MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
THOUGHTS EVERYWHERE
“Klek..” A voice indicating that the door lock had opened after Ernest attached his fingers to the digital key made Tira smile with a satisfied face, while Ernest looked clumsy with a face of doubt staring towards the inside of the apartment owned by Tira.
"Successfully...." Tira said happily as she stepped into the apartment with light steps, while Ernest was still faithfully fixed in his place.
"Ernest... Why are you still there? Don't you have to do your job as usual?" Tira who finally realized that Ernest did not follow his footsteps into the apartment immediately turned his head and rebuked Ernest.
"Eh. Yes Princess. What's up?" Tira immediately scrunched her forehead as soon as she heard Ernest's question that was only realized from her daydream so that her face looked confused, because she did not concentrate on what Tira said before.
"Lho... Isn't it usual that you always check inside my apartment before I enter? To make sure everything is safe and okay?" Tira said with a smile looking at Ernest who looked nervous because Tira reminded how he had almost neglected his duties.
Ow hell! How could I be such a dazed person and forget about my duties and obligations as Tira's daughter's personal bodyguard?
Ernest grumbled at himself inwardly as he moved quickly to do as Tira had just said.
"Do you think everything is safe? Because you did the check this morning?" Tira asked Ernest.
"No Princess. I have to do what is standard in my work." Ernest immediately answered Tira's words.
"Then you can start doing it now." While saying her words, Tira slightly shifted her body, as if giving Ernest a wide path to enter her apartment.
"Yes Princess.... I'll do my job soon." With a hurry Ernest immediately moved towards the inside of Tira's apartment and began to do the usual sweeping and inspection.
With his eyes looking so alert, Ernest returned to his usual checks, with Tira trailing behind him and walking to follow Ernest wherever he went.
Ernest's focus was not so much on what Tira was doing now, but because Tira kept following him even as Ernest started to enter Tira's room to make sure everything was okay, ernest's heart began to pierce again, and made the heart that had been a little calm, react again and make trouble by starting to beat faster again.
The line of clothes and also all the accessories neatly arranged in the walk in closet area, certainly makes Ernest secretly imagine how beautiful Tira with hundreds of beautiful and attractive clothes, it was, some of them are clothes with famous brands that have gone worldwide.
Luxury clothing with a famous brand, is not new to Ernest who was before Alvero married often became a person who sometimes prepare clothes that will be worn by the young king.
Moreover, Ernest was also not a poor person who could not afford to buy clothes like that.
But thinking that what he was seeing now was the line of clothes belonging to the girl he liked so much, inevitably made Erneat's mind become deadlocked.
When entering the bathroom area that is part of the room, it would obviously make Ernest's wishful thinking as a normal man imagine a no-no about how to tease the figure of Tira who just finished bathing and just wrapped with a sheet of towel, he said, in a fresh body condition and a little wet because of water.
Crazy one! Absolutely insane! Why would my brain be so perverted like that about princess Tira? I've been so rude to him. If Tira's daughter finds out what she has in mind, she'll kick me right back into Gracetian tonight. And maybe it will end with the revocation of the knight status I have.
Ernest moaned inwardly in guilt, though Tira let alone others knew what was raging in his mind.
“Ernest... is everything okay? Or does anything look suspicious in my room?” The question from Tira really made Ernest realize that Tira had been following him, and it had only worsened his heart condition which was a little out of control tonight.
Jeez princess...if the princess continues to be near me like this, how can I work well?
Ernest said inwardly as he slightly turned his head back, although he did not really look towards Tira who was still loyal behind Ernest.
“Ah... sorry Princess, I have to pay more attention to all the things that are in this room so that nothing is missed. Moreover, last night the Princess had regained terror up to twice a day. Hopefully the security system in this apartment really works well. But I must remain vigilant against any bad thing.” Ernest said without daring to head towards Tira.
“Looking at how neat the terrorer works and so powerful the situation, I am sure he is a reckless person but also meticulous and careful in acting.” Ernest's words made Tira sigh, but on the other hand Tira's heart was delighted to see how Ernest seemed so concerned about his safety.
