The Queen Of Time
The Red Heart (Fourty)

            The atmosphere of the market this afternoon seemed crowded and boisterous. Many merchants sold each other stuff

trade them loudly, to create a distinctive noise. Tiffany, a woman in a red silk dress and matching flower hairpins, walked down the crowded market street with a loyal servant. A few men blatantly looked at Tiffany with interest while clucking in awe at Tiffany's beauty that looked so striking in the middle

the bustling atmosphere of the bustling market. From a distance, Tiffany can see a house with a very striking ancient style, standing among other modern buildings. The house at first glance looks like a creepy empty house, but inside the house is a very powerful old witch. According to reports of birds scattered among the inhabitants of Chronos, the woman was once a black witch who was expelled from her group. Frustrated and holding a grudge, the witch decides to become a fortune teller in the kingdom of Chronos. However, secretly the witch can help anyone who has a very strong grudge against others. And the witch will gladly help anyone who will avenge them on someone they hate.

            "You wait here, I'll take my order inside" Tiffany told her maid. The servant nodded obediently and chose to wait in front of the old witch's house. Tiffany entered the witch's house with confidence. Two days ago he came and ordered a curse bag to harm Calistha. And today he will give up the last key of his cursed pouch, a hair belonging to Calistha. Fortunately today Aiden relaxed his watch on Calistha, so that he could approach his youngest brother and take a strand of his hair secretly.

              "Finally you came too, you brought the things I needed?" the witch asked as she hobbled over to Tiffany. The sound of his noisy wooden stick knocking instantly echoed inside his dark house and was filled with curse items.

            "Here I have taken a hair belonging to Calistha. Have you prepared the curse bag?"

            "Patience young man, you are truly an impatient woman. I need to complete my last ritual before the curse bag can fully function. Come inside." take the old witch while walking ahead of Tiffany to enter another part of her house. While walking behind the old witch, Tiffany looked horrified at the strange objects she saw along the room she passed. But he immediately grinned cunningly as he imagined Calistha's body would slowly weaken due to the curse of the old witch. He was very sure, after this Aiden would not be able to save Calistha from the curse of the witch.

            "You're gonna be an aunt soon, right? Did the king not throw a great feast to welcome the presence of his successor?"

            Suddenly the witch spoke in front of Tiffany. With a hideous smile, the witch turned towards Tiffany while lifting the curse bag she had prepared on her desk.

            "Aiden? It seemed like he would never throw a party to welcome the presence of his successor, even he was just acting normal when the healer told him Calistha was pregnant. I thought Aiden didn't like it." Tiffany replied unconcernedly. The witch chuckled softly as she mixed her hair

Calistha into the cup containing the cursed items she had prepared. The witch knows what really happened to Aiden, what caused the king to look unhappy with Calistha's pregnancy. And the witch felt very impatient to tell Tiffany this because she was sure, Tiffany would be more and more eager to take revenge on Calistha.

            "The king is actually very happy, but only worried."

            "Worry? I think every day Aiden is worried. You must know that all this time he had a lot of enemies out there. How could he possibly live a quiet life with so many enemies." - Tiffany poked. The woman seemed to be admiring every black object that was inside the witch's house without knowing that the witch was looking at her with a serious look from behind her own eyes.

            "King Aiden was not worried about his enemies. He is currently concerned about the safety of the queen and her son. Do you know that king Aiden has great power in him?"

            Instantly Tiffany immediately turned around while staring with interest at the old witch. During

this he never knew if Aiden turned out to have a power in him. He thought Aiden was just an ordinary man full of curses and a miserable way of life.

            "Aiden has powers? Why did I never know that? What power is hidden inside his body?"

            "He has great power in his body. The curse that was given to him was not merely a curse. The curse is like two swords that can harm him, but it can also benefit him. During this time Aiden can see the future, can live again, and can finish off his enemies easily because of the curse. Yet all that power will slowly vanish along with the woman destined for her pregnancy. King Aiden and your brother should not have done anything before they were married, for it is certain that the state of the kingdom is still not as stable as it is today. There are still many bad people who try to hurt the King and his partner, so the king should still have that power to ward off any evil that tries to hurt him and the queen. But as your brother is pregnant, Aiden's power is getting weaker and weaker, he can't predict the enemy's movements anymore, and as your brother's womb ages, he's not able to predict the enemy's movements anymore, king Aiden will be killed easily. You can kill King Aiden and your brother without them

come back to life." the witch explained at length. Tiffany seemed so surprised by a fact she had just learned. It is fitting that his cunning has always been known by Aiden, it turns out that he always lost steps with the man. But now that all that will not happen again, with Calistha's condition being pregnant, Aiden will not be able to read his movements anymore. He can do anything easily without worrying that his plan will fail. But, that means he mustn't kill Calistha now. He must maintain the Calistha content so that Aiden's strength really gets weaker and disappears.

