The Queen Of Time
Khronos, Kairos, Hora (Two)

A girl with a beautiful long brown mane seemed to be running into a large room. When he entered the room, the prince seemed to still be sound asleep on his comfortable quarrel while folding both his hands over his head. Relieved, Calistha started walking up to the man to prepare to wake the handsome prince up. Today he actually woke up bad luck. Though she is the main lady in this palace, the lady who must always be ready to meet the needs of Prince Max. And as usual in the morning, Calistha had to wake Prince Max up early in the morning, before Prince Max did his morning routine. However, unfortunately today Calistha woke up a little late because last night she had to help the kitchen cook to peel potatoes. Actually as the main lady, Calistha is not required to do the work of the kitchen or other work. He only had to focus on the prince and all the needs of the prince. But, Calistha was a very friendly and kind girl. He will not bear to see others in trouble. Moreover, last night his work was finished early, so he decided to help the kitchener peel hundreds of potatoes that would be cooked this morning for the royal family breakfast menu.

        "Prince, it's time for you to wake up" Calistha said softly as she shook Max's shoulder. However, the man still seemed reluctant to open his eyes, he only moved slightly to the right to find a comfortable position to go back to sleep.

        "Prince, the king will be angry if you are still sleeping." The scales of Calista again near Max. Max is always easy to wake up. Even with just a single gentle touch on his shoulders, the man would instantly rise from the top of his bed and rush over to clean himself up. Calisthapun tried to wake the prince once again by opening the golden curtain wide, until the scorching sunlight immediately shot out Max's face fiercely. However, the man still did not want to open his eyes and instead went back to sleep comfortably on his soft and comfortable bed.

        "Max, why is it so hard for you to wake up today! You're hampering my work

another." shouted Calistha annoyedly next to Max as he unfolded the golden-red blanket violently. He also ran out of patience. Usually Calistha will show an informal attitude to Max if he starts to run out of patience with all the annoying behavior of Max, or when they are alone in the reading room. The rest, Calistha always used formal language on Max. However, Max did not like if Calistha had to use formal language when in front of him, because the two of them had been friends for a long time. Calistha was escorted to the kingdom of Hora by a court coachman with a letter from queen Kairos. Then when Calistha was seventeen, the king asked Calistha to be a lady-in-waiting

the main who served as the lady-in-waiting of Prince Max so that the existence of Calistha was not immediately sniffed by king Aiden. In accordance with the letter given by the queen Kairos, the king of Hora must always protect Calistha from the king of Aiden's targets. However, actually the decision to put Calistha by her son's side was the wrong decision. Because without them knowing, the closeness of two different types of people actually turns into an emotional feeling that attracts each other to get closer. Sometimes Calistha felt her heart would jump out when she saw Max's face at close range. Especially when Max was sleeping, Calistha always took the time to admire Max's face for a few minutes before he finally decided to wake the handsome prince. And because today he had a little misfortune, then he did not

could do his morning rutunitas before building prince Max. However, it's not a big deal. After all, he could still observe Max's face as the man opened his eyes. After all, when opening the eyes Max still looks handsome in the eyes of Calistha.

        "Cal, you're interrupting my sleep." rrang Max slacked off as he rolled slowly to the left. The man looks to be looking for a comfortable position so as not to be exposed to the sunlight that is so blinding to his eyes. Seeing Max's infuriating demeanor, Calista immediately turned to the other side of the bed to pull Max's hand to get the man up. Ten more minutes the man had to do sword exercises with the war minister, minister Dannis. He did not want to be blamed by the old minister because he was considered incompetent in taking care of the prince.

        "Max, let's get up. Minister Dannis will scold me again if you're late for his sword training. You don't want to make me sad, do you? So get up quickly!" calistha shouted loudly next to Max's ear. The man reflexes instantly silenced Calistha's lips and instantly pulled the woman's hand

until it falls right on it.

        "Daughter, you're so noisy." whispered Max gently in front of Calistha, making her cheeks instantly red. From the beginning Max did know the true status of Calistha. And the man sometimes likes to call him princess if he wants to tease the beautiful woman.

        "Max, let me go. You should get ready to practice the sword immediately. Ah, you won't have time for breakfast downstairs." sighed Calistha frustrated. If Max does not have time to have breakfast with the king and queen at the dinner table, then he must wrap all the food so that Max can eat it in the sword practice room. But, if the man still insisted on holding him like this, then his job would be

it gets more distracted and will not be finished.

