The Queen Of Time
Like A Moth To A Flame (Fourty Eight)

Kriett

            The creaking sound of the wooden door being opened made Calistha immediately jump up from her sleeping position. Seeing Aiden coming, Calistha was only able to bow her head without daring to approach Aiden who was currently walking towards him. He doesn't know what to do with Aiden. He still felt guilty about all his evil attitude towards the man.

            "You haven't slept?"

            "What's? Aa not yet, I just got in." Calistha replied as if. Aiden only relaxed his shoulders lightly while still walking towards Calistha who was still faithfully standing in place with a stiff body.

            "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

            Aiden's right hand immediately stretched forward to feel Calistha's wrinkled forehead skin. But Calistha actually walked backwards while shaking her head, while Aiden's palm still hung in the air.

            "You avoiding me?" ask Aiden flat. His right hand he lowered slowly but his footsteps

keep walking forward to reach Calistha. He knew the woman was currently feeling scared of him because of the incident this afternoon.

            "I'm sorry."

            Now Calistha ventured to stare at Aiden's jet bead with teary eyes. The woman looked so hurt and felt guilty about everything she had done. Then a second later Calistha immediately raised her hand to hold Aiden's body into her arms. He missed Aiden a lot.

            "I'm sorry, I admit I'm wrong" Calistha said. Aiden patted Calistha's back slowly while sighing lightly. That woman is confusing. He did not know what Calistha's mindset was, but Calistha really confused him with his fickle attitude. Was it because of her pregnancy?

            "Where have you been?"

            "I just went outside to clear my mind." Calistha lied doubtfully. At this time he could not possibly tell Aiden if he intended to escape his kingdom. Tonight he just wants to mend his relationship with Aiden, who was interrupted this afternoon, and he will not attempt to provoke any confrontation with Aiden unless he starts it.

            "Without my permission and unaccompanied by Yuri and Sunny? Do you intend to escape from my kingdom, and from me?" search Aiden while looking at his face. Calistha's cheeks became red because of the distance Aiden's face was so close to his face. Even though they had already been within such a close distance, Calistha would still feel blushing if Aiden was within this close distance.

            "No, I really just want to clear my mind." elak Calistha stammered while trying to get away from Aiden. But Aiden immediately held back his steps because the man was still not finished with him. The man still wanted to ask Calistha a lot of things as well as give punishment for the reckless deeds that the woman did.

            "I know you're lying to me, you intend to escape my palace because I yelled at you so violently this afternoon. Ck, it turns out you're that coward. You easily run away from the problems you're doing by running away from me. Are all the descendants of king Kairos really like that?"

            Calistha immediately felt offended by Aiden's remark. Although he is a coward for trying to escape and avoid his problems with Aiden, he does not like that his kingdom and his parents should be involved in this matter. Obviously, none of this has anything to do with them, why did Aiden drag them into this? Is it because Aiden hates his family and his kingdom so much that it has caused his life to suffer all this time?

            "They have nothing to do with any of this. All of my attitude is not because I am a descendant of the Kairos kingdom, but because of your infuriating attitude" Calistha said furiously. Aiden seemed to grin while folding both his hands in front of his chest. He liked to see Calistha in this angry state. Because

Calistha will look more beautiful and sexy when angry.

            "Of course they're in contact with all this, because they've donated one of your annoying dissident and self-loving traits. Who else would have passed down that trait if it weren't for your parents, the king and queen of Kairos."

            "Stop! I know that they've made your life a mess like this, but please don't involve them in this matter because they really have nothing to do with any of this. All of this was due to my stubbornness and great selfishness. I admit to being wrong, I did intend to run away and go as far away from you."

            "You intend to separate me from my own son?" aiden asked with a look of wrath. Calistha seemed to let out a slow sigh as she looked at Aiden full of regret. He felt that this problem would be very long later.

            "I didn't mean to separate you from this kid, I just wanted to get away from you because I felt guilty. I feel unworthy to be your queen because I never gave you anything. You have sacrificed too much for me. You even gave me a very high position. I'm ashamed of myself Aiden, I feel unworthy to get all that." cried Calistha frustrated. Aiden stared flatly at Calistha without a word and just looked at that silent face expressionlessly. I don't know what Aiden is currently thinking about him, which he clearly feels resigned to all the things that Aiden will do to him. If Aiden really wants to scold him and shower him with various kinds of insults, he will accept all of it with a chesty air. As long as Aiden does not bring up his family who have been calm in nature there, he does not like if his family is used as an excuse for his stubborn and dissident attitude.

