MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
STRESSFUL SITUATION FOR ERNEST
“Why is the door of Mr. Theo's workspace open like this?” A voice from the lips of a man with a firm tone and heard quite loud rang out in Ernest's ears.
Hearing the huff-pitched scream from the man, it appeared that some people were walking closer to the door of Theo's workroom.
“Sorry Sir, this afternoon we have confirmed that the door of Mr. Theo's workspace has been locked tightly.” One of the people who came closer to it answered the question of the person who according to Ernest's estimation is a person who is quite important because the other residents called him “tuan.”
Perhaps he was one of the confidants of Mr. Theo, or the chief overseer of this house, the one who was given the trust to guard and organize this house.
Ernest began to second-guess in his heart with his eyes trying to follow the movement of the flashlight rays moving around the room, trying to find an opportunity to hide better than his current position.
“What really happened? Come with me to check inside!” The stern voice was again heard, followed by the footsteps of the person who entered the room, and also the light from the flashlight was seen circling the room, making Ernest inevitably attach his body to the inside of Theo's workbench, and in a slow motion, Ernest moves his legs, moving his legs, and into the gap in the middle of the desk, and covered his body with Theo's work chair.
The movement of the chair that was pushed slowly by Ernest could not be seen by those people, because other than the black color of the chair fused with the dark atmosphere around it, Ernest continued to observe the movement of the flashlight beam that seemed to be circling the room.
As soon as the light beam was seen away from his position, with a slow motion, Ernest tried to move the chair bit by bit to cover his body and hide under the table perfectly.
“You! Check the area around the closet and the shelf! You are! Check the area near the painting. And you! Check around master's workbench Theo!” The man again let out his voice with his commanding attitude.
“Good Sir!” The three people who got the order to check it immediately answered the male's order and moved according to that direction.
As the person who was ordered to inspect the area near Theo's workbench began to approach, Ernest held his breath with a serious face, and the eyes stared intently at the feet of the man who was moving in the workbench area slowly and moved the flashlight in his hand to check.
As soon as the man in charge of examining Theo's workbench area moved away, Ernest slightly exhaled, though not yet feeling fully relieved, as the others were still struggling in other areas, stay in that room.
“Sorry Sir, we did not find anything suspicious in the area near the working table of Mr. Theo.”
“So also with me Mr.”
Hearing the reports of the three people he gave orders to, the man seemed to circle back all corners of the room with a probing look.
But once he was sure there was nothing to suspect in the place, the man was seen sighing.
“Then you go check the other place, while I will catch up with the people who are checking the electrical panel room.”
“Good Sir!” The words of the three men were followed by their movement away to get out of the room.
Ernest had already breathed out his leg the moment he heard the sound of the door being locked as they all walked out of the place.
Wretch! They have a spare key to the door of this room. It must have been the man with the firm voice who held the spare key from the door of this room. If I were to break the key right now, surely the sound of movement I made would be heard by them when I started to insert a wire to open the door. If they were still near that door, they would know my movements.
Ernest said inwardly as he shifted the chair that had covered his body that was hiding under the table, and moved
After coming out of his hiding place, with careful movement so as not to cause sound, and keep from him so as not to hit any of the objects in the room, he said, Ernest moved closer to the door and pressed his ear against it, trying to hear if there was still a sound of movement behind the door.
It is no longer heard the voice of people talking or the sound of footsteps, but whether the outside conditions are really safe or not, I do not dare to be sure. If only I had also brought a watch like the one worn by Erich, the one given by Mr. Ornado, it would definitely be a lot easier for me to get out of this room without fear of being noticed by the residents of this house.
Ernest said in his heart and inevitably had to admit how the sophistication of the watch that Ornado had given Erich, it really is a very helpful tool in situations like the one he is currently experiencing.