            "Then, I can't kill Calistha right now. At least I have to keep the womb

Calistha up to really big, so Aiden can be defeated easily. Give me a light bag of curses, at least the bag of curses is just torturous, not hurtful. Can you?"

            "I thought you were gonna ask for this. I've prepared a curse bag that will put your sister to sleep for three days. Put this curse bag under your brother's bed, and he won't wake up for the next three days." said the witch while giving her a small dull black pouch that had been filled with all sorts of cursed things and a strand of Calistha's hair. Tiffany immediately smirked cunningly when she received the curse bag and imagined how Aiden's panicked face would be when Calistha did not wake up from her sleep for three days. Although it sounded like the curse was very light, but the effect would be extremely terrifying. If Calistha does not wake up from her sleep for three days, then she will not be able to eat and she will drown when she wakes up later. And that's enough torture for the size of a pregnant woman.

            "All right, I'm gonna put this curse bag under his bed. Here's your reward, three more days I'll come to ask for another bag of curses. See you." said Tiffany to the witch with a satisfied smile. The magician only looked at Tiffany's steadfast back with a sinister-looking rascality. Finally, after a long time he lived alone in the kingdom of Chronos without having a successor, finally he found a proper successor to inherit all his cunning and black magic. Slowly he would bring Tiffany closer to him, then he would make Tiffany his student and he would teach Tiffany all the black magic he mastered. He was certain that the woman would inherit her crime perfectly.

-00-

            In the palace of Chronos, Aiden seemed to be in a state of turmoil as he sipped his own wine in his dark room. The news of Calistha's pregnancy that she received today was quite disturbing to her mind. He felt unprepared to have a successor, as he and Calistha were still surrounded by evil people. Plus at the moment

Gazelle has managed to escape from his dungeon thanks to Spencer's help, further adding to the list of bad guys he must rid Calistha of. Aiden then glanced at his wall clock at a glance while rubbing his frustrated face. The clock had been showing at seven in the evening, and he had not seen Calistha's condition since this morning. But a servant had told her that Calistha looked healthy at the moment and that she was conscious of her stings. He has also assigned Yuri and Sunny and his other bodyguards to provide extra care in Calistha's room so that he does not need to bring Calistha into his room tonight. He wants to at least think clearly to find a way out of all his very complicated problems. And he hoped that all his strength would not disappear along with the Calistha content that would grow, because he still needed all that power.

Tok tok tok tok

            The loud knock coming from the door instantly made Aiden return alert and began to uphold

his body swiftly. With a loud voice, Aiden allowed the knocker to enter his room. Before long, the large brown door was half opened, and featured the figure of a servant carrying a tray containing a cup of tea. Without a doubt, Aiden was direct

            "Please Your Majesty."

            Aiden just stared at the waiter flat and then he again struggled on the parchments that seemed to be scattered on the table. Today he is actually quite busy with various kinds of work, but all his thoughts are turned on Calistha and his future son to make all his work unfinished.

            "Why are you still standing there?"

            Suddenly Aiden cried out flatly as he saw the maid never coming out of his room and

it just continued to stand in front of his desk while hugging the tray he was holding. Hearing Aiden looking at her sharply, Gazelle began to exclaim inwardly as her ploy to attract Aiden's attention was successful. He will use this opportunity to ensnare Aiden into his trap.

            "Does Your Majesty need anything else? I am happy...."

            "No, I just want you out of my room." cut Aiden quickly in a cold voice. But unexpectedly, the waiter actually approached him while placing a tray that he hugged onto the table, to make some of his work covered by the tray.

            "You sure, king?" gazelle asked in a disdainful voice, followed by a movement of her hand that instantly removed her head covering cap just like that in front of Aiden.

            "Hmm, so you decided to disguise yourself as one of the servants in my palace? Not surprised." Aiden commented flatly with his pajama face. Gazelle boldly approached Aiden while sweeping his hand across the man's face. He has wanted this for a long time. Wanted to be next to Aiden while caressing Aiden's face intensely. He wants to show Aiden his love that never changes even though the man has rejected him many times.

            "Aiden, I miss you." whispered the sensual Gazelle in his ear. Aiden seemed to tighten his jaw while closing his eyes to be patient. Let him follow Gazelle's game this time and get the woman trapped in his trap.