            "You're done? Are you satisfied with all the things you did today? Are you satisfied to have exhausted my entire bodyguard just to find you all over the Khronos?" ask Aiden flat.

            "Aiden, sometimes I don't know what to do with my life right now. I fear. I

having a lot of fear in my head that makes me always afraid to love you and give my whole life for you. Sorry, I don't trust you completely. But I won't deny it either if I start to get comfortable around you and I also feel empty if you don't show up in front of me. And most importantly you're the father of the baby I've been carrying. We have a very strong bond with the presence of this baby. So I hope you can wait for me. But if you can't wait, you can find another woman who loves you more than I do" Calistha said. Aiden obviously disliked Calistha's last words because she seemed to allow him to have an affair with another woman. Then what does all his anger mean today if Calistha still allows him to love another woman, while he has made it clear to her that he cannot love another woman but her.

            "Who has the right to decide that? This is my life, I am free to choose my own woman. And I've decided to vote for you, even though you're stubborn, dissident, and of Kairos descent, I don't care."

            "Well, I don't know what to say to you other than thank you. Thank you Aiden for your sincerity, I will try to love you with all my heart."

            Calistha then ventured to kiss Aiden's lips as a gift for the sincerity and sincerity the man loved her. It had never been imagined before in his mind that he would get such a great love like this. How lucky he was to be born as a couple from Aiden, because the man destined for him was really perfect and he was not sure he could get another man as good and sincere as Aiden like this.

            Aiden replied to the pangutan that Calistha started with a soulful and passionate kiss. It felt like those red lips had become a palanquin unto him. He could not forget the taste of the lips every time he was away from Calistha. According to him, his lips and Calistha's lips have a strong attraction like two magnetic rods that will continue to be attracted to each other wherever and whenever they are.

Crew

            Their kiss suddenly came to a halt when Aiden heard a strange sound emanating from Calistha's body. While Calistha looked so surprised while hiding a red hue that was clearly imprinted on her face. Just now his stomach was sounding quite loud because this afternoon he had not eaten anything. Actually tonight he intends to eat, but he actually had a problem with Aiden until he finally decided to ignore his dinner and chose to leave the palace of Chronos. But just look at what happened from the results of his actions, he was currently hungry and half-dead and ended up humiliating himself in front of Aiden. After this he was sure Aiden would make fun of his noisy, embarrassing stomach voice.

            "You hungry? You haven't eaten yet?"

            Calistha nodded resignedly as she hugged her stomach tightly. Aiden then clucked back while pulling Calistha's arm out of her room. He would bring Calistha into the kitchen so that she could ask the palace chef to cook the food according to her wishes. Especially when Calistha is pregnant, and usually pregnant women sometimes want something to eat as a result of the surge in hormones experienced.

            "Where are we going?" ask Calistha astonished. Suddenly Aiden pulled him out of his room and was dragged to another part of the palace. But he could have guessed that Aiden would drag him into the kitchen because nowhere else would Aiden go after the man with his own ears heard the sound of his stomach starving.

            "Kitchen, you can ask the palace chef to cook the food you like." replied Aiden flatly. This time Calistha chose to give in silently and just follow Aiden's wide-footed steps that continued to lead him towards the kitchen.

            "Your Majesty, good night."

            "Wait a minute, I'm not asking you to cook me food. Me and my baby wanted to eat the dishes made by king Aiden." Calistha said softly to the servant. Aiden snorted right next to Calistha and asked the chef to cook.

            "Don't joke Cals, you're going to eat the cuisine of the palace chef." angered Aiden exasperated. If Calistha continued to test her patience like this, she did not know what would happen to Calistha later on. He felt that he had completely run out of patience with Calistha's annoying attitude today.

