MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
WANT TO BE SURE
"But Princess...."
"No, Ernest, I've decided I'm going with Steven, and you're preparing yourself for our first task group meeting." Tira immediately disconnected Ernest's words and immediately gave his decision, making Ernest instantly speechless.
"At the very least, let Edi come along with Steven escorting the Princess as well." Ernest who frankly could not calm down to let Tira in a minimal escort, immediately gave a suggestion that Edi could escort Tira with Steven.
Uh, there's no way I'm letting Edi come with Steven, whereas I'm trying to test whether the beatings I felt when I was close to Ernest were also those I felt when I was close to Steven or Edi. For that I have to test it one by one, can not directly both like that.
Tira said inwardly as she scrunched her forehead.
"No, I'm just going to the mall, not a dangerous place because there's going to be a lot of people there. I just want Steven not to get the attention of a lot of people. And I want him not to get too close to me. You know Steven's a stiff guy and can't be flexible about situations. With his style like that, people would immediately think he is very suitable to be a bodyguard." Tira said in her serious tone of voice.
"Because of his rigid nature, tell him not to get too close to me so that people do not suspect. Enough to escort me from far away. I don't want people to think shit because I have a bodyguard like you. Despite you guys, I want my life to be as normal as ever." Tira's words made Ernest hold his breath for a moment.
"Well Princess, I'll give Steven some info on this matter." Finally, in a resigned manner, Ernest responded to an order from Tira, who seemed to bite his lips because in fact, his heart suddenly slipped with guilt upon hearing what Ernest said in his low tone of voice, which seemed unwilling he could not join Tira's escort today.
Why me? Is this not what I want? Why do I imagine Ernest's sad and disappointed face, so I feel guilty for refusing to be escorted by him?
Tira said inwardly while holding her chest that was slightly beating faster with one of her palms.
"In thirty minutes I'm leaving, ask Steven to get ready and take my car to the front of the building." Rather than his heart getting uncomfortable, Tira immediately gave the next order to Ernest could only agree to the order.
"Good Princess. I'll immediately ask Steven to carry out Princess' orders."
"Thank Ernest. I'll be ready too. I'll see you later in the afternoon."
Tira immediately hung up her phone call as soon as Ernest finished his remark.
Be aware of your position Ernest! She's not a girl you can easily reach for. You don't deserve her. Huh! I really have to let today Steven start Tira's daughter if I don't want Erich's words to come true, so I'll end up in a sad love story.
Ernest said inwardly as he stroked his nape.
Indeed, for some time, Ernest was so often reminded of all the advice and warnings from Erich about how he should be able to control himself and his heart when he was with Tira, and as much as possible eliminate the likes that begin to turn into love.
I must not. and have no right to fall in love with you Princess.I'm sorry for being so presumptuous as it turns out, the harder it is to control my heart that has long been captivated by you. I promise I won't do more than secretly admire you. I will be quite satisfied as long as Princess Tira is always happy and lives in peace.
Ernest said inwardly, closing his eyes for a moment, as he adjusted his breath, before he got up from his seat, to look for Steven and tell him what to do this morning.
After all, although Ernest was loyal and so obedient to his leader, aware of his position as a knight, he was actually also included in the nobility, but far below the position of a princess like Tira, he is still a man who has a sense of ego and a normal desire of a man towards the woman he likes.
Naturally, when Ernest fell in love, he also wanted to be close and could have the girl he loved, venting love with the desire to spend time together, both of them, in beautiful places and do romantic things to carve memories between them.
Therefore Ernest several times tried to suppress his mind and heart so that he did not become lazy and ended up with the occurrence of what was feared by Erich all this time, the destruction of his heart by not being able to have the woman he loved.
Although Ernest always seemed friendly and kind, but Erich knew that Ernest was not an easy person to overcome himself if he had to lose the person he loved, because Ernest was the type of person who was willing to die for the people he cared about.
Ernest and Erich's childhood life, in which they had to accept the fate of losing most, even almost their entire immediate family, left Ernest with a tender heart, and the desire to protect and sacrifice from him is very large.
"Steven, get ready to escort princess Tira to the mall immediately." The command from Ernest made Steven who was initially sitting and sharing his experience with Edi immediately rise from his seat with a standby attitude, and, ready to take Ernest's real orders is not willing to let anyone else escort Tira this morning.