            "Did you miss me too?" whispered Gazelle again. This time the woman grew bolder by stroking the chest of the Aiden field with a conductive motion. Then with no idea of shame, Gazelle immediately kissed Aiden's left cheek to make a loud bang in Aiden's quiet room.

              "I've always wanted to do that for a long time. Aiden, I love you. And I know you love me too. You'll never be happy with Calistha. That woman is just a cheap woman who doesn't deserve to be with you, only I'm a woman who deserves to be with you Aiden. Only I deserve to be with you."

            "Then prove to me how worthy it is to be with me, for I cannot take just any woman for granted. The woman who will be with me must be a beautiful woman and the best in everything, including in terms of descent" Aiden said calmly and without expression. Hearing that, Gazelle grew excited to get close to Aiden as she felt that the man was currently giving her a chance. If Aiden wants proof, then he will gladly do it. He will do anything to make him worthy and able to be with Aiden.

            "I'll prove it to you. What do you want from me? You want me to be pregnant like Calistha? I will prove to you that if you are with me you will get the best offspring, because I have a superior gene in me." Gazelle said arrogantly and confidently. This time Aiden began to turn his face right towards Gazelle to see how serious Gazelle was. While Gazelle who was being stared at by Aiden intensely immediately took advantage of the opportunity to kiss Aiden's lips, but Aiden managed to turn his face away, so that the red lips only landed on the corner of Aiden's cold lips.

            "I haven't allowed you to touch me yet, so don't try to kiss me if you don't want to miss this rare opportunity." cried Aiden coldly. Gazelle immediately turned her lips away from Aiden, but both of her hands still continued to move by actively caressing Aiden's field chest and the man's sturdy jaw. It really looks cheap now, it's ******!

            "Sorry, I've been looking forward to this for a long time. Oh, I want to ask you one thing, are you happy with the news of Calistha's pregnancy? I heard you look flat in response to that, did you really never expect a baby among you? Are you just enjoying

calistha's body?"

            "That's none of your business. You have no right to ask Calistha how I feel, you better think about your current fate because if I'm not satisfied, then I'll cut off your head right now." Aiden recalled in a cynical tone, but he still looks calm. I don't know what Aiden is planning right now. He seemed to take every touch Gazelle gave him, but he didn't fully accept her to be his companion either, so this really seemed confusing.

            "I'm sure you'll be satisfied with my body, because it's so much more beautiful than Calistha's." whispered Gazelle more intensely. The woman dared to touch Aiden's body with her dirty hands. But Aiden let it go until he was caught off guard and finally asked Gazelle to stand in front of him.

            "Keep away from my body and stand there, take off your clothes, I want to judge how beautiful your body is."

            Hearing that, Gazelle immediately jumped down from the arm of Aiden's chair and vigorously stripped all of her clothes leaving only a bra and a pink lace panty. He then with erotic movements began to wiggle his body in front of Aiden while making movements that were inappropriate to do. But he thinks it's worth it because he wants to draw Aiden's attention with his body. For him it doesn't matter if Aiden only likes his body, the important thing is that he can continue with Aiden, and he will slowly get rid of Calistha later.

                "Ahhh Aiden, do you like it.aaaaaaa." Gazelle groaned with a sexy voice accompanied by a sigh. Aiden looked at the woman flatly without saying anything. He didn't even notice if he was interested in Gazelle. But his flat attitude increasingly makes Gazelle go wild and return to erotic movements that are very disgusting to look at..

            "Touch me Aiden, I'm ready for you."

            "Hmm, you're pretty exciting. It seems you deserve me. Go to bed, I'll lock my door so that no one can interfere with our activities" Aiden said flatly. Gazelle, hearing this, was happy and about to jump into Aiden's arms, but Aiden stopped his movements and hinted at the woman to wait for him in bed.

            "Don't try touching me now because I don't like being touched by women first."

            Gazelle immediately nodded in understanding and immediately walked towards Aiden's big bed with great joy. His years of waiting paid off as well. He can spend the night with Aiden without being disturbed by anyone, including Calistha. Actually, he really wants the woman to witness for herself how the man he loves is making love with other women, it would feel very delicious. The pain of betrayal is more pain than the pain of a sword stab wound. Even the pain can keep following you until you die, even if you feel the pain.

                Before long Gazelle felt the bed next to him cringe, followed by a pair of burly arms that immediately embraced him.

                "Aiden, are you ready to take pleasure with me?" gazelle asked spoiled and instantly scooped Aiden's thin lips without waiting for an answer from the man. Tonight Gazelle vows to give satisfaction to Aiden. No matter what his pride will be afterwards marked as a woman*****, the important thing is that he can get Aiden in his hands. Most importantly, her love for so many years can be paid for by their union tonight.
