MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
SECRETLY ENCHANTED
Although Ernest's attitude looked so awkward when sitting next to Tira, but how Tira spoke with a relaxed attitude to him, making Ernest gradually feel relaxed.
Moreover, throughout telling about whatever was on the campus, all the rules, the people, including the lecturers and also the librarian, Tira often laughed and smiled broadly while staring at Ernest.
"So... Do you understand the situation there? Can you imagine it?" The question that Tira asked after a long time trying to explain the atmosphere and life on the campus, made Ernest smile.
Just this time I realized that it turned out, sometimes, that Tira's daughter looked so chatty, not as usual.
Ernest said inwardly, holding himself back from smiling amusedly in front of Tira, feeling Tira's attitude which turned out to be quite talkative in front of him, when there was no one else.
Looking at the figure of Tira like today, in a position so close to him, inevitably Ernest must admit that his heart rippled more every time he got a chance to stare at the pretty face of the Gracetian princess.
A rare opportunity that used to be, just thinking about and imagining it for Ernest was a very musty thing.
But from the day that Alvero asked Ernest to pick up Tira at the palace and take her to the penthouse, Ernest always hoped that one day, he would get a chance to get close to Tira again, and talk to him.
It was unexpected that the opportunity came again when Ernest did not think about it at all, with a period not too long from the first time he was near Tira at that time, he said, as the driver who was waiting for him to leave.
And until now, being near Tira, still made Ernest feel awkward and his heart was always jumping to and fro in there.
"Ernest! Are you daydreaming?" Tira's question that was uttered while shaking her hands in front of Ernest's face, made Ernest gasp in shock.
"Ah... Princess... What's wrong?" With a slightly nervous voice, Ernest immediately answered Tira's greeting with a question back, which was enough to make Tira smile amusedly.
"It seems like you were really daydreaming, huh Ernest? Otherwise, there's no way you'd get that surprised." Tira said while taking the phone that he had placed in front of him.
"Eh. No Princess.... I'm sorry." Ernest's answer, which increasingly showed his nervous attitude, made Tira more amusedly smile.
"OK-okay. Here are some pictures I took while I was in college. Let's see...." Without hesitation and feeling awkward, Tira said while showing her photos against the background of various locations in the campus, whether buildings or parks, or not, even lockers where he could store his belongings on campus.
For Ernest, the cold temperature of the AC room did not make the sudden sultry feeling he felt could easily disappear from him.
Why does the air around me feel so hot all of a sudden?
Ernest said inwardly while trying to stare at the handphoe screen that Tira was thrusting towards him.
Through the photos, Ernest wanted to get his mind distracted, but the photos where most of the figure of Tira there, actually made Ernest hold his breath more often.
Tira with a variety of photo poses and also the clothes he wears, he said, make it inevitably Ernest must admit that the charm of the beautiful girl that makes him no longer focus on the campus building or the park that became the background of Tira, Tira, but instead the focus with dozens of figures Tira in the photo in the gallery of Tira's mobile phone.
"Hows it? Is it good for my college?" And again Ernest had to be shocked when Tira said while pulling back the phone from near Ernest, who was honestly not satisfied to admire the figure of Tira in the photos.
"Ba.. good...." Ernest's slightly choked answer, made Tira smile happily, thinking that Ernest was indeed praising his campus.
"If from the photo alone, it is only 50% of the beauty that you can enjoy, far from the fact that it is more beautiful. Once there, you'll agree with my opinion." Tira said as she looked back at the photos in her phone gallery, with Ernest's eyes trying to glance at what Tira was looking at.

"Ah, finally also in this place." Tira said as he pushed the door of the apartment that had access to it using a fingerprint of his five fingers.
"Come in...." Tira's next order gets Ernest, Steven and Edi inside, with Edi and Steven dragging Tira's wheeled suitcase bag, while their own, left by the entrance, because they will live in an apartment next to Tira's apartment.
"Steven, Edi...." The call from Ernest that he spoke while moving his head slightly to the side and eyes glanced towards the inside of the house, making Steven and Edi immediately nod their heads and step inside Tira's apartment.
'Eh?" Tira slightly muttered in shock to see Steven and Edi who immediately entered his house without saying goodbye,
"Sorry Princess, we have to check this apartment according to our standard rules while on escort duty. We did it to avoid intruders." Ernest immediately gave a penjelan so that there was no misunderstanding so Tira thought they had behaved presumptuously in his residence.