            "I don't want to, I just want food made by you. I don't know why I'd really like to see you cook. Aiden, please.me and my baby need enough nutrition, and now we're hungry." whined Calistha childishly. Aiden seemed to thin his lips in annoyance while staring intimidatingly at the palace chef who was staring at him and also Calistha with amused eyes.

            "What do you see? You want me to gouge out those two crooked eyes, huh?" snapped Aiden horribly. The palace chef directly bowed his head and seemed to not dare to look at Aiden and Calistha again. Meanwhile, Calistha immediately giggled softly when she saw the reaction of the palace chef which was very funny. Aiden couldn't have done that, but he was so scared and shaking. Next time he would advise Aiden not to be too harsh on his servants.

            "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't mean it that way. If you want to cook for His Holiness Calistha, you can use the kitchen now" said the chef still with his head lowered. Aiden looked at Calistha with a flat look, while Calistha looked pleading as she clenched her hands together in front of her chest. Taking a furious breath, Aiden ordered the chef to take him to the grocery storage cabinet, as he would cook food for Calistha and her baby.

            "Show me where the food storage cabinet is." Aiden said in full force. Hearing that Calistha immediately cheered cheerfully as she walked following Aiden who had first walked away from her. One of her reflex-free hands stroked her flat stomach while muttering to her future baby if today they were going to eat Aiden's delicious dishes.

            "Son, soon we will eat your father's cooking." chirped Calistha cheerfully.

            Meanwhile Aiden who was in front of him seemed to snort annoyed at Calistha's attitude that continuously troubled him. The woman had really made her have to feel the overflowing emotions in her heart and also made her have to be extra patient in the face of her strange pregnancy. Now Calistha is more whiny and likes to sulk at him if he has started to act hard on the woman. The woman told him to cook food, but he never cooked. The only recipe he knew was how to make mushroom soup that his late mother had taught him many years ago. But he hoped Calistha would like it, because she really could not cook any other food besides that. After all if Calistha did not like her, it was certain that she would scold the woman all-out and punish her for humiliating her in front of the entire palace cook. How not, a king who was always cold and arrogant suddenly went into the kitchen to make a bowl of mushroom soup, it seemed strange and laughable.

            "This is a storage cabinet of vegetable and meat materials. While the gray cabinet is a storage area for dry materials such as mushrooms and spices. Then the chocolate cabinet at the end of the room is the place to store wheat." explained the chef. The entire kitchen occupants who were originally busy with their respective work immediately stiffened in place while stealing glances at Aiden and Calistha who suddenly came into their area. Seeing that, Calistha immediately smiled gently at them and told them to stay concentrated on their work. But Aiden, the man actually put on his terrible fierce face while spreading an intimidating aura on all the kitchen residents who dared to steal a glance at him.

            "What do you see? Back to your work! Do you want my sword to float in both your eyes." cried Aiden fiercely. The entire eye gaze that was originally busy stealing glances instantly turned just like that without daring to look at Aiden and Calistha again.

                "Give me a place to cook mushroom soup, and I'll pick up the ingredients I need myself" Aiden told the palace chef. After that Aiden immediately walked directly to the vegetable and meat storage cabinet to pick up the ingredients he would cook.

            Meanwhile Calistha seemed to be sitting himself on a wooden chair with a chin supported. He felt really happy because Aiden wanted to obey his desire to cook food. At this moment he was already impatient to taste Aiden's dishes, and of course because this was the first time Aiden made something for him, Calistha was nervous. Since then he has continued to imagine what dishes will be cooked by Aiden, because he himself was unsure of the ability to cook Aiden, Aiden, considering he survived this never touched the kitchen area and was only preoccupied with his mountainous work and also war. It was certain that his cooking ability would not be as good as his fighting ability.

            "You like carrots and broccoli?"

            Suddenly Aiden walked up to him, carrying two broccoli and carrots in his wide hands. The man looked strange with the vegetables, making Calistha want to laugh out loud in front of the man. But when he saw Aiden's grim countenance that seemed to be getting grim, Calistha finally

he abandoned his intention to laugh. He only smiled a little as a form of appreciation to the man.

            "I like both."

            The man was then preoccupied with chopping the two vegetables, while the inhabitants of the kitchen looked like statues in their respective places because they were so frightened by the threat of Aiden who could not play games. Calistha herself felt quite pity, but she could do nothing because she had no power here. It was just an ordinary woman who was given a high position by Aiden.

