MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
REAWAKENED
Ernest faithfully remained standing beside the edge of Tira's bed, until the girl gradually moved her hands and other parts of her body more actively.
“Akh...” A slow whimper accompanied by Tira's eyes that lingered open made Ernest's eyes stare at Tira without blinking, with his back chest pounding for it.
Who'sis that?
With his consciousness yet to fully recover, Tira said inwardly as her still blurred eyes looked towards the figure of Ernest standing beside her.
Am I dreaming? Did I like Ernest so much that I expected Ernest to be standing next to me and accompanying me while I was fast asleep?
Tira again said inwardly while trying to make herself fully aware.
“Ernest?” With a voice that sounded so softly Tira said as she looked at her smile as soon as the one standing next to her was really Ernest, and it was not just his dreams and fantasies.
“Ya Princess... What is your condition better now?” Ernest's question he uttered slightly bent his body and looked at him with a worried face made Tira's brain spin quickly to think about what was happening to her.
“Ernest...” Tira again called out Ernest's name while moving his body from lying down to be able to sit leaning on the bed's back, with one of his hands holding his forehead, due to his head feeling a little dizzy at this moment.
And it makes Tira's body slightly dazed to the side because the balance of his body has not returned perfectly.
“Care Princess...” Ernest grimly immediately restrained Tira's body from falling by holding both shoulders.
After that, Ernest immediately helped Tira to sit upright by leaning on the bed.
As soon as Tira was in a sitting position, one of Ernest's hands was still trying to hold Tira's body, with his other hand grabbed the pillow and put it to the left right of Tira's body to hold it so that the body no longer wavers and falls.
“Thank Ernest. But…. What exactly happened? Why did my mind become like a dazed person?” Tira said as he looked towards Ernest with a slight dizzy in his head.
“You have just come to your senses from fainting, due to the dope effect that the Princess inhaled accidentally earlier.” Tira's eyes immediately looked boughtak as soon as he heard Ernest's words.
“Australian drug?” Tira muttered softly and tried to remember what had happened to her.
For a few seconds, Tira was still conscious and trying to see what was actually spraying on her face, but not until she managed to find out about it, her body suddenly felt limp, and the muscles in his body were difficult to respond and move, until it ended with a loss of consciousness.
After that, Tira did not know what happened next, and surely she did not know how she who was originally lying on the floor, suddenly woke up in a comfortable position on top of her bed.
Thinking of that made Tira's face feel a little hot and reddened, she inevitably imagined that Ernest was the only person who might move her body from floor to bed.
Unfortunately though Tira felt so curious about it, she chose to keep quiet and not ask Ernest, fearing that he would get more nervous and misbehaved.
“Eh...” Tira who was trying to shift her mind suddenly turned her head and looked at the paper bag, the package she received earlier and muttered softly back.
“Don't Princess..” Ernest's voice immediately sounded upon hearing Tira's hand outstretched and trying to reach for the paper bag, out of curiosity.
“In the bag there is a spray bottle containing dope. Better Princess not touch it anymore.” Ernest said as he kept the bag out of Tira's hand.
“What dope was deliberately given to me, or was it just a package that was wrong address Ernest?” Tira asked in a doubtful manner.
Since his consciousness had fully recovered, there was a fear that slipped into Tira's heart once he knew that someone had already delivered the dope to him, with a motive that he was of course not aware of.
“Sorry Princess, it seems like it was indeed deliberately given to Princess. In addition to the anesthetic, some time after the drug has reacted, the, Edi who was directly patrolling the area around the apartment saw a suspicious looking person at the bottom of the Princess window while carrying a rope and a hook that he seemed to be using to climb window.” Inevitably Tira was quite shudder in horror at the explanation from Ernest.
“What.... has Ernest arrested? Who is that guy? Do I know him?” Tira's question made Ernest hold his breath for a moment.
“Unfortunately, Edi failed to catch him Princess. Sorry... we will try even harder to catch the perpetrator.” Ernest's answer made Tira mendess.
“No problem Ernest, with your abilities, I'm sure it won't take long to find the perpetrator.” Tira said with a smile and looked at Ernest who actually felt guilty after hearing Tira's support for him.
“I am grateful that you have moved so quickly that the perpetrator did not get a chance to continue his crime. I should've followed my heart to call you before I received that dangerous package.” Tira said softly with a sigh that she kept doing several times.
“But Ernest... how did you know so quickly that something had happened to me? Did you unbeknownst to me put a cctv in my room?” Tira's question made Ernest gasp in shock, and the shadow of how he had been so presumptuous and dared to stroke Tira's face with his knuckles earlier made Ernest feel guilty, and so… it still left an impression so deep, that it made his chest still pound so fiercely when he remembered that.
