MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
TIRA'S REQUEST
On one hand, Ernest felt so guilty that he had dared to touch Tira's face when the beautiful girl was unconscious. Although at the bottom of his heart the deepest, those memories made his love for Tira even greater, and uncontrollable.
“No... there is no way I dare to do such insolent things Princess.” In a nervous voice, Ernest immediately gave an explanation to Tira who smiled at Ernest's reply, because in fact he was also just joking and wanted to tempt Ernest to let his mind not focus on the incident that happened to him earlier, because in fact he was also just joking and wanted to tempt Ernest to let his mind not focus on what happened to him earlier, who frankly made Tira's heart unsettled and felt afraid of herself.
For Tira, the kind, kind and very polite Ernest, it was certainly impossible for Tira to suspect Ernest of doing something as presumptuous as he said earlier.
After all for Tira, even if Ernest dared to do that, it must be because there was someone with a position on it who had given such an order to Ernest, it would be impossible because of Ernest's personal idea, and to be sure, if that were to happen, Tira's positive thoughts towards Ernest kept thinking that Ernest was doing that for his own good, not because he had malicious or perverted intentions towards her.
“I know Ernest, a person as good as you, who might do such a disrespectful thing. I will always trust you.” Ernest was slightly stunned to hear Tira's words to him.
Thank you for the princess' trust, even though in truth, I am not as good as the princess thought. I've dared to be impudent by harboring feelings, falling in love with the princess. I am guilty of princess. I'm sorry for my indecency, touching you without your permission, and even daring to fall in love with you.
Ernest said inwardly without daring to stare at Tira, and hoped that he could immediately return to his own apartment, to continue the investigation.
“Thanks for Princess' trust in me.” Ernest said with doubtful eyes and still not daring to stare at Tira.
“But Ernest...” Tira said slowly.
“I'm really curious. My question was really serious. How can you quickly know what happened to me. What brings you up can be that big..” Tira's words inevitably made Ernest look at Tira, and inevitably made Ernest have to explain what he was going through earlier.
“Actually Princess, earlier I accidentally heard the sound of objects falling and breaking from the direction of the Princess' room. It seems before falling the body of the Princess accidentally nudged the ceramic decoration on the Princess' table so that it fell and broke, which eventually caused a loud noise and quite noisy, so I went straight into the Princess's apartment, to check what has happened to Princess.” Ernest explained what happened.
Tira's eyes immediately turned towards the table near her bed, which did have table accessories made of ceramic, and Tira could see that it was completely out of place, making Tira immediately guessed that Ernest must have cleaned and cleaned up the damage that must have broken.
“Ooo, so yes the story?” Tira again said in a soft voice, trying to imagine how Ernest could hear the voices from his apartment, which was separated by a wall.
“Oo, is that it?” Tira asked with a slightly reddened face, thinking about whether Ernest could hear his voice while delirious, having a phone conversation with Anna who often gossiped about Ernest and also Steven and Edi, who were also talking about him, or are doing activities such as bathing in the bathroom in his room.
“Ernest... does that mean you can hear any sound from my room?” Tira's question made Ernest immediately shake his head strongly and so quickly.
Of course it can't be like that. If that happens, it will be very dangerous for me. Dangerous to the mind, especially my heart.
Ernest said inwardly after struggling to swallow his saliva with difficulty, because Tira's question just now had made his mind drift everywhere.
“Just calm Princess, it can't be like that. If I can hear all the sounds from the Princess room, doesn't that mean the Princess will also be able to hear the sounds that arise from my room? But it's not like the Princess never heard any sounds from my room directly, right? The walls between our rooms are thick enough to be able to muffle those sounds. That was, I heard it because the sound that arises is much louder than usual.” Ernest tried to explain at length to Tira who only nodded his head how many times as long as Ernest gave his explanation in an agitated manner.
One attitude from Ernest that is usually always calm and confident, because even though Ernest is not an arrogant person, but because since childhood get a fairly hard training, because Ernest is not a proud man, so that he can always control the situation that occurs around him well, including controlling his attitude and heart.
But for Ernest, controlling himself in front of Tira, seemed to be a very difficult thing for him.
“Princess... is there anything you need now? If not, maybe the Princess can rest. I made sure everything was safe here. If there is something, I have prepared a bell that is directly connected to my room. Please press that bell if Princess needs something.” Ernest's soft words, indirectly make Tira know that Ernest will soon leave him alone again in the apartment, and it makes fear come back to haunt Tira's heart.
“Ernest... can you... for tonight only, you live in my apartment? To accompany me...” Thira's question made Ernest gasp in shock, with his chest pounding hard.
Tira's question was uttered with an attitude and voice that looked so nervous, so Ernest could see how the beautiful princess was pleading with him and Ernest knew that Tira was doing that because she was feeling uncomfortable and afraid to stay alone, he had just experienced something bad in that place.
It's just that for Ernest, living under one roof in Tira's apartment, and just the two of them, how could he go through the mini-mala quietly if until it happened.
