As soon as Ernest's hands were on Tira's back and the back of his knees, Ernest immediately got up and walked closer to the edge of the bed, so that he could put Tira's body there.
"Huh...who exactly is the person who has dared to intend to hurt you to act impudent to you like this? Whoever he is, I'm not just gonna take it off. I'll find him soon and make sure he gets his sentence." Ernest whispered softly as he looked towards Tira who still looked unconscious.
After making sure that Tira's body was comfortably lying down, Ernest looked at the floor, where the ceramic pieces are still scattered there and also staring intently at the paper bag where in it he had seen contained a bottle with a clear liquid that Ernest can be sure is an anesthetic-shaped spray, which is Chlorophyll Spray.
With half of his face still tightly covered with his handkerchief, Ernest bent his body, and grabbed the bag and observed the bottle inside without taking it out.
With a slow motion, Ernest tried to open the paper bag wider until Ernest heard a faint sound, and something was seen spraying out of the bag, making a quick reflex move, Ernest immediately turned his face away, and tried to keep the paper bag away from his face.
As soon as the liquid stopped spraying, Ernest brought the paper bag closer and tried to observe the bag, why all of a sudden the medicinal liquid could spray itself without him touching the bottle inside, when he tried to open the paper bag.
Ernest's observant eyes immediately saw how an object was affixed to the top of the paper bag, which was connected to the part of the bottle that if pressed, would make the liquid inside the bottle spray out, and as soon as the paper bag was opened, the small pipe-shaped object immediately moved and pressed the bottle section to spray the liquid inside the bottle.
So this is how the guy trapped Tira's daughter so he accidentally inhaled this dope. That person was really sneaky, but he also could not be underestimated because it turned out that he was a person who looked so professional in committing his crimes.
Ernest said inwardly as he put back the paper bag and its contents after he had managed to find the cause and estimated how Tira had fainted all of a sudden.
"Well...." Ernest let out a long sigh while moving his face back, staring at Tira who was in a state like a person who was in deep sleep.
Princess really is a very beautiful and attractive girl, no wonder that people can be so crazy about her that it darkens the eyes. But the actions of the one who drugged the princess, could not be justified at all.
The beautiful face of the girl, made Ernest immediately think that the person who had deliberately drugged Tira must have had a bad plan against Tira, he said, especially if the culprit is the same person who did terror on Tira all this time, the person who is obsessed with Tira and seems to be a psychopath, too, if you look at the words and gifts that are often sent to Tira.
Imagining how the person who drugged Tira could have planned to kidnap, harass even intend to kill Tira, making Ernest's hair goosebumps and his heart tremble violently.
"How can... I let you face a bad thing like this princess? Even though I didn't come too late, but I'm really sorry, you have to experience something like this. In the future, I will always make sure that everything is okay. Everything is safe for you, princess." Ernest said softly with a heart and mind that felt chaotic as soon as he remembered the evil thoughts that others might be planning against Tira.
There was a sense of unwillingness that immediately struck Ernest's heart as soon as he thought of the bad things that could have happened to Tira if that person managed to find Tira in a fainting state before him.
Just this time, Ernest felt how he felt so afraid of someone doing something bad to someone else, and that was a girl.
Although for several years this could be said to be Alvero's personal bodyguard, Ernest often faced precarious conditions that could at any time make him want to pick him up, but he was never afraid in the slightest.
But now, the existence of Tira who had consciously become the girl he loved so much, made just thinking about what bad things could have happened to Tira, made Ernest feel so worried and scared.
If only it had been Erich, the only brother so close to her, or Alvero, as the one she had been following for decades, or even Deanda, the Gracetian empress who was so considerate of her, he said, Ernest had never been so worried about them, because Ernest knew their ability to defend themselves.
However, the figure of Tira that he was observing right now, Ernest knew the beautiful princess did not have the slightest ability in terms of martial arts, because since childhood, Tira's condition was not as good as other princesses, so he spent more time in the palace, learning to play music, flower arranging, or painting, which obviously did not require a physical as strong as Deanda or Alea.
"I know the more I love you, the more I fear you're hurt and afraid to lose you, but I'm sorry princess." Ernest said softly, between regret, love, and fear, mixed together in his chest.
