MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
TRYING TO SCRAPE ERNEST'S HEART
While at the palace, following Alvero's life as the young king's personal bodyguard, Ernest had seen all sorts of love stories happening to those around him.
Everyone has their own story, where there is crying, there is laughter, there is sadness, there is happiness accompanying the journey of their love story.
Alvero and Deanda, Enzo and Melva, Evan and Alaya, Erich and Cleosa, even the love story of Alvero's friends, Ornado and Cladia, Dave and Laurel, Leo and Evelyn, even the love story of Alvero's friends, all of them live a love story that is not easy and different, but in the end, Ernest sees a happy ending to their love story.
Is it possible...my love story can end happily like all of them? I'm really not sure, if until the end, the girl I love is still Tira's daughter. But unfortunately, for now, I can't see another girl as a woman worthy of love other than princess Tira. It seems, I will be the only person who will not have a happy ending when it comes to romance.
Ernest said inwardly while trying to refocus on his work, in order to forget how to love a girl with a status so far above him, making his heart ache.
Is it possible... Today I can provoke Ernest's heart? I'd better give it a try, while I still have some time with Ernest. Before Brother Alvero and brother Deanda came to this place, before the intruder was found and arrested, before Ernest did not go to Gracetian, and left me….
Tira who while working continued to think of ways to find out how Ernest felt to her, finally ventured to start fishing for conversation in that direction.
“Ernest, soon Erich will marry Cleosa. Then what about your plans? Aren't you the only family Erich has? Are you guys going to stay together?” Ernest who was initially trying to divert his mind from the love problem immediately held his breath as soon as he heard the question from Tira.
Because he must be able to think quickly when answering Tira's questions, and behave as usual and as normal as possible so that Tira can not see how her true heart is, and how her true heart is, who was so in love with the girl who was trying to pry at Ernest's heart.
“Of course not Princess. I can't possibly interfere with Erich's future married life. I actually have my own apartment, but since Erich doesn't want to live apart from me, we promise to stay together until one of us finds his partner.” Ernest stopped talking for a while because he had to lift a large flower vase, slightly swiping it from its original place to be neat.
Huh…
Tira slightly looked at how Ernest who before starting to clean the house rolled up the long sleeves of the clothes he was wearing up to the upper arm, so that when Ernest lifted the vase, he would lift it, making Ernest's arm automatically directly show the muscles of his trained arm, so that it looks sturdy and make Tira's chest rippled because of it, with a look of eyes dazzled.
“As Princess knows, Erich is not a sociable person and is very reclusive, so I must be worried that you should let him live alone without anyone nearby.”
“Eh... Yes Ernest Ernest's eyes that turned from the vase towards Tira, made Tira slightly averted her eyes from Ernest's body which had left her amazed just now.
“As a person who lives and lives long with Erich, I understand very well Erich's quiet and cold attitude, not a lot of people who care about his existence. Other than me, even Erich has no friends to talk to. Therefore I am very grateful God brought Erich to Cleosa.” Hearing the sincere tone and how Ernest who looked so fond of his twin brother, made Tira smile happily, as if she could really feel what Ernest was feeling right now.
“Then... How about you yourself Ernest?” Tira's question instantly made Ernest's forehead wrinkle.
“What does Princess mean? Why is it with me? Of course as I said earlier, I am very happy in the end Erich can find a person who can accompany him to live his life by loving each other.” Ernest, who was trying to keep Tira from talking about him, went back to telling her about Erich and Cleosa.
“I've heard a lot about Erich and Cleosa's love story from Brother Deanda. Don't forget that Deanda's sister is Cleosa's best friend. But what makes me curious, how about you? Have you found the girl of your own dreams?” Ernest's eyes almost glared at the question from Tira, where the person who was asking was the girl who had been so in control of his heart for a long time.
Ah... finally... The princess kept asking me about such a thing? How can I honestly answer the princess's question about it?
With a wavering attitude, Ernest said inwardly, while forcibly keeping himself calm before Tira.
“Unfortunately, I have not been as lucky as Erich, Princess.” Ernest's reply made Tira's forehead instantly frown.
“Have you ever fallen in love with Ernest? Who's the lucky girl who can make your heart steal? Do I know him?” Finally Tira without further ado immediately asked Ernest, who inevitably was not prepared with the question posed by Tira to him suddenly.
