MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
ERICH REQUEST
“Ah...it's just your feeling Erich, what's wrong with me? If something happens to me, you will definitely be the first to know about it.” Ernest asked as he let out a small laugh from his lips, making Erich who was on the other side frown as soon as he heard Ernest's current voice.
What the hell's going on? During this time, if something happened to him, and was trying to hide it, Ernest would try to laugh despite being serious and not having any funny happenings.
Erich said inwardly with his forehead still frowning.
Some time ago Erich who did not know what was going on did feel there was something on Ernest that made him want to contact Ernest as soon as possible.
It's just that, just like Ernest, Erich was also so busy that he didn't have time to contact Ernest for this long, let alone that Ernest was usually the one who first contacted Erich, after all, compared to Erich who contacted Ernest.
“Is there anything funny? Why are you laughing? Tell me, actually what you are going through right now.” Without further ado, Erich asked Ernest who immediately scratched his eyebrows upon hearing what Erich asked him.
It seems so hard for me to lie to Erich.
Ernest immediately said inwardly as he immediately looked for an excuse, so that Erich would not continue to scold him as he is today.
“Hah. There's been a lot of things happening to me lately, but you don't have to worry, because I'm fine.
“What being Tira's daughter's personal bodyguard is so hard for you? If you want to retreat, I will try to help you by asking your majesty to revoke her orders to you to remain the personal bodyguard of princess Tira. After all the terror has also been caught, there is no reason for you to stay in this place.” Erich's words made Ernest's eyes widen right then and there with lips that were open because he did not expect that Erich would say that.
“Ap... What do you mean Erich? Why do I have to find it difficult to be a princess bodyguard? Isn't it that all this time the task of being a noble personal bodyguard of Alvero is much more difficult and dangerous for us? But we still do it with pleasure.” Ernest immediately responded to Erich's words while trying to adjust his tone so as not to show his current emotions so that Erich would become more suspicious of him.
“I know you are the one who can best endure the feelings and pain you are experiencing. Being close to the girl you love without being able to express your feelings, isn't that very difficult to live with?” Erich's words made Ernest instantly speechless at that instant.
“Hah…. I know it will get you in trouble and suffer since you received the order to escort the princess back then.”.
“Erich... Why do you say that? For me, it's not as hard as you imagine.” Ernest immediately cut off Erich's words.
It was not unusual for a cold Erich to say such long words at this time, and from there Ernest knew that Erich was so serious about his words and was really worried about him.
“I know you're worried about me, but I'm really fine. Maybe not at this time, but I will tell you everything in the future, because of that..”.
“Ernest... please don't act stupid...” Erich again cut back on Ernest's words which immediately sighed as soon as he saw that Erich seemed to have guessed what had happened between him and Tira, already, it's just that Eric who has always respected Ernest as his brother, did not want to directly accuse without official recognition from Ernest.
Ernest, it seems like what I've been afraid of has really happened.
Erich said inwardly as he recalled the last time how Tira had behaved when Ernest had picked her up earlier.
Although Erich was not in a position close enough to Tira or Ernest, Erich could see their meeting today like the meeting of lovers who were letting go of their longing.
The way Tira looked at Ernest today, Erich could confirm that the gaze was filled with such great longing and love from Tira, albeit physically, Tira and Ernest did not show a friendly attitude between them like hugging each other or kissing each other like other couples when meeting.
From what Erich saw earlier in the Shaw family masion, Erich could see how between Tira and Ernest were two human children who actually loved each other.
With that, for Erich if he did not act now to pull Ernest away, the two of them could he make sure would not be long enough to hold themselves back from tying themselves to a more serious relationship, he said, which will certainly create a palace scene and great opposition will occur from the palace family, especially the two parents of Tira.
“Ernest... hurry back to Gracetian. I'll have your majesty Alvero send another great bodyguard for the princess, if you still feel worried about the safety of princess Tira after you return to Gracetian.” Ernest immediately let out a long sigh while closing his eyes as soon as he heard Erich's words that already resembled an order and also a request for help for him.
The request from Erich made Ernest's chest feel so sore, with a shadow of how sad and hurt Tira would be if she decided to return to the Gracetian now, as Erich told her, Erich told her, making Ernest's eyes feel hot.
Although from the beginning Ernest had expected things to come like today if he was determined to still express his love for Tira, he said, but the pain that Ernest felt at this time really made him want to shout loudly to express his protest, why to love each other so difficult for him.
“Ernest...” Erich quietly called Ernest's name as soon as he felt Ernest was silent for a long time without saying a word after Erich said his last words.
