The Queen Of Time

The Queen Of Time
Stay Beside Me (Thirty Four)


            Tonight Tiffany again walks to the dungeon to visit


Gazelles. Today he will tell Gazelle if his plan to harm Calistha succeeds. But there was one problem that arose after that, and he felt he had to talk about this to Gazelle because it was possible


the woman has a solution related to Aiden, considering they have had a close relationship in the past.


            One by one Tiffany began to descend the mossy and slippery stone steps. At the end of the staircase, Tiffany could see the guards were fast asleep while snoring loudly enough. Slowly, Tiffany began to pass through the guards without a sound. He did not want the guards to wake up because he was lazy to give them an excuse. In addition they will feel suspicious of him because he several times came to the prison for the same reason.


            "You're coming too."


            "I managed to hurt Calistha today. He was actually injured and passed out in the middle of his dancing pickle with Aiden. If only you could see it, you would be cheering like me" said Tiffany satisfied. Gazelle seemed so interested in Tiffany's story and immediately told her to tell him all the chronology of tonight's events.


            "Tell me everything. I really want to hear it."


            "Basar is impatient." - Tiffany's lips were amused, but she kept telling Gazelle everything. All the things he has done today up to Calistha is injured and passed out in the middle of his dance with Aiden.


Flashbacks


            In the afternoon Tiffany seemed to be sneaking around to get into Calistha's spacious and luxurious room. Tiffany tilted her head slightly inward as she scanned every corner of Caslistha's quiet room. This afternoon two loyal servants of Calistha were helping Calistha to perform the ritual before the party, so that the room now looked completely deserted and uninhabited. Confidently, Tiffany began to step inside the room while grasping the few nails she had prepared this morning. All the nails he got from the storage warehouse of plantation tools in the back garden. Gazelle had told him before that the palace gardeners must have had a large stock of nails in the barn because they always needed nails to make flower shelves. And thanks to the information he got from Gazelle, he was able to get the nail easily to injure Calistha.


            Smiling cunningly, Tiffany started picking up the white shoes Calistha had prepared by Yuri in


corner room. The shoes looked so beautiful with a sprinkling of gemstones that would instantly sparkle when struck by light. But who would have thought if behind the beautiful shoes was hidden some sharp nails that were ready to hurt Calistha. Tiffany then stuck the nails inside a shoe that had a sole thick enough for the nails to camouflage and would actually injure Calistha's foot when the woman had stepped on the sole the shoes and stepped towards the hall. After everything was done, Tiffany put the shoe to its original place and she immediately left the room. In addition to putting the nails in the shoes Calistha will be wearing tonight, she still has other plans that will make tonight's events even more gripping. He would tell the servants to spread the red carpet along the entrance of the palace hall so that they would not notice Calistha's leg was injured. He was sure that the red carpet would disguise the bloodstains dripping from Calistha's feet. And when they realized it, it was too late. Calistha's legs were already completely injured and he would lose a lot of blood due to those spikes.


            "Servant, please stretch the red carpet along this road to welcome the arrival of the queen and the king, this is an order from Mr. Spencer." tiffany said half-threatening to a servant who was decorating the palace hall. Knowing that the order was from Spencer, the servant immediately nodded obediently and immediately spread out a carpet that was so long and transverse in the middle of the room. Seeing that, Tiffany immediately exclaimed in excitement while smiling sinisterly at the red carpet that lay before her.


            "Hmm, perfect. Prepare to face your suffering Calistha."


End Flashback


            "Smart, you are indeed very intelligent Tiffany, and also cunning." praised Gazelle in awe as she clapped in front of Tiffany. Tiffany smiled arrogantly in front of Gazelle while flicking her hair in a haughty style that was very annoying.


            "But we still have other problems. Aiden is now further tightening Calistha's guard. He did not allow Calistha to occupy his room, and tonight Calistha was immediately placed in his private room."


            "What's? It's insane! Aiden dares to put Calistha in his room, while they are not officially married? Damnit damnit! He would definitely tease Aiden with his body after this. You have to think of something!" gazelle shouted in front of him. Tiffany rolled her two lazy eyeballs while staring pushyly at Gazelle. How many more times did he tell Gazelle to stop loving Aiden and hoping for him. Aiden obviously didn't love her at all. She really is a stubborn stupid woman!


            "If you tell me to think only to relieve your heart, then I don't want to! Already


how many times have I told you that Aiden doesn't love you at all. Stop wishing on Aiden and try to see other men who pay more attention to you, like Spencer might. You can't keep hoping for Aiden, and that guy has his own toy. Besides, I'm not sure if Aiden hasn't touched Calistha yet. The two of them looked close every day, but never far from the squabble. So forget about Aiden!"


            Gazelle looked in annoyance at Tiffany while crossing her hands in front of her chest. Easy indeed


for the woman to tell him to forget Aiden, but he can't! It's not all that easy as it says. Every day his heart yearns for Aiden and hopes that one day he will turn to her and leave Calistha.


            "Ck, forget it. You have no right to force my heart to accept Spencer if in fact I still expect Aiden. So how's your next plan?" tanya Gazelle switched the conversation. Tiffany snorted softly and went back to discussing the topic of Calistha to the woman.


