For Ernest, as a man, he must be strong, and be able to fight for Tira well, showing that he can be a man in charge of the woman he loves.
“Don't worry Princess, we will definitely be able to deal with everything well while holding hands tightly.” Ernest who had raised his head again said as he stroked the hair on Tira's head which greeted him with a sweet smile.
I know you're not in good shape right now. You will face many difficulties and pressures due to my existence as your lover. I really hope that, no matter what happens, you keep your heart set on choosing me to the end.
Tira said inwardly as she prayed, hoping that she and Ernest would both be strong against every barrier of their love in the future.
Ernest's every word as well as the look in his eyes, always managed to calm his troubled heart.
Honestly, since deciding to become Ernest's lover, Tira did not not not know that their love path would not be easy.
He as the only child of both parents can ensure that both parents will certainly not accept if he chooses Ernest as a man who will accompany his life in the future as his partner.
But the love he felt for Ernest, and seeing how Ernest loved and treated him made Tira determined to keep Ernest even though she knew her family would go all out against him.
“I trust you Ernest, it's just. Please don't call me princess. It makes me feel even more that there is such a long distance between us.” Tira said with a smile and brought closer the bowl he had filled with soup towards Ernest.
“Ah... that's not what I mean. sometimes I feel very comfortable calling you princess. For me, even though you are not a princess, but for me, you are still a princess that I must take care of and protect, also love well.” Ernest said with a smile.
“Okay then, it's up to you, but don't always call me with the princess, because I really like it when I hear you say my name softly like all day yesterday.” Tira answered Ernest's words while giving a signal to Ernest to enjoy the soup he had prepared for Ernest just now.
“I will soon have to return to the mansion, because brother Enzo wants to discuss some things before our meeting with Mr. Luis later.”.
“Hah...” Ernest slightly mendeee.saah slowly heard Tira say about the plan of his meeting with Luis, although he knew indeed the plan would certainly be executed, there was no him, agree or disagree him.
“Ah, Mr. Ernest... Why does your face look so hard? As if to release my departure to a distant place?” Tira who could see that Ernest was still not willing to let him go to meet Luis to say his thanks said while holding back his gel laugh.
“Be careful later when meeting with Luis.” Ernest said without naming the pack in front of Luis, because actually in terms of age, Ernest knew that Luis was almost the same age as him, even Ernest was a year older than the young lecturer, he said, made him so reluctant to call him by the name of sir.
“Did you forget who I was going to see Mr Luis with? Enzo's brother and Duke Evan. Do you doubt the ability of the great general Gracetian to protect me well?”
“It's true Luis won't be able to do anything to you as long as there's a prince Enzo and a duke Evan near you, but what about the later times when the two of them are no longer around you?”
“And there's you Ernest? Won't you always be near me?” The backlash from Tira made Ernest really not struggling.
“Ernest, what exactly do you think of Mr Luis? It feels like your fear of her is not just jealousy, because you know I don't have any feelings for her.” Tira's words made Ernest who had just finished a mouthful of soup into his mouth stop the movement of his hand that was holding a spoon and stared at Tira while taking a deep breath.
“I hope my outreach doesn't scare you, and it makes you more alert...”.
“What happened to Mr Luis? Why are you saying that?” Tira asked with a frown.
“From some evidence and cctv footage, I observed some strange things that had happened, as if your successor was not just Robin, not just one person. From the results of the investigation it is proven Robin is the person who terrorized you so far. But from some incident I saw not only Robin the culprit.” Ernest's words inevitably made Tira's hair goosebumps.
“Do you remember when in the near future, you received a package throw containing a chucky doll, but also flowers on the back of your car hood?” Tira answered Ernest's question with a nod of his head with a questioning face.
“If I try to calculate the time, it seems that it can't be the thing that the time distance is so close, done by the same one person. Not to mention do you remember when we were in class and suddenly Luis walked into a class that should not be the room where he taught?” Again Tira answered Ernest's question with a nod of his head.
“At that time I saw a cloth wedged in the drawer of the lecturer's desk, and there I saw a cloth with initials that seemed to be the letters T and L, and there I saw a cloth with the initials, same with the usual ones found on the hat commonly worn by Robin. It's just that we need to remember that Robin in doing the action so far, from the cctv recording never use initials TL in his attributes except the hat he wears to cover his face.” Ernest's words really made Tira gawk with her incredulous eyes.
“What does that mean... You suspect Mr. Luis.... all this time also... is my successor?” With a little stammered Tira asked Ernest who would not immediately nod his head to answer Tira's question.
“How possible...”.
“I even suspect that the one who tried to sedate you at that time was not Robin, but Luis, because of the characteristics described by Vincent and Edi, physically, physically, the perpetrator is more like Luis than Robin.” Ernest stopped his words for a while while recalling in some cctv footage that had caught Robin, Ernest could see there were some events where the figure of the person was not like Robin, he said, but it's more like Luis.
“It hasn't been proven clearly, but there are a few other things that make me suspect that Luis has long known that Robin is the one who often terrorizes you, and he's trying to do the same thing under conditions similar to what Robin did, so that one day if anyone gets caught on terror charges it's Robin, and he can keep wandering around free. It's still just my suspicion, but I'm sure soon I'll get a chance to prove my suspicions.
“Ernest... Then what should we do so that Mr. Luis is immediately caught if indeed he also terrorized me? He must be better prepared now that Robin's been caught.” Tira hurriedly cut off Ernest's long words.
