“Until James forced me to marry him, he didn't even say that he married me because he loved me, making me think he did that to make me take that unwanted match. But who would have thought that ever since we were teenagers, he's been so fond of me without me knowing that his love for me was that big. After he knows the truth about the past that made me disappear from him, now every time he will always say his love for me without knowing the place and time.” Elenora said in a timid manner, making the others smile happily at her.
“In addition to us, you also definitely know the love story of Alaya and Evan who had made a scene until abroad. Their love is separated by greed and evil from irresponsible people. Thankfully, they eventually stick together, with Evan's memories intact. For me, being Alaya must not be easy, so loving a person who looks clear he has forgotten us.” Deanda tells the story of Alaya's love that had become international news, especially before marrying Evan, there were two crown princes from abroad who had been interested in marrying Alaya.
“Don't forget also the love story of Enzo and Melva, Leo and Evelyn, everyone has their own love story, and everything must be beautiful, although in it there may be tears, but there must be laughter. There is sadness, but there is also happiness. There is no perfect love story, but we can fight for it so that it can be beautiful and we live with happiness.” The wise words from Cladia made Tira smile by nodding her head.
All beautiful love stories. Can Ernest and I get a beautiful story like them? And most important to me right now…. Is it true that Ernest loves me too or is it just my wishful thinking?
Tira who heard all the stories said in her heart as her mind imagined the figure of Ernest who was always smiling and behaving so respectfully to her, so that made it quite difficult to judge whether Ernest felt the same love that he felt or not.
“Tira…. Now be honest with us, what exactly happened to you? Why are you suddenly asking our love story? Are you in love with someone? Do we know that guy?” The constant questions from Laurel who was always sensitive in assessing the situation inevitably made Tira a little nervous.
“Ah... the...” Tira answered Laurel's question stammeringly.
“So who is the lucky man who has managed to steal the heart of this beautiful Gracetian princess?” Deanda asked as she pinched the small cheek of Tira whose face showed a red tinge there.
“Indeed there is no harm in the age of Tira now has started to fall in love with someone. I hope he is a man worthy of your heart Tira.” Elenora also commented, making Tira feel more cornered, but at first she was the one who had made people suspicious that she had fallen in love with someone.
“What looks so clearly?” Tira said in a doubtful and timid voice, making the others laugh.
“Indeed our weakness these women, can not well hide if we are in love ya.” Laurel said as she patted Tira on the shoulder.
“So who is that man?” Deanda repeated her question to Tira.
“I don't know if he loves me too or not.” Tira said softly in an unconvinced manner.
“Wire…. Looking at you like this, it seems like you've really fallen in love with her.” Laurel said with a little amused laugh, because Tira's attitude reminded her of herself who felt insecure when Dave expressed his love at that time.
“Who are the men who have made you distrustful? You are a Gracetian princess? If my Al hears there is a Gracetian princess who looks not confident like you, let alone the descendants of Adalavino, what will she do to a man who has made you upset like this?” Deanda's words made Tira's body flinch in shock with her bulging eyes, and her chest that was pounding from feeling uneasy after hearing what Deanda had just said.
It could be really bad if Alvero knew I was in love with Ernest. It's not just a matter of our status differences, but the content of Ernest that I can't confirm will be a big problem if suddenly Brother Alvero acts when I don't know how Ernest feels about me. Moreover, I am not sure this time Brother Alvero will support me.
Tira's mind immediately thought about the bad things that might happen if until Alvero knew about her feelings for Ernest.
Although Tira knew Alvero had helped her a lot, including convincing her father Victor to give her a chance to pursue her dreams in the music world, but amsalah the status that exists in the Gracetian royal system, which is not the case, Tira was not sure it would still make Alvero support him, let alone Alvero was a Gracetian king where every action and decision was seen and made a role model by the whole Gracetian people, he said, so he also has to think about the consequences and risks of all his decisions.
If only the position of Tira and Ernest were gender reversed like Alvero and Deanda, or Evan and Alaya as well as Enzo and Melva, even Erich and Cleosa, respectively, where the position of the male status was higher than that of the female side, it was no big deal in Gracetian.
If so, there will be no one who questions or opposes such a love story.
But here, it was clear that Ernest's status as a man with a knight status was far below that of Tira who was a princess, which would certainly cause a lot of opposition in his family, which would be, moreover as Deanda had said earlier, she was one of the Gracetian princesses with Adalvino blood flowing within her body.
Among the descendants of the nobles in Gracetian, the highest position is indeed owned by the Adalvino family which since hundreds of years ago has always been a family that occupies the position of king in Gracetian.
“Kak Deanda... please.. please... really please.... don't say anything to Mr. Alvero about this. I don't want any trouble with me or the guy if he finds out. At least until I'm ready to tell it to Brother Alvero himself.” With a panicked attitude Tira who said in an imploring manner, made Deanda despite smiling in front of Tira, but his mind immediately tried to guess what was happening to Tira who was so nervous and tried to guess who the man who had made Tira's heart look like that.
