MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
ANOTHER PRINCESS OF GRACE
Ernest often searched and got as much information about Tira as he could get, as a personal matter for him.
Many things about Tira from the servants or people who know Tira so Ernest knows enough about Tira's favorite food, hobbies, or the type and model of clothing that he likes.
Ernest had also heard that Tira had quite good cooking skills, however, Ernest really did not know and did not expect about the cooking ability of Tira who could process Souffle and wallet bird nest soup that is known to be difficult to make it.
If only it was Alvero or Deanda who he knew were clearly so fluent when it came to cooking, especially Deanda, Ernest wouldn't be too surprised if until the two people with the number one position in Gracetian it could make Souffle and bird nest soup wallet, but Tira….
For Ernest it was a surprising thing to know Tira was able to cook two difficult foods.
“Why with your face Ernest? Don't be surprised so dong..” Tira said with an amused smile still on her face looking at how Ernest who was currently looking at her unblinkingly, and looked disbelieving at what Tira had just said.
“Ah... I really did not expect...if you are really good at cooking.” Ernest said in awe and his eyes watched Souffle and Tira's bird nest soup.
“Actually when compared to Brother Alvero and brother Deanda, my ability is really nothing. You know they're so good at food processing. If we don't know both of them well, we must also find it hard to believe they're both so good at cooking.” Tira said in a low-key manner while taking a vegetable spoon, and poured a few spoons of bird nest soup over Ernest.
“But still you are great to cook both dishes.” Ernest said with a tone of voice and a look of admiration, making Tira's face slightly reddened.
“So I accidentally cooked Souffle and wallet bird nest for not being able to sleep, I just want to fill my free time..” Tira said in a soft voice and a reddened face, as his words showed Ernest how all night he kept thinking about Ernest with a heart that continued to flowery as well as pounding, so that makes it difficult to sleep because his mind can not be separated at all from Ernest.
The night passed, Tira realized she was like a madman who kept on shadowing Ernest's face, which even made her imagine that Ernest was sitting on the edge of the bed and lulling him over.
Not wanting to get more dissolved in the mind that began to lead towards things that are not supposed to, finally Tira just looking for another busyness to divert his mind, and the thing that immediately occurred to him was cooking.
“Ah... how about you get sick from lack of sleep?” Ernest said as he gently stroked Tira's face with the tip of his index finger.
Beautiful face, skin that feels very soft, you really have a charm that is difficult to forget. Hah... In the future I I have to prepare not only to face the opposition of the two of our families, but also to face the men who will fight over you. Especially at this time, the daughter of the descendants of the Adalvino family who are single, the only one you are, after princess Alaya married duke Evan, and daughter Clara died in an accident at that time.
(Princess Clara was one of Alvero's cousins who died in an accident on her wedding day to crown prince Hector Adrojan of Crownhill who some time ago thought that Alaya was the wife she was looking for all this time, because until now Hector did not believe that his wife had died in the accident. The next novel about Clara's daughter and Hector's crown prince was titled: The Lost Bride).
Ernest is aware that the existence of every Gracetian princess with Adalvino blood is a popular girl that is desired by many men.
In addition to being the daughter of descendants of the Adalvino family is known to be very beautiful, the Adalvino family is also known for its wealth which makes men hope to be part of the Adalvino family so that their business is bigger because there is the name Adalvino behind the person they marry.
“Why look at me like that Ernest?” Tira who saw how Ernest continued to look at him endlessly with a smile continued to linger on his lips, and his fingertips continued to gently stroke his face, making Tira's chest pounding was not careless and her face was getting reddened due to Ernest's friendly actions on her at this time.
“I was thinking..How can God create a girl as beautiful as you, and I get the grace to get the love of this beautiful girl in front of me.” Ernest said as he stopped the movement of his fingertips stroking Alaya's cheeks, and then with both hands, he grabbed Alaya's hand tightly before Ernest landed a friendly kiss on the back of Alaya's hand with his lips, and then with his lips, making Tira's entire body feel like he was stung by electricity which caused his chest to pound even more.
“Tira... I really hope, we can both face all the problems and storms that will clearly be in front of us in the future. I know it won't be easy to make people think of a love that doesn't look at the difference in status of the two of us, but I'll try to convince everyone that I deserve your love, and can make you happy forever.” Ernest said without removing his lips from the back of Tira's hand which should make him hold himself back from shedding his tears while saying his words just now.
Ernest's words, made Tira's eyes feel hot and wet even though the tears did not drip.
With a slow movement Tira put his forehead on the head of Ernest who was looking down in front of him while holding his hand tightly and continued to kiss the back of his hand nonstop.
Although at this time Tira could not see Ernest's bowed face, Tira was sure that there was currently a feeling of insecurity, confusion, fear, fear, the worry in Ernest that he could not express with words in front of Tira.
And Tira knew Ernest couldn't say everything he was feeling right now to her because Tira knew Ernest, behind his friendly and kind-hearted demeanor, he is the one who will choose to hide his feelings so as not to make his loved ones worry.
“I will face everything with you Ernest. I'll stay by your side, no matter what. And we both, will prove together to everyone, that we are indeed destined to be together and love each other.” Tira's soft words made Ernest instantly close his eyes to prevent the tears that had peeked at the ends of his eyes from dripping out.
“I love you Ernest said softly before finally with all his might to suppress his feelings so as not to show his heart that was stirring in front of Tira and to keep his face away from the hands of Tira that he held so tightly earlier.