        "I know Cal, you're the one who woke me up late. But, I've had a shower and it's been tidy with my oversized clothes, haven't you noticed?"

        For a moment Calistha looked stunned within Max's confinement while observing the man's body intensely. It turns out that since then he was too rushed so he did not realize Max's appearance was neat.

        "Sorry, I didn't see it. Now can you put me down?" pinta Calistha was gentle with her beautiful sweet smile. For a moment Max was blown away by that beautiful smile. But, he quickly turned his attention away from Calistha's face and immediately lowered the woman from her bed. From the beginning Max had realized that Calistha also had the same feelings as him. However, he cannot show his love for Calistha, as he is engaged to Victoria's daughter. For some reason from the beginning his father was not interested in setting him up with Calistha, and instead betrothed him to the daughter of

another kingdom, even though in his own kingdom there was a beautiful princess who was as valuable as Victoria. But, if one day he has the chance, he is eager to become Calistha as his wife, the real wife, not his concubine.

        "Please wait for me at the dinner table, I'll be right down." Max orders flat on Calistha without

look at the woman a little. After hearing Max's pretty clear command line Calistha immediately bowed respectfully to Max, and left the handsome prince himself inside her large room.

        At the dining table, the atmosphere looked so crowded. Today, Prince Max's fiancee, Victoria's daughter, and her parents come to visit to discuss the wedding date of their daughter's son. Calistha who saw that became uninspired and increasingly lethargic. For a long time he harbored feelings for Max, but the man never returned his feelings and instead would marry another woman. Though she herself was a princess, King Hora never asked her to be her son's companion. The king told him to become a servant in order to protect him from the demon king, Aiden Altair. Suddenly Calistha's entire hair bristled with goosebumps as she imagined the figure of the cruel king. As a princess, she certainly knew who the king of Aiden Altair was. When he was ten years old, his teacher told him about the cruelty of the king of the kingdom of Chronos. According to his teacher, king Aiden became like that because he got a curse from one of his late father's enemies. Calistha then recalled how sad the story of king Aiden was told by his teacher. So, actually

king Aiden became such a violent and cruel figure, as both his parents were killed by one of the kings who was an ally of the kingdom of Chronos himself. It could be said that King Chronos had once been betrayed by one of his allied kingdoms. In addition to treason, the king apparently also had given a curse on the descendants of king Chronos so that the descendants would later destroy his own kingdom. However, it turns out that the curse did not cause the kingdom of Chronos to be destroyed, precisely the curse it caused

king Aiden became a figure of a man who had a murderous appetite that was so thick in him. And if the king does not channel his desire to kill him, then his whole body will feel crumpled and sick. Imagining the cruel figure of King Aiden made Calistha angry. He knew that many years ago king Aiden also came to his kingdom and ravaged the entire kingdom of his father and mother. Then after successfully destroying his kingdom, the demon king also killed his parents very cruelly. Unfortunately at that time he was too small to understand everything, so he could do nothing but leave the palace with his royal coachman to the kingdom of Hora.

        "Calistha, where is Prince Max?"

        Calistha immediately shook her head in shock as she lowered her head in fear. He was very ashamed now, because he had just been found to be daydreaming by the king of Hora. Princess Victoria also looked at Calistha inside, waiting for the woman to answer questions from her future in-laws. Victoria didn't like Calistha very much. The reason was of course because Calistha was the personal lady-in-waiting of her fiance and also the only woman so close to her fiance other than Her Majesty the queen, so Victoria would sometimes be so cynical about Calistha as to intimidate her. However, Calistha would usually pretend to ignore her by acting ordinary in front of Victoria.

        "Sorry Your Majesty, prince Max is preparing in his room" Calistha replied as she was

keep bowing his head. King Hora observed Calistha for a moment, then he turned back to Victoria who looked very eager to meet her son.

        "Victoria, if you want to meet my son, you can meet him in his room."

        "No need for dad. I'm here."

        Suddenly Max came in his emerald green robe. The robe was so fitting to wrap Max's sturdy body, that the two young women who were at the dining table looked so fascinated by Max's very handsome appearance. However, Calistha quickly turned her face the other way and prepared to prepare a chair for Max.

