MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
GROUP TASKS
"O, is that it? I know both of her parents are dead." Tira's reply made Angel quickly turn her head towards Tira with a shocked face.
"Had died? Who is funding his college now? It's not a cheap university here either, you know that." Angel's question made Tira hold her breath a little, trying to think quickly to be able to get the right reason to answer Angel's question.
“What is possible.. Ernest is actually the son of a millionaire? Or a successful and wealthy young entrepreneur, who is disguised as a mediocre man to find the girl of his dreams?” Angel's next question is enough to make Tira gawk in shock.
Uh, why does Angel's mind become like a screenwriter for a romantic fiction movie?
Tira said in his heart while holding back the amused laughter that almost came out because of the words of Angel for whom his imaginary level was quite high for Tira, although not one hundred percent of Angel's thoughts were wrong, but not one hundred percent of Angel's thoughts were wrong, because Ernest is undercover.
"Ah, actually, I don't really know about Ernest's family." Tira said about what was on his mind, because even though he knew Ernest's status as a knight who became Alvero's personal bodyguard, it must have had a lot of treasures, it must have had a lot of treasures, but honestly Tira did not really know the life of Ernest personally all this time.
"O that? In that case, since you are also from Gracetian, you can definitely glean more info about Ernest, and you can tell it to me." With a whisper back, Angel said to Tira who could only nod her head carelessly.
"I'm sorry if we've been waiting for a long time to choose a suitable menu." Angel said while sitting back beside Ernest, while Tira sat right in front of Ernest who still had not touched his lunch because he was waiting for Tira.
"No problem, I'm actually not too hungry, only after this there are more college hours. If I don't eat now I won't be able to enjoy my lunch today." Ernest said with a smile, before his hand reached for the spoon and began to enjoy his lunch, after which Tira first started his lunch.
Even though Ernest is currently posing as Tira's college friend, as a knight who knows very well about the way of life in the Gracetian as an absolute monarchy, making Ernest stare firmly hold on to how he should respect nobles with levels above him, so he deliberately let Tira eat first before he himself.
“Ernest, do you have a brother in America?” Angel immediately tried to open the conversation with Ernest while enjoying his lunch.
“No at all.” With a polite sounding voice, Ernest answered Angel's question which made the girl even more stunned because of Ernest's polite demeanor, and also Ernest's voice which to Angel sounded very melodious.
“Eh Ernest, this weekend me and some friends there is a barbeque event at my family villa. How about you join us, so you can get to know and have more friends on this campus.” Before answering Angel's question, Ernest slightly glanced at Tira who was enjoying the food in front of him, as if not concerned with Ernest and Angel's conversation.
“Sorry, I've had an event with someone this weekend.” With a sweet smile on his face, Ernest immediately rejected Angel's invitation which showed his disappointed face.
“Can your show not be rescheduled?” Angel asked with a hopeful face.
“Sorry, I can't reschedule, because my show was scheduled a long time ago.” With his friendly face, but firm voice and demeanor, Ernest answered Angel's question without the slightest hesitation in it.
Anna who heard Ernest's rejection of Angel's invitation immediately silenced a satisfied smile, despite her head being bowed, pretending to focus on the food in front of her.

“Hah?” Both Angel and several other female students, showed their disappointed faces as they looked on the screen with the campus announcement of the group Romeo assigned to perform instrumental music as their duty.
Those who looked disappointed were those whose names were not written as a group with Ernest, a rising figure and a new idol on campus.
“Eh, Tira, it turns out that you are lucky to be in a group with Ernest, even though I can't be in a group with you two.” Anna, who saw the names in the groups that had been divided, whispered softly to Tira, where some people looked with envious faces towards Tira who was considered lucky because it could be one group with Ernest.
It's lucky that Ernest can be in a group with me. I'm already afraid he'll be caught not being able to play music at all if he's one group with another. It seems that I should contact Brother Alvero immediately, so that Brother Alvero can think of a way that Ernest can pass this test without having to play music in front of the others.
Tira said in his heart with a little worry, realizing that Ernest was indeed a great person in his field as Alvero's personal bodyguard, but in terms of music, he was very good at it, he's really not an expert at it.
Even Tira was suspicious, let alone playing music, just singing, Ernest could not necessarily do that, making Tira feel like she had to contact Alvero immediately and ask for his help so that Ernest's disguise was not revealed.