            "I honestly don't have a plan at all. That's why I came here to ask for your help. Weren't you very familiar with all the corners of this palace, it's possible that I could sneak into Aiden's room to harm Calistha" Tiffany said lightly. Gazelle shook her head quickly as she looked at Tiffany's two irises seriously. The entire corner of this palace does have a crack that Gazelle has known about, but Aiden's private room? The room had no secret passage. There was only one door connecting the room with the other rooms in the palace, so Tiffany would not be able to sneak in other than through the main door. It was certain that Tiffany would not be able to enter so easily, as Aiden would definitely guard her tightly.


            "really? Ah, what a pity." lamented Tiffany disappointed. But Gazelle was still trying to think of something else. He was sure, there were many ways they could do to harm Calistha. And he will definitely find that way.


            "There must be another way to harm Calistha without Aiden knowing. Doesn't Calistha not know your cunning yet? You can get close to her when Aiden's not with her. Aiden would not be able to continue to accompany Calistha because he had much work to govern the kingdom of Chronos and his other colonies. Use that opportunity to get close to Calistha and hurt her, you can."


            "Huh, it's easy to say it, but it's really hard to do." Cibir Tiffany with an annoyed face. Gazelle looked at Tiffany irritatedly and left the woman just like that to think.


            "Hey, what are you doing? Quickly think of something."


            "Good night, Mr. Spencer."


            "You all fell asleep? What if a prisoner escapes while you sleep! Do you want King Aiden to punish you with the death penalty?" snapped Spencer hard. Tiffany and Gazelle immediately looked at each other while widening shocked eyes. They didn't think Spencer would come


tonight go to jail to visit Gazelle. Tiffany quickly hid behind a pillar not far from Gazelle's cell. Gazelle acted as if he were asleep facing the dirty prison walls.


                Spencer's heavy footsteps grew louder as he got closer to Gazelle's holding cell. From behind the pillar, Tiffany seemed to be holding a nervous breath. Even though he was cunning and evil, still he could feel a sense of nervousness while he was being cornered. In addition, he still has a lot of ambition to harm Calistha and injure Calistha, so he does not want Spencer to suspect him and arrest him now because he has not fully realized all his ambitions.


            "Gazelle's."


            That loud yet soft voice echoed loudly inside the silent and silent dungeon


that's. Gazelle seemed to squirm a little and just glanced at Spencer who had been standing perfectly in front of his holding cell. The man looked so sad when he saw how he was at the moment while grasping the iron bars firmly. He feels useless and stupid for not being able to save the woman he loves and instead let Gazelle live in suffering in this stuffy and dirty prison. If only he could plead a little leniency for Gazelle to Aiden, then he would do so with great joy. Unfortunately, the atmosphere in the palace is not supportive. Her Majesty the queen is injured today, it is certain that the king will be more busy taking care of the queen than listening to her plea to ease Gazelle's punishment.


            "Gazelle, how are you?"


            "What did you come here for? Go, Aiden needs you now." Gazelle exiled. Spencer sighed softly while crouched down in front of Gazelle's holding cell.


            "The king was with Her Majesty the queen, today the queen suffered a disaster so that the king immediately canceled the queen's welcoming party in the kingdom of Chronos. Are you all right?" repeat Spencer again tenaciously. Gazelle seemed very careless with Spencer's unyielding attitude. Though he had driven away the man in various ways and his harsh words, but still the man continued to approach him tenaciously.


            "Oh, I'm not interested in discussing them right now. You better go."


            Tiffany snorted in annoyance behind the pillar while squeezing her hands together. It should be at a time like this that Gazelle can take advantage of the opportunity to get close to Spencer so that the man is willing to help him get out of this prison. But Gazelle responded to the man with a rude and cynical attitude. Then when will the woman get out of this prison if it's like that?


            "Should I step in to help that stupid woman"


            "I'm working out a plan to release you.”


            "liberated me? Are you sure you're gonna do it?" ask Gazelle to make sure. Spencer looked for a moment in front of him and then he immediately nodded his head confidently. He had been thinking about this since yesterday, and his decision was unanimous, he would release Gazelle from this prison, even without Aiden's consent.


            "What about Aiden? Are you gonna betray him?"


            "Once in a while it seems okay. For many years I have served him, being his most loyal right-hand man, but as a human being I still have my own will. Not forever should I obey under his orders. And this time I want to betray you a little bit. But remember, after I get you out of this prison, you must go as far away from Khronos as possible and never show up again around Khronos. I want you to build your own life outside of Khronos. I don't have the heart to let you here, to suffer, under these terrible circumstances, while you're still young to face all kinds of amazing adventures out there. So I decided to help you get out of this prison."


            Tiffany and Gazelle were both pensive in different places. The two of them were both inexhaustible with Spencer's overly kind attitude towards a woman like Gazelle, whereas clearly during this time Gazelle had always been cynical and rude to her, and she was always, but still the man was always nice to her.


            Tiffany smiled wryly laughing at her fate which turned out to be much more miserable than Gazelle. Even though the woman was evil and cunning, but she still had someone very sincerely affectionate without having to pretend to be as kind as she was. While he must always wear an angel-faced mask to get sympathy from the people around him. How sad his life is right now. He longs for his once peaceful life. He hated his life at this time. She hated having to be one of the princesses of the kingdom of Kairos. And he hated Calistha, the source of every misfortune in his life.