        "Let me. You eat in the back." said Max gently to Calistha as he was about to dance a chair for Max. Seeing that, Victoria became very jealous and hated Calistha so much. From the beginning he was engaged to Max, he could feel the seeds of love that appeared between them. However, Max is so clever in hiding his affection for Calistha, that Victoria never has any evidence to banish Calistha from Max's side. At least if the king knew if Calistha liked her son, king Hora would immediately lower Calistha to a lowly class lady-in-waiting or become an ordinary servant.

        "Max, do you want to eat something?" asked Victoria gently in the graceful style of a princess. Max smiled briefly at Victoria and shook his head slowly while raising his plate high towards Victoria.

        "No need, Calistha has prepared my favorite meal."

        "Then, do you want to taste this wine? This is the best wine of our kingdom. You'll love it when you drink it." said Victoria again would not give up. She must be able to take her future husband's heart before Max falls into Calistha's hands.

        "Wine? Seems not. I prefer to drink a glass of honey milk made by Calista at breakfast in the morning. After all, wine in the morning was not good for health." Max responded politely, but managed to make Victoria's mood deteriorate. The woman then resumes her delayed eating show while swearing inwardly, that she will not lose to Calistha, no matter what. In fact, if necessary, he would remove Calistha forever from the kingdom of Horah if she had done beyond the limits.

        "Calistha, your life in this kingdom won't be long." Victoria's heart is upset.

        "Spencer! Come here." Come here."

        Aiden called Spencer loudly from inside his room while sipping a glass of red wine deliciously. Before him lay a map showing the geographical position of the kingdom of Hora which was so strategic to carry out the attack. Apparently the cruel king was really going to make an attack on the kingdom of Hora in the near future. In fact, a few hours ago he had discussed this plan of attack with the minister of war. And according to the minister of war, all the soldiers of Chronos will be ready for war in three days.

        "His Majesty called me?" spencer asked respectfully as he gathered in front of Aiden. The cruel man then gave Spencer a code to have him sit himself on a chair next to him.

        "Sit down, I want to talk about the kingdom of Hora and Calistha" said Aiden coldly. Dutifully Spencer immediately sat down next to Aiden while observing every corner of Hora's kingdom through the map laid out by his king on the table.

        "What's up, Your Majesty? Do you want to speed up the attack?"

        "No. I can still wait for the next three days. Besides, I just want to give that woman some time before she becomes my companion in the kingdom of Chronos."

        "waiting? Is Your Majesty sure? According to one of our spies, Calistha's daughter is currently posing as a ladyboy. And it seems like princess Calistha also has a special relationship with prince Max. Is Your Majesty not worried about that? I mean, Calistha's daughter has loved another man. It will be more difficult for you to persuade princess Calistha to be willing to be your partner Your Majesty."

        "I don't care! I don't need to persuade her to be my partner, because I'm going to force her. And if he dares to reject me, then I will use that woman from the Diamond kingdom as a threat. Aren't they brothers? I'm sure if Calistha will definitely not be able to refuse my orders." furious Aiden. Spencer then lowered his head in front of Aiden muttering an apology many times. He was indeed presumptuous because he dared to meddle in Aiden's affairs that should not be his business. But, actually he said it because he felt so worried about his king. For years he lived and served Aiden, making Spencer know and know Aiden's personality thoroughly. In fact, maybe Aiden can't recognize himself as well as Spencer. Therefore he only wanted to warn Aiden about the possibility of upheaval after the man managed to get Calistha later. Because according to her spies, Calistha was the type of brave woman who would be very difficult to defeat. Although she always showed a gentle and friendly attitude while in the palace, she was actually a very brave woman. According to his spies, Calistha often went secretly out of the palace at night to meet a group of rebels who were on the border of the kingdom of Hora to practice martial arts, because in the kingdom of Hora, the, Calistha was not given the chance to do so.

        "Spencer, tell the minister of war, if the timing of the attack is advanced. Tomorrow when the sun sets we'll set off for the kingdom of Hora."

        Suddenly Aiden changes his plan of attack after he thinks more about what Spencer told him. He shouldn't have been stalling too long to wait for Calistha. The princess did not deserve any privileges from him at all. Therefore he must immediately seek Calistha and make her his wife so that she can be the antidote to his terrible curse.

        "Your Majesty. I'll do it."

