MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
ERNEST'S REQUEST
“Hah...” Erich mendess.ssahhh slowly, with the chest that came to feel tight, as if he could also feel what Ernest was feeling right now.
Erich knows how Ernest loves Tira for a long time, although his twin brother never said it bluntly about his feelings in front of him or others.
From several times the events that Erich had seen, the man could see how the eyes of Ernest who was always fixated on the figure of Tira, when the beautiful princess was in the reach of his eyes, and that has shown how Ernest has been so interested and loved Tira for a very long time.
Therefore, Erich knew he had to stop everything before it was too late, before something bad happened to Ernest going forward.
“Erich... please. give me a little time. I myself will advance to his highness Alvero, when the time is right…. Sorry Erich, just this once, please give me some time to breathe…. I beg...” Ernest's clear voice was begging him at this moment, making Erich take a deep breath.
From the voice he heard, Erich could guess that right now Ernest must be holding back his cry and his words he just said with trembling lips.
Ernest.... If you behave like this, how should I be able to help you? You really make things more complicated. I know princess Tira is a gentle and kind girl, but can't you give your heart to another girl besides the princess?
Erich said inwardly as he clenched one of his hands that was not holding his phone.
A knight like us... fell in love with a princess? Moreover, we are the personal bodyguards of noble Alvero? We can really be considered as rebels and traitors.
Erich again said in his heart without saying it to Ernest, who he knew, as he did, Ernest knew very clearly all the rules that existed about law and order, as he did, also all the rules that exist in the Gracetian kingdom.
“Ernest...”.
“Please Erich, just for a moment.. Give me a minute.. for I can think clearly, and solve my problem.” Ernest, who again begged him, made Erich speechless a thousand languages, with a heart that also churned violently.
“Just this once...this once was just Ernest…. Suppose today we are not talking about this issue. But promise me to solve your heart problem right away, before you, or your loved ones get hurt.” Erich said trying not to name Tira, even though he knew clearly, who was the girl that Ernest loved at the moment.
“Thanks Erich...”.
“Mmmm Erich answered Ernest's words briefly, because for now, he also did not know what to behave and say to Ernest.
“Better you rest now, calm your mind and heart. There's still so much I have to do now. I must also immediately face the noble Alvero before he rests.” Erich said his last sentence before completely disconnecting his phone to Ernest, who after his conversation with Erich, seemed to remain silently pensive in his place standing, standing up, with his eyes staring straight at the wall of his room that separated between him and Tira.
With a slow step, Ernest walked towards the wall and pressed his hand against the wall that separated his room and Tira's room.
“Princess... I really love you very much, and it feels, after we go through this day together, I know more, if I.. can not be separated from you.. I. will not be able to lose you.” Ernest said quietly, as if Tira was in front of him right now, and could hear what he had said just now.
A notification of the incoming message on his phone, made Ernest sigh before opening the message.
Ernest... Have you slept? I miss you, thank you for this happy day. May you really dream of me tonight. I love you Ernest, really love you.
The message from Tira that ended with a heart-shaped emoji, made Ernest smile, as if the message was a weapon to make him stronger in the future to face reality and keep Tira by his side
“I love you too my love Ernest whispered softly while kissing his phone, before he finally replied to Tira's message, and tried to close his eyes after that, hoping that in his dream, he could find a way out for his relationship problems with Tira.
