MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
LOVE THAT IS TOO DEEP
Princess Tira, although still a child, but her attitude is like an adult. At that age, he can already feel empathy for others, including to crown prince Alvero who since childhood seemed to keep a distance with others. It seems like the princess cares deeply and dearly for the crown prince Alvero. Princess Tira's personality is very good. May it continue like that until the daughter grows up.
Ernest said inwardly with a gaze full of admiration towards Tira.
Although after officially becoming Alvero's personal bodyguard, Ernest became very busy, and arguably never chatted with Tira, but from that time every time they passed each other or met even just a glance, but since then, ernest's eyes would never be able to not quietly observe Tira even from afar.
For Ernest to see Tira who continues to grow into a teenage girl, and is now almost an adult and continues to live with a smile, loved and admired by many people makes Ernest feel happy.
“Tira... get here fast! Uncle Victor looking for you.” The voice call from Enzo made the conversation between Tira and Ernest stalled, the conversation that made from that moment, the eyes of even Ernest's heart could not be separated from the figure of Tira.
“It looks like it's time the Princess left me...” Ernest said with a smile looking at Tira who was smiling broadly at him.
“Don't worry Ernest. I will never forget you forever, though we may rarely meet. After all, Ernest is the personal bodyguard of Brother Alvero who must always be near him. Take good care of my brother yes.” Tira said as she glanced at Enzo who seemed to be waving at him, calling out to him.
“I have to go now Ernest. Don't you ever forget our conversation today, will you? If anyone dares to make you trouble, just tell me, and I will make him deterred already dare to trouble you.” Tira said as she patted Ernest's left shoulder as if trying to give Ernest confidence that he was reliable and would be a protector for Ernest, before Tira finally walked over to Enzo who called out to him.
Although at that time Tira's age was still so small, but Tira's actions managed to make Ernest's chest shake violently, the same as today, where every time he was near Tira, where he was, or just imagine the figure of Tira, and various moments that have occurred between them.
I must have gone mad.. How could my heart beat so fast because of a child? Is there anything abnormal in my brain?
Although in the end from then until now he had never once been able to forget that taste, the longer the love gets bigger and binds her heart so that no girl but Tira can make her heart and body react.
From the beginning until now, only Tira could make her chest shake violently and make her like a person who lost her mind.
From the beginning, I kept looking at you. Other than your parents, maybe I am the one who knows best how your process day by day daughter grew from a little girl to the adult she is today.
Ernest who had just recalled all the events of the past said inwardly with hot eyes, because right now her heart was really feeling a sense of tightness and pain as she realized how for so long she had loved Tira so much like that.
Although there's not much I can do for you all these years, but at least I saw you grow up and make sure that the princess lives well and is always happy, even in the future…. Maybe there won't be me by the princess' side again after I finish all my duties here. After so long enduring that feeling, it seems like I should be preparing to release the princess from the grasp of my heart, even though I am not sure if I will be able to live life well after that.
Ernest said inwardly with a heart that felt so much pain, making him almost shed his tears, if only he had not deliberately raised his head to prevent the tears from coming down.
All the shadows he remembered how since the meeting with Tira that night, Ernest had seen a lot of how the figure of Tira who often passed by or seen from a distance where slowly but Ernest continued to see how Tira grew into a girl who was getting more beautiful and still showed his charm who has a soft and graceful side, as well as the kind nature of his heart that became the general conversation of the guards and palace servants.
The sound of a phone call made Ernest who was initially still so reluctant to move his body that leaned like a man without power in his car inevitably grabbed back his phone and idle the phone call from which it turned out to come from Edis.
“Hallo Edi..” Ernest answered a phone call from Edi while moving the car he was driving out of the campus parking area, after a long period of silence and daydreaming and re-imagining every event he had experienced in the past with Tira.
