Ernest who initially wanted to leave the campus immediately and tell Tira about what had happened on campus, inevitably had to stop his steps to respond to a call from his friend, his friend, who in addition to looking at him with a curious face, also looked towards Edi, who was with Ernest and was seen following Ernest earlier.
The figure of Edi who had indeed delivered Tira to campus but never got out of the car, of course considered a stranger to Ernest's friends and Tira, a figure they did not know.
"Before many questions about you, you better get out of here and go back to the apartment. I'll catch up with you as soon as I get over them." Ernest whispered softly to Edi who immediately nodded his head and left with wide steps.
As soon as Edi's figure was no longer visible, Ernest immediately breathed a sigh of relief, after he could see that no one else was following Edi, as people were focusing too much on him with their curiosity.
“Why did Mr Romeo call you Ernest?”
“What Tira's successor has also been terrorizing you?”
“Are you okay? The successor seems very dangerous.”
“I did not expect that all this time Robin had terrorized Tira like that.”
All of those questions were greeted with a smile by Ernest before he answered the questions from the people with his curious face.

“Hah... Finally they want to stop also.” Ernest muttered softly as he rushed towards his car after he managed to make all those who were curious feel satisfied with all the explanations he made as reasonable as possible, because there was no way he could tell everything so clearly.
Once in the car Ernest wants to do is contact Tira so that he can tell about what has happened on campus, about Robin and also… about Luis who's been a hero today.
Although the sense of unwillingness still plagues his heart, but Ernest knows he must still say about Luis who has managed to dismantle Robin's crimes so far.
Ernest who was already sitting in the driver's seat seemed to pick up his phone, and a second later Ernest's forehead seemed to wince as soon as he saw some incoming messages, one of which came from Tira.
With an impatient attitude, Ernest opened a message from Tira for him.
These few days I'm going to stay in the Shaw family mansion, and not want to be disturbed, he said, so I'm asking you to arrange that in the next few days I won't be able to attend if the police who arrested Robin need my presence to testify.
Those messages from Tira made Ernest sigh.
“It seems like the princess completely avoided me to the point that she contacted Edi but did not contact me at all.” Ernest said and unnoticed by himself, one of his hands on the steering wheel held tightly to the steering wheel with all his might.
It was not the anger that Ernest was feeling right now, but the torment at the thought of why Tira was avoiding him so much.
Loving Tira in silence for Ernest was something he had been through for so long and had gotten him used to staying still and holding back, but Tira's impressed attitude to avoid him made Ernest's heart become chaotic and uncontrollable.
*What really happened to you, princess? I'd rather see you from a distance without being able to touch you but I can still see you smiling even if not at me, than you write so many messages but you're clearly avoiding communicating with me.
Ernest complained inwardly with his eyes closed for some time before he finally decided to re-read the messages from Tira that he had not finished everything because he was still busy with his heart that was in turmoil.
Ernest, who had only been observing Tira from afar, did not expect that their closeness for some time actually made his heart that had been satisfied just by looking and observing Tira from afar, so being greedy by wanting more and more of his closeness to Tira, and subconsciously leads him to the thought of being able to have Tira as his lover or even his future wife.
I need to stop my madness. How can I expect a daughter to be my life partner? Even though I love her so much and am willing to do anything for her, it does not mean that I am worthy to be her life companion.
Ernest again sighed before his eyes actually re-read the messages sent on his phone, especially the messages from Tira.
Edi had already told everything from the beginning to the end about what happened. Including how Mr. Luis could get Robin caught. I've told it to Alvero and the others, including Papa Victor and mama Ava.
Most likely, Enzo's brother who just came to America will represent my parents to thank Luis. According to Mr. Alvero the person who best represents my family is Mr. Enzo, because as a Gracetian prince he is the least known because he does not like to be involved in royal affairs. I really don't want anyone else to know about my status, because that's why Brother Alvero asked Enzo to finish it.
The message made Ernest's chest pound, because Tira's message showed how the Tira family was very grateful to Luis for Robin's capture.
