MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
NOT AFRAID, IF YOU ARE
For a while Tira remained sitting quietly in her car, with her face looking so tense, until the figure of Ernest who seemed to run small towards the parking lot immediately stopped as his eyes looked towards the hood of Tira's car that looked dented due to the impact of another object.
Ernest's eyes immediately stared at the bottom of the parking lot where a pink box, which he remembered well, was a characteristic gift usually given by the intruder.
After that, Ernest quickly turned his eyes toward the car where Tira seemed to be silently staring with her face that looked so tense.
“Princess..” With a worried-sounding voice, Ernest called out Tira's name while tapping on the window of Tira's car which quickly turned towards the car window.
“Ernest...” With a quivering sound, Tira's lips hissed at Ernest's name, and her shaking hands also tried to open the door of her car.
“Ernest...” While mentioning Ernest's name back Tira who had managed to open the door of his car directly moved his body to the side, intending to get out of the car hurriedly, and then he would leave, but his unprepared body became shrewd and almost fell down.
Looking at Ernest at this time for Tira was like seeing a guardian angel, after having previously had the figure of a life-depriving angel trying to disturb him.
“Sorry Princess.. sorry I came late.” With a quick movement both of Ernest's hands immediately held Tira's shoulder so as not to fall from his seat, and immediately release it as soon as he saw the position of Tira's body was more stable.
“Sorry for my sass Princess..” Ernest immediately apologized as soon as his hand had completely moved away from Tira's body, and he himself immediately knelt beside Tira's car.
“Princess... are you okay? Forgive me for letting the Princess be alone for so long that she has to experience something like this again..” Ernest said with a probing look, to make sure that Tira was completely fine for now.
“Did he hurt you?” Ernest again asked as soon as he saw that Tira seemed to be silently pensive not answering Ernest's previous question.
“No... no Ernest…. I'm doing fine. He just threw it on the hood of the car. Luckily I was already in the car and locked the car door.” After Tira felt calmer due to Ernest's presence nearby, she attempted to answer Ernest's question.
“I will bring this object to be my consideration looking for clues ready the perpetrator of terror.” Ernest spoke his words as he grabbed the pink box, though the next second, Ernest moved his hand holding the box behind his back.
Ernest deliberately did that so that Tira's eyes would no longer look at the box, and frightened her.
“It's best tonight Princess comes home together with my car. I will contact Steven and Edi to take the Princess car, and directly bring it to the workshop.” Ernest said as he got up from his knees and stretched out his other hand, which was not holding the gift box from the terrorizer, to help Tira get out of his car.
“Whatever it is, it's up to you Ernest, as long as you take me away from this place.” Tira said in a nervous tone of voice, making Ernest look at her with mixed feelings.
If I could. I want to hug you and make you feel protected. Unfortunately I can't possibly do such a disrespectful thing to you Princess.
“Ernest. I don't want to sit alone behind.” Tira immediately said as he saw Ernest's hand grab the car door handle on the passenger side.
“Eh…. Fine.” Although Ernest was a little surprised by Tira's request just now, Ernest agreed with Tira's request and thought it was only because Tira was being frightened right now, and it might not feel comfortable sitting alone on the passenger bench in the back, although actually Tira deliberately did that because he wanted to start eroding the distance between him and Ernest little by little.
As soon as Ernest opened the car door which was located not far from where Tira's car was parked, Ernest's body was slightly jolted because from the direction in his car it was clearly a perfume commonly worn by Tira, made him hold his breath for a while, because the smell really made him comfortable.
This fragrant perfume is usually smelled from the body of princess Tira. How could I forget, he used this car with Steven.
Ernest said inwardly as he helped Tira get into his car, with his unconscious nose several times taking a deep breath, enjoying the fragrance stored in his car.
“Ernest... please open the gift.” Ernest who was preparing to start his car engine immediately turned his head with shocked eyes looking at Tira upon hearing Tira's request just now.
“Eh... but Princess, why won't it bother you? Let me open it later with the others.” A headband was immediately shown by Tira as soon as Ernest conveyed his idea.
“No Ernest. I usually open it straight away. After all, you are here, I don't need to worry, let alone fear. Right?” Tira's words, inevitably made Ernest immediately lower his head, to hide his face, so that Tira did not see how she was currently holding a proud smile from hearing Tira's statement just now.
The statement to Ernest shows how Tira believes so strongly that she is able to take good care of Tira, and everything will be fine as long as she is with Tira.
“Ernest. I also want to see what else has been sent by the irresponsible terror.”
“Oh.. Yes Princess.” With a slight stutter Ernest answered Tira's words.
Damn it. How can I daydream in the middle of my duty to look after princess Tira. Hah..I think too much about the no-no about princess Tira just because of a little praise from her. Basic Ernest! Keep your attitude and mind even harder from now on!
Ernest was nagging himself inwardly so aware he had just daydreamed.
“Srak..” With a quick movement Ernest opened the gift, with Tira sitting next to him looking at Ernest's hand movements and focusing on the box with an unblinking eye gaze and a thumping chest, between being curious and being afraid.
What else were we sent by the intruder? Is it another declaration of love or a threat like the last one I received? What was my fault with him that he terrorized me like that? Is he someone I've hurt before? Or the person I once blatantly refused his love? But some of the men I rejected were men from the Gracetian, not people I knew in America.
Tira said inwardly while trying to second-guess the contents of the box.
