"Tira.." -...." The sound of Anna's call awakens Tira from her daydream.
"Eh, yes, how? I'm sorry I didn't listen to you." Tira said as she turned to look towards Anna.
"Are you so happy to be in a group with Ernest that you look at it?" Anna said as she teased Tira who could only smile thinly, while looking at the monitor screen back, as if making sure she was in the same group.
"She should be happy and lucky to be in a group with me." Tira whispered softly as she passed away, making Anna whose eyes were slightly widened immediately ran away following her.
"Eh, what do you mean? Why is he the lucky one?" Anna asked with a face that looked so curious and immediately pulled Tira's wrist after they were quite far away from the other crowd.
"Because he's not really a music guy like us." Tira said as she walked further away so that what she was about to talk to Anna about Ernest was not heard by the others.

"Eh?"
"Correct?"
Some murmurs softly uttered Anna with a face that looked confused and disbelieving by what she heard from Tira's lips, who had just explained who Ernest really was to Anna.
"really. Please dong, close your lips so as not to salivate because of gawking like that." Tira said as she giggled amusedly, looking at Anna's strange face with her lips wide open from gawking, after hearing Tira's story about Ernest.
"Mmm. uh...." Anna closed her lips tightly after swallowing her saliva.
"Want to...." Anna paused her conversation for a moment while glancing at the crowd of students who were alternately reading the announcement on the large monitor screen.
"What is appropriate?" Tira asked as she followed the direction Anna looked at, which coincidentally, Ernest had just come closer towards the monitor screen to see the announcement as well.
Seeing the figure of Ernest, Tira so remember their conversation last night, where Tira conveyed his protest to Ernest, because the existence of Steven and Edi who were like stalkers for him, and made him feel uncomfortable.
Tira tried to tell Ernest that, because for him, the rigid figure of Steven and Edi made it difficult to convey his wishes, and made him more comfortable talking to Ernest.
“No. I don't want them to always be around me like that. You know I've never been used to being watched by a personal bodyguard all this time.” Ernest slightly scratched his brows which did not itch as soon as he heard Tira's complaint.
“Then what about our duty to immediately escort the Princess wherever and however she is? Princess condition is still in dangerous status until the terror was found.” Ernest tried to give an understanding to Tira who immediately sighed.
“But Ernest, I really can't live this way. Moreover, you know the way Steven and Edi escort me secretly is like a stalker who wants to rob me. Over time people will also be suspicious of them if they look so striking like that.” Tira's words made Ernest slightly hold his breath.
Although he feels Steven and Edi are innocent because it is what they know how to do their job well.
“Tell them, while on campus, or wherever you are near me, they don't need to escort me like that.” Tira's words made Ernest scrunch his forehead.
“But I can not be for 24 hours can be near the Princess, let alone outside the apartment and campus environment.” Ernest said in a calm tone of voice.
“Then try to keep you near me, so that I do not need the presence of Steven and Edi, because you are already there. In essence, I only consider you to be my personal bodyguard, not them, so they do not need to be constantly near me. Let them do something else, but please just stay away from me.” Tira's words managed to make Ernest lower his head slightly while swallowing his saliva, upon hearing Tira's words.
Not that Ernest refused and objected to Tira's request, but the more often he was near Tira, Ernest knew his heart would be harder for him to control.
His liking and admiration for Tira, the longer it will certainly get bigger, so in the future it will be difficult for Ernest's heart not to be more attached to the figure of Tira, even though Ernest knows, so that in the future, Ernest knows, his position as Tira's personal bodyguard, his nature is only temporary.
"Ernest... Did you hear my words?” In a soft voice, Tira immediately asked Ernest who looked speechless.
“Sorry.. sorry Princess.. I heard it.” Ernest answered Tira immediately.
“Then you tell them both yes. And figure out how they don't keep following me like stalkers. I know you'll easily arrange that. Thanks to Ernest.” Tira said as she left Ernest who had just nodded his head as soon as Tira ended her words.
Tira held her breath for a moment as the memory of her conversation with Ernest last night ended with Steven this morning and Edi no longer acting like a stalker to her.
“Sit's just that he looks so cool, it turns out he's a knight in the Gracetian country. Is he married?” Tira immediately scrunched her forehead upon hearing Anna's question.
