MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
A GLUTTONOUS HEART
Tira who realized Ernest was still standing in his place without flinching immediately turned to look at Ernest who was even still leaving the door of his apartment wide open.
"Are you still waiting for Ernest?" Tira's question made Ernest smile with an awkward looking face.
"No Princess.... Not anyone else, just Edi who seemed to be waiting for a long time in the workshop." Ernest quickly tried to find a reasonable reason before he finally closed the door and walked after Tira into the apartment.
"Good night, Princess." Steven immediately got up from his seat and greeted Tira as soon as he saw the figure of Tira entering the apartment.
"Good night Steven." Tira answered the greeting from Steven while smiling amusedly, let alone seen Steven was quite shocked when he saw it, so when he hurriedly got up from his seat, Steven almost dropped the chair he had been sitting on.
Steven himself did not expect that Tira would suddenly come to the apartment he lived with Ernest, because Ernest had not said anything to him.
Although Steven is a man with a quiet personality, but he is also one of the people who admire Tira as a beautiful and meek Gracetian princess.
Like Ernest, Steven was among many palace guards who admired the figure of Tira who was known not only beautiful, but meek and kind.
Despite the admiration in Steven's heart, like Ernest's admiration for Deanda, not like Ernest's admiration for Tira, which was based on having fallen in love with the beautiful princess.
"Daughter.. Is there anything we can help you with?" With a doubtful voice and a respectful attitude Steven asked Tira who for him felt strange because he suddenly appeared in the apartment where they lived, which must have been a little messy since the three of them who lived in that place were all men.
Before Tira answered her question, with a movement as fast as she could, Steven immediately picked up the plastic bag containing the food wrapping that was near the computer table and hurriedly held it tightly behind his body, holding it tightly, before he gets a chance to throw it in the trash.
Tira who saw how nervous and clumsy Steven was could only hold back his gelatinous smile.
"No Steven, I just wanted to come with you to see who might put flowers on the hood of my car. Maybe there's a clue from the tape to be able to establish who the intruder is." Tira said as he glanced at the computer screen, where Steven had started to open the cctv recording that he had managed to get even though he had not had time to play the cctv recording because he was waiting for Ernest.
"Aah?" Steven immediately muttered softly with a puzzled face upon hearing what Tira had just said just now.
Princess Tira wants to see the cctv footage? Why not just leave this kind of matter to us? After all, a princess as gentle as Tira's daughter doesn't feel suitable to be involved in things like this.
Heartily wondering, Steven could only give his comments inwardly because to him it was so strange, people like Tira came along to do such a thing, too, a daughter who for Steven is better suited to learning flower arranging than looking at cctv recordings and doing analysis.
Moreover, almost the entire palace knew how the martial ability of the rumored Gracetian empress was very high, and only king Alvero could defeat her decisively.
And rumors about how Alvero had to beat Deanda in martial arts in order to marry her have become something that is often talked about by palace residents who often feel curious about the couple's intimate life the highest Gracetian they admire and respect.
Tira is known to be soft, of course for Steven is not suitable if you have to engage with things that smell adventure such as observing cctv to look for terror trail.
"Princess Tira may know more about the people on the cctv record than we are new to this place. So it doesn't hurt if Tira's daughter wants to help us look for clues." Ernest immediately answered the astonishment of Steven who took a deep breath as soon as he heard the explanation that made sense to him.
"Then please sit Princess...." Steven said while pulling one of the chairs in front of the table where the computer was showing files containing cctv recordings.
As soon as Tira had sat in his place, Ernest would inevitably pull up the seat right next to Tira, and prepare to open the cctv tape, with Steven standing to Ernest's right, tira was sitting on Ernest's left.
Hopefully I can stay focused with the princess sitting next to me like this.
Ernest said in his heart while slightly holding his breath, because the position of Tira sitting right next to him again made his sharp nose can smell a fragrant smell coming out from the direction of Tira's body, moreover, the position of the ac that was lit was on the left side of Tira, so the wind that blew from the ac fan directly aimed at Ernest after hitting Tira's body, so that the wind that blew from the ac fan directly aimed at Ernest, making the fragrant smell of Tira's body increasingly dominate Ernest's sense of smell and cause a great upheaval in Ernest's chest.
Ah princess...why is it getting harder and harder to avoid princess charms? If this continues, I'm not sure I won't tolerate the heartbreak Erich once said. Should I really comply with Erich's request to step down from this task and return to Gracetian?
Ernest said inwardly while holding himself back from turning his head or glancing at Tira, which was currently a great temptation for him.
But if I go back to Gracetian before the intruder is found, what about Tira's daughter? I won't be able to sleep and get a heart attack because I think of the princess who continues to be in terror.
Ernest again said inwardly with eyes trying to focus on the computer screen.
I wish I could find the terror soon and return to Gracetian before I really can't control my heart and myself.
A determination in Ernest's heart he spoke with his hands began to spin the play button to watch the cctv tape in front of him, and as soon as the rekeaman walked, it began to play, Ernest immediately grabbed a pen and notebook to record anything that could be a clue for him when he saw the tape.