        Spencer then withdrew from the presence of his king while bowing deeply before walking out of the contest of his great king. He hopes, hopefully their attack this time will produce real results, in accordance with what he always wanted so far. Because he was really tired of his life. Tired of all these sickening wars. He just wants to live peacefully in his homeland and have a happy little family. Although he knew, if his last wish would never happen. However, at least he wanted his first wish to be truly realized so that this world could return to peace as it once was.

        In the kingdom of Hora, Calistha was daydreaming alone in the palace garden while observing the rows of roses that are so beautiful and beautiful, arranged so nicely in the greenhouse. After Max told her to leave, Calistha immediately walked to the garden to enjoy the beautiful roses that were blooming in the palace garden. However, since then his mind just continues to drift on Max.

Many times he tried to divert his mind from Max, by helping a gardener to pick roses, or helping another gardener to pick berries in the palace garden, but still Calistha could not take her mind off Max. Especially now that they were all talking about the wedding plan of his dream man with the daughter of Victoria, his mind became increasingly unfocused and disturbed. He then rested his back in frustration on the back of the wooden chair he was sitting on. If only King Aiden had not ravaged his kingdom, he would have lived happily with his other family. Sometimes at midnight she misses her mother and her other sisters. For a long time he had not met them and had only ever sent a letter to Tiffany, his older sister who was so considerate of him. But, for more than a week Tiffany did not send him any more letters. Though he missed the figure of Tiffany and wanted to share complaints with the woman. Calistha then rubbed her nape gamang while sighing slowly.

Plucci

Suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder from behind, making Calistha instantly turn her head in alarm.

        "Prince." said Calistha in shock. He reflexively stood up from his seat while bowing slowly at Max.

        "Does the prince need anything?"

         "No. I've been looking for you since. Looks like you're having a problem, what's the matter?" ask Max attentively. Calistha seemed to turn her gaze in another direction awkwardly. She really feels so nervous now. Although Max always noticed, but still he was always made nervous with Max's attitude is very considerate. But, even so he did not know, whether Max really paid attention to her as a woman or only paid attention to her because she was the servant of the man.

        "I'm fine." replied Calistha as she is, but sounded doubtful. Max raised his brow in confusion while stroking Calistha's head slowly, making Calistha feel an enormous electric shock draining from the top of her head, then down to gather at her feet, makes him feel weak and wants to fall down in front of Max.

        "I mean I'm okay. Did you not practice swords today?" calistha asked, distracting. This time he decided not to use formal language, because he only wanted to remember his childhood with Max who was full of laughter without being limited by his current status.

        "I'll practice the sword in ten minutes. Do you want to try practicing sword training with me?"

        Calistha shook her head softly while smiling gently at Max. All this time, unbeknownst to Max and the rest of the kingdom, Calistha secretly sneaked out from inside the palace to practice sword and martial arts in the forbidden forest that was at the outer border of the Hora kingdom. Usually he will come out at twelve o'clock on foot to the grandfather's house of the horse owner who is at the end of the village. Then he will continue his journey with the dark horse of Errol's grandfather. Although what he has done so far is quite risky, he has managed to do so for the past three years. At first he never thought to do the forbidden act without the knowledge of Max or all the other royal residents. It was then that he accidentally met Erika at the entrance of the forbidden forest when the woman had just been attacked by the forest cat. As Erika is injured, she insists on helping Erika back home. And after he entered into the forbidden forest, Calistha found a lot of villagers living in

in the little tent there. Apparently they were all residents from various kingdoms that were attacked by the kingdom of Chronos. It could be said that all the inhabitants who lived there were people who had a great hatred for king Aiden. Seeing how pleasant life was, Calistha asked Erika for permission to visit the woman in the afternoon, when she had no job escorting the prince. Then, when he saw Erika and her other female friends were playing with swords, Calistha became more and more interested and wanted to join the women to practice swords. And finally Calistha set her own schedule of practicing sword and martial arts at midnight, because if the afternoon she only had an hour, empty time, so he could not possibly practice martial arts and sword arts in the afternoon.

        "Calistha." Calistha seemed to blink her eyes many times while looking at Max with a puzzled look. It seems he was too cool to daydream until he forgot that he was talking with Max in the palace garden.

        "You seem to be daydreaming." Max looked disappointed.

        "Sorry." said Calistha softly and regretfully. Max then rubbed Calistha's head once more while whispering softly in the woman's ear if she was okay.

