelings until it's that complicated.” Anna said quietly, after the ssah and took a deep breath.
This Sleama, unfuk Anna, Tira's story about all the rules she had to live by, especially all the rules in the palace all this time made her quite dizzy.
Before knowing Tira, for Anna life with a royal system like in England, making her sometimes dream of wanting to become a British citizen, and can live in a country that is a kingdom.
But once heard the story from Tira, since then Anna no longer has such a desire.
“But it is our country of birth. I have never been disappointed to be born and raised in Gracetian, to be a Gracetian. All my life I want to make my life in my homeland.” Ernest responded to Anna's words with a thought he was trying to shift to his love for Gracetian, so that it made Ernest's smile no longer look forced.
Hearing Ernest's words, Anna became so curious and so asked Ernest about the Gracetian that he became so interested and increasingly curious about Gracetian, I saw Ernest's attitude that showed how much he loved his home country.
If my feelings are right... I should be able to make Ernest be honest with me because by waiting for Ernest who always maintained his status as a knighat well it felt like my wait would be in vain. I'll see if it's true that he actually loves me.
Throughout Ernest's story, Anna could only gawk with eyes that occasionally widened in shock or wonder, also afraid to hear how reckless the terror who planned to harm Tira.
“Then, I will try to arrange for me to accompany Tira starting tonight. I have to make sure that Tira will be fine before the intruder is found..”.
“No! No need to get to that Anna.” Tira, who was initially still focused on her thoughts about how Ernest really felt, spontaneously rejected Anna's plan to stay with him for a while.
Woe if Anna really lives in my apartment. Other than I could no longer force Ernest to keep me there, compared to Anna, of course I trusted Ernest's ability to take care of me more.
Tira said inwardly with her awkward smile in front of Anna.
“Ehem Ernest who did not tell the part where since last night he lived in Tira's apartment, can only beat slowly, to get rid of the awkwardness that happened the current market.
“Anna, the three of us seem to have been more than enough to take care of Tira, because between the three of us, we have a tight schedule, which is for twenty-four full hours, he said, one of us was not allowed to sleep, and was watching for suspicious movements around the apartment we were staying in.” Ernest who could catch the rejection from Tira for Anna's desire to accompany him, immediately gave an explanation to Anna who could only nod her head.
“Almost, the terrorist we can not take for granted. He seems to be a professional enough to commit his crimes. It would be very dangerous if you were involved. I guess, that place is too dangerous for an inexperienced girl against crime like you.” Ernest again added an explanation of the current situation.
“Later you just make Ernest and the others so take care of you too, not just me. Must be troublesome.” Tira immediately connected Ernest's words to make sure that Anna backed down with her idea earlier.
“Truely too, there are already three of you.. moreover I will definitely not be able to help much if suddenly the terror comes and tries to attack us.” Anna finally said with a resigned attitude.
“Lagipul... You three will live next to Tira, so surely you can really keep a good eye on Tira. At least... the close distance between you will be very easy and profitable if Tira needs help suddenly.” Anna said as if to herself.
