MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
THE GIFT IN THE AFTERNOON
“I also miss you guys.” Tira said as she focused back towards the street in front of her.
“How was your lecture here? Are you still sure this is your best option?” Without further ado, Victor immediately asked Tira.
However, until now, Victor still hopes that Tira will change his desire to continue studying in the music department.
Victor as one of the shareholders of the company Adalvino because married Ava who is the younger brother of Vincent Adalvino, really hope that his only daughter will help him in the company Adalvino, Adalvino, and one day it could establish its position there, which holds one of the subsidiaries of the Adalvino Group in its non-food section.
“I really enjoyed all the college lessons I had to complete in the music major to date Pa.” Tira who understood about his father's wishes answered Victor's question with a smile, hoping that his long-suffering father would still accept and support him on his decision to take college in the music department.
“Pa. As I promised at that time..even though I studied music, I will also continue to learn about management, so that in the future I can still help Papa in the company.” Tira's words a little make Victor singed a thin smile on his lips because Tira's promise to him makes him still able to expect Tira to be the successor to the business he leads now.
Tira's existence as the only successor for him made Victor so strict in everything related to the future of Tira's life, and Victor felt lucky because Tira was among the group of children who obey their parents.
“Then what about your male friends? Is anyone close to you?” Tira's face flushed slightly hearing Victor's question.
“Pa... There has not been a semester I went to college, why have you discussed such problems?” With a doubtful attitude Tira asked Victor who looked calm after saying his words.
“At your age now it's time you saw the men around you. But I don't want you to be careless in choosing your next life partner. You should bring it to me before your relationship gets serious.” Victor's words made Tira smile.
Although in terms of social relations Victor is a noble who is known to be polite and humble, but for the affairs of Tira's male friend who will become his lover, Victor is not an easy person to bring out his blessing.
Tira who had once been close to a male friend when he was at school in Gracetian had seen how in the end his male friend regressed regularly once he saw how fierce Victor was to the friends men Tira.
Fortunately, at that time Tira did not really like her friend, so when the man decided to stay away from her, Tira did not feel sad or disappointed.
“Already, let him enjoy his youth before he really decides about who the men will be with him. Besides... I'd be happier if he could find his soul mate at Gracetian.” Ava's words made Victor cleared his throat slowly, because inevitably had to support Ava's words.
If Tira were to marry a foreign man, outside of Gracetian, from a country that did not know the absolute monarchical system of government like Gracetian, his peerage could have to be lost to him, he may even have to leave the Gracetian court, although he is entitled to hold a stake in the Adalvino company.
Only, if until his descendants also married people outside the Gracetian, then at that time, inevitably he had to sell shares of his share to others who still have Adalvino blood.
For some it may seem unfair, but in a country with an absolute monarchy, all the rules are, rules made by the King are laws that must be obeyed by anyone who is a citizen of the kingdom.
“Don't discuss any more soul mate issues for now, just focus on your lecture. Youth will never come back.” The closing words from Ava before they reached the apartment parking lot, made both Victor and Tira speechless.

“Good afternoon Pa…. Why are you two waiting for me here? Is there anything important to talk about?” Tira who was a little jolted in shock because as soon as entering the apartment door was presented with a view of the figures of his parents sitting side by side in the living room with tense faces, immediately asked the two of them.
Tira's question was not immediately answered by Victor and Ava who immediately stood up from his seat as soon as he saw Tira, walking towards the table which was a little far from where he stood, take a pink box from it, and place it on the living room table where Victor is still sitting there, with Tira standing nearby.
“Tira... you have to explain what all this means...” Ava answered Tira's question after putting down the pink box, which made Tira's chest instantly beat hard, as she began to be able to guess what was happening at the moment.
How could you hold the box that the intruder used to send me? Where did the box come from?
Tira said inwardly while holding back the phas and the intense tremors in her chest due to the worry and uneasiness that were haunting her at the moment.
