MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
ONGOING RESEARCH (1)
“More than anyone we know that my wife is very familiar with jewelry, not just design, but also raw materials, including gold.” Ornado said confidently and proudly while saying about it.
Ornado could have invited Cladia to come to the room and helped to identify the material from the pocket watch, but….
Ornado doesn't want Cladia to be in that place and hear all the serious talk about Theo and Eliana, because for Ornado it would make Cladia feel uncomfortable.
“Ad... Just give it to Ernest or Erich, let one of them drive it to Cladia. You stay here.” Alvero immediately said as he signaled to Erich and Ernest, to receive a pocket watch from Ornado's hand.
Seeing that, Ernest immediately volunteered to deliver the clock to Cladia.
A quick glance before they left the dining room, Ernest had seen how Tira who had just stepped into the dining room from the other door.
From the beginning Ernest entered the dining room, his eyes were immediately busy looking for the figure of Tira, but because he did not manage to find it, his eyes were indeed immediately busy looking for the figure of Tira, but because he did not manage to find it, finally Ernest gave up and thought he would be able to meet Tira when later he had to take Tira to campus.
However, seeing the figure of Tira who had just come to the dining room while Ernest himself had to go follow Alvero and the others, made Ernest quickly volunteered to return to the dining room to meet Cladia, who was not at all, while looking for an opportunity to see if Tira was still there.
Even though Ernest was aware that he most likely could only see the figure of Tira from afar, but no matter how small it was, he did not want to miss it to be able to look at the beautiful face of his lover.
Tira herself, after Ernest sent a message to her once her mission with Erich was over, fell asleep immediately after setting an alarm so that she was not late to wake up and could attend a breakfast with the others, where would he also definitely have the chance to meet Ernest.
But it was unexpected, Tira who all night could not sleep because she waited for news from Ernest, after actually reading the message she was waiting for, instead he immediately fell asleep so sound alarm sound from the phone that has been set, not heard at all by his ears.
Not just once, but after more than 5 times the alarm went off, it could only make Tira open her eyes with difficulty.
As soon as he saw the clock that had shown he was late waking up almost an hour from the time he had planned, with a quick movement as well as hurry, Tira jumped down from the bed, jumping out of bed, and try to finish getting ready for the dinner table quickly.
Unfortunately, despite the rush, Tira was only able to see Ernest from behind, even then only from afar, because Tira was really late to come in the dining room.
By the time Tira arrived, Alvero and the others had already finished their breakfast, and intended to go to another room to discuss the matter of Ernest and Erich's mission last night.

As soon as he entered the dining room again, Ernest's eyes immediately caught the figure of Tira who happened to be talking to Cladia and Evelyn.
“Sorry Mrs Cladia, can I interrupt your time for a moment?” In a polite manner Ernest asked Cladia who immediately turned to look at Ernest.
Other than Ernest, both Evelyn and Tira looked at Ernest, who seemed to be silencing his smile in a friendly manner, with eyes glancing at Tira silently.
Just by stealing a glance secretly towards Tira, but for Ernest it was enough to make him feel satisfied, and make his chest beat fast because of that.
Although the others were not very conscious, Tira could feel that Ernest's eyes were looking at her with a meaningful gaze, filled with love and it was clear how men missed Tira so much, even though within hours, they had not been separated for long.
Realizing all that, Tira could only hold back her smile, slightly holding her breath.
“O, Ernest, what's the problem? Is there anything I can help you with?” Cladia asked as she looked towards Ernest who had just greeted her.
“Please excuse me for interrupting your time, I was asked by Mr. Ornado to give this to Mrs Cladia, in order to be able to do an assessment of the material of this time I say.” Ernest said as he thrust the pocket watch at Cladia.
With hesitation and slow movements, Cladia took the pocket watch from Ernest's hand, of course, so that his hand did not touch the slightest hand of Ernest yagn was smoothing the pocket watch.
Moments later, Cladia looked at the clock with a very serious face, with her hands several times stroking the clock.
“This watch is made of metal coated in gold, but the chain of this watch, is actually pure gold with a content of more than 80 percent. On the inside of the clock, the decoration of which are the points..is a real diamond with a high enough carat.” Cladia said with a confident look and her hand measured towards Erenst, extending the pocket watch towards Ernest back.
“Thank you for your explanation Madam, I will return to meet your noble and others. Good afternoon Mrs Cladia..” Ernest immediately said goodbye to Cladia, even though he actually still wanted to enjoy the existence of Tira even though he could only steal a glance without daring to say hello let alone invite her to speak.

“As Cladia said, it looks like this thing is very valuable to its owner, because it can be seen from the material is quite expensive.” Alvero said, flipping through the clock, and sighed as his eyes stared intently at the Eliana family symbol belonging to the barons.
“Evan, among us, you are the most memorized person and know the symbols of noble families in the country of Gracetian.” Alvero said as he thrust towards Evan, the clock in his hand.
As soon as Evan picked up the watch and checked about the symbol engraved behind the pocket watch, Evan immediately placed the watch on the table in front of Alvero.
“This is indeed a symbol belonging to the Baron family owned by Eliana, who was passed down by generations to her descendants.” Evan said after a slow thump.
