MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
STILL TRYING TO PROVE IT AGAIN
Steven himself, as a palace guard, inevitably had a higher sensitivity compared to others due to the demands of the job, could feel that from then on Tira was staring at him without blinking, so that made him glance at the rearview to ascertain whether Tira was staring at him.
Tira's serious eye gaze made Streven palpitate softly while taking a deep breath to relieve the awkwardness on him.
“Sorry Princess... is there a problem with my head or hair? Why does the Princess look at him like that?” Finally Steven ventured to ask Tira.
Is it possible that chatting with Steven could make my chest pound?
Tira said inwardly while smiling towards Steven.
“No Steven, I was just curious about your life all along. May I ask you a few things about you?” Tira's question makes Steven a little clumsy.
Frankly, although not for a while Steven became a palace guard, but he had never been a personal bodyguard of one of the princesses or princes, so Tira's friendly and gentle attitude made him often stunned and amazed, at the same time giving a sense of pride to himself.
“Eh. Whatever Princess asks, I will try to answer it well.” Steven said with focused eyes looking forward but his ears were wide open to focus on what Tira was going to say.
After some time Tira chatted with Steven about Steven's life, even his hobbies and family, Tira was silent for a while while taking a deep breath.
Why is it that up until this moment, I didn't feel any debate when talking about Steven's life? Even if to be honest, I'm not really interested in Steven's life, but why....
Tira stopped her words inwardly.
Even thinking about who was close to Ernest, what he liked made me feel so curious. What possible....
Tira again stopped her words inwardly again.
Maybe I was wrong on target? Is Edi supposed to be escorting me today? Come to think of it, Steven's reserved nature was indeed very much different from Ernest. But Edi has a resemblance to Ernest who is always humble to anyone and always looks fun.
While saying in his wishful heart, Tira floated on the figure of Edi who was friendly and generous with a smile like Ernest, unlike the figure of Steven who does not talk much and his serious face is always attached to any situation.
Although the figure of Steven is not as cold as Erich, but Steven is also not a person who can be said to be friendly let alone cheap smile.
Then what should I do now?
Tira began to think of other ways to prove what was happening to her.
"Well...." The long sound from Tira makes Steven immediately glance at the rearview mirror and try to guess what happened, why Tira looks a little sad for his face, and why, so he wondered in his heart whether he had done anything wrong to Tira or mispronounced when answering all of Tira's questions earlier.
And curiosity mixed with guilt continues to haunt Steven throughout the journey that finally took place in silence, without any words spoken from the lips of Tira.
"Daughter. We've arrived." With a doubtful voice Steven said to the dreamy looking Tira with eyes staring towards the car window beside him while holding back his forehead with the back of his palm.
"Ah yes. Thanks Steven. You better go back to the apartment now and ask Edi to replace you." Steven immediately turned his head with shocked eyes looking at Tira doubtfully because of Tira's words just now.
"Sorry Princess... Have I done anything wrong to the Princess?" With a doubtful voice, Steven said to Tira for feeling bad.
"Eh?" Tira who was preparing her bag to carry her down immediately turned to look at Steven.
Well, did my orders just offend Steven? That's not what I meant. How else would you like? I need to be able to find the answer to what happened to me. I want to find the answer today. For that I want to convince myself more with the help of the existence of Edi. If Steven's whereabouts had no effect on me, would Edi's whereabouts not have any effect on me either?
Tira said inwardly as she showed Steven her smile so as not to feel unwell.
"It's not so Steven. There's something I want to talk to Edi about. You take it easy, I want Edi to replace you not because you've made a mistake." Tira hurriedly said the reason why suddenly wanted Edi to replace Steven.
Although still with curiosity, Steven finally quickly moved to open the car door for Tira.
"But Princess, if I dare to leave the Princess unguarded while waiting for Edi's arrival, surely Mr. Ernest will scold and blame me." Steven said as he pulled back his body, giving way to Tira who had gotten out of the car with a bag on his shoulder.
"I'll wait until Edi comes after me to this place and I go to the mall. I myself will contact Ernest to convey my wish just now. Don't worry, Ernest won't scold you because this is my request." Tira tried to convince Steven who honestly did not dare to refute the orders from Tira despite being curious about Tira's attitude which he thought looked a little strange today.