        "Have it, there's still plenty of time to say it. Now enter. I want a glass of cold lemon after I finish training."

        "Well, I'll make it for you. Happy prince training." said Calistha lightly as she waved her hand at Max. The man seemed to smile at Calistha at a glance, before he dashed away towards the sword practice area near the empress' palace.

         From the distance, Victoria seemed to hold back angrily as she clenched both her hands tightly into the air. He really does not like the relationship between Calistha and Max. According to him, Calistha has exceeded the limit and must be removed immediately. With cunning Victoria begins to think of various evil plans that she can use to get rid of Calistha from her fiance side forever.

        "I'll get rid of you soon, Calistha!"

-00-

        At midnight, Calistha began to prepare to set off for the forbidden forest. Yesterday he had

promise Erika and her other friends to practice swords together and also enjoy a glass of hot chocolate made by Erika's mother is very good. After he put all his equipment into a leather bag, Calistha immediately walked sagging through the back door of the palace which was usually never guarded by soldiers, who were not, because the door is a special door for kitchens who are usually used by kitchens to go to the market, because the location of the market is behind the main palace.

        While walking down a dark and cold path, Calistha began to recall the incident this afternoon when she was delivering a cold drink to Max after the man had been training horses. He almost dies at the foot of Shine, Max's favorite horse because Victoria suddenly surprises him from behind until the cold drink he brought spills over the body of Max's brown horse, which is, and made the horse neigh in surprise and instantly a brutal move was about to step on it. But, fortunately, Max immediately sped up and pointed his horse in another direction, so that the powerful legs of Shine did not have time to step on Calistha's body

the small and fragile. But, when she was about to walk away to pick up a new drink, Victoria looked at her cynically as she walked with a bark past her.

        As a woman, Calistha knew that Victoria was jealous of her. But, he could not do much because he himself also had more feelings for Max. After all, the relationship between her and Max does require her to always be near Max, so Calistha really can't stay away from Max to keep the woman feeling.

        Didn't feel his steps were getting closer to Errol's grandfather's house. The old man looked like he had

waiting for him outside his horse stable while waving his wrinkled hands towards Calistha. He also welcomed with a spirit of hand wave from grandfather errol, then he immediately ran small to percepa his steps to immediately arrive in front of the stable of Errol's clean and well-maintained grandfather's horse.

        "Good night, is my horse ready?"

         "Of course, princess,

your horse is waiting inside." replied Errol's grandfather with laughter. Calistha patted Errol's grandfather's shoulder

slowly and immediately darted just entering the stables of Errol's grandfather's clean and well-maintained. There are four horses that are usually used to bring the garden results belonging to Errol's grandfather to the market, including the horse that he will currently use to visit Erika.

        "Grandfather, I'll go first. Thank you for everything." said Calistha politely to Errol's grandfather as he led his horse out. After that he immediately rode his horse and immediately spurred his horse fiercely, penetrating the forbidden forest path that Calistha had memorized out of his head. Along the way Calistha continues to imagine how the taste of hot chocolate made by Erika's mother is so sweet and savory. He could not wait to meet his friends and the villagers. During this time they tend to be friendly to Calistha and immediately accept the existence of Calistha with open arms.

        Calistha's horse kept speeding, until finally Calistha had reached the tent of Mr. Nick who was a hundred meters from the tent of the other residents, because here Mr. Nick is serving as a guard, so that he is placed in a place farther than others so that Mr. Nick can give a warning to other residents if there is a danger that threatens the residents of his village.

        Arriving in front of Nick's tent, Calistha immediately stopped her horse suspiciously

while looking out at the surrounding. At the moment, Mr. Nick's tent looks broken with a little drop of blood splattered around the tent. Calisthapun immediately looked at the situation around him with more alert while holding on to the saddle rope that he used to regulate the pace of his horse.

        While remaining cautious, Calistha began to walk slowly, entering into the deeper forbidden forest in search of her other companions. Although her mind had been thinking bad things since then, Calistha immediately removed those bad thoughts from her head as much as possible. Vaguely Calistha saw a bright light behind the thick shrubbery in front of him. The woman recklessly, began to walk closer while brushing the thicket little by little. However, what he saw at this moment managed to make Calistha panic, so he was only able to stay in place without the slightest intention to immediately leave from there, saving himself.

        "Yes God. That's... Kingdom of Khronos." whispered Calistha raucously to himself.