            Calistha's attention was suddenly distracted by the sound of an oil hiss clashing with spices

it was written by Aiden. Calistha was stunned by Aiden's cooking ability. He thought that Aiden could not cook, but he was wrong. Aiden's cooking ability looks excellent. The man looked lithe as he held the pan he used to saute the seasoning. Feeling noticed, Aiden suddenly looked up and immediately looked up at the two Calistha caramel beads. The two of them looked at each other for quite a while, and in the end Aiden broke eye contact with his deadly grin that managed to make Calistha's heart beat fast.

            "You turned out to be good at cooking." Calistha commented lightly. At this time he had walked up to Aiden while giving him a white ceramic bowl to pour the soup made by Aiden. The man shrugged his shoulders lightly and looked unconcerned by Calistha's comments. After feeling the soup had matured, Aiden then immediately poured the soup on the bowl that had been prepared by Calistha. Then he reached for a tall glass not far from him to take the orange juice the waiter had prepared in the teapot.

            "You don't mind drinking a glass of orange juice?" bargain Aiden while raising her glass. Calistha shook her head no problem as she lifted her soup bowl onto the table. Some of the occasional kitchen dwellers still stole a glance towards Calistha while glancing at the results of their king's cooking that had never cooked at all.

            "Please queen, good-bye." whispered Aiden teasingly next to his ear. The man's burly hand was then stretched out to put down the glass of orange juice he had poured out of the teapot. Calistha then turned her head to the side with a happy face. Unexpectedly Aiden directly******* his lips soft in the middle of the kitchen dwellers who seemed shocked by the activities carried out by their king and queen. While Aiden who was uncomfortable with the gazes of the palace residents immediately released his lip link from Calistha and immediately spread a menacing aura on all of them so that they would not steal too much opportunity to watch the activities kissed with Calistha.

            "Return to your own work if you still love your lives." Gertak Aiden's. The inhabitants of the kitchen one by one walked out of the kitchen because their work had actually been completed. Now in the quiet kitchen is only left Calistha and Aiden who are still cool with their kissing activities.

            "Aiden, you're scaring them." Calistha muttered right in front of Aiden's lips. Aiden glanced at the condition of the palace kitchen which was currently empty, without any intruders who would interfere with their activities.

            "They've gone? Good, they won't bother us." said Aiden casually while sitting next to Calistha. The man put a spoon on Calistha and asked the woman to taste her cooking immediately.

            "Try it. It's the only dish I can make."

            Aiden shamelessly admitted that in front of Calistha. While watching Calistha put soup into her mouth, Aiden began to recall memories of her childhood with her late mother. At that moment he was really happy. Even though he had gotten a curse, but he seemed not to get a curse because his parents always treated him like ordinary children. He is allowed to play and learn without being limited by anything. Sometimes his father would also take him hunting in the forest, and if they get hunted animals such as rabbits or deer, his mother would certainly cook them processed rabbit meat or venison are very delicious. She missed her happy childhood moments.

            "It's delicious, it's delicious. You want to try that too?" bargain Calistha with a spoon pointed in front of her mouth. Without hesitation Aiden devoured a spoonful of soup given by Calistha while closing his eyes favorably. This feeling reminds me of you, Mom.

            "Aiden, where did you learn to cook this soup? It tastes so good. I like it." comment

Calistha happy. Aiden then turned his head to Calistha while smiling gently at the woman. Tonight his mood suddenly brightened again after he cooked a mushroom soup that was once taught by his mother. His heart was filled with warm and happy feelings. He no longer felt angry at Calistha and wanted to punish Calistha, instead he wanted to always caress Calistha so that she felt comfortable being around him.

            "The mother who taught me. When I was sick my mother used to cook mushroom soup for me and the next day she taught me to make it so I could make my own when I was sick. And it turns out that the experience was worth it, now I can make it for you even if you're not sick." Aiden clearly with a gentle smile. Calistha felt so touched by Aiden's story that she finally decided to embrace the sturdy body of Aiden who was beside her.

            "Thank you, Aiden, I really like it. This is the best meal I've ever eaten."

            Aiden gave a fleeting smile and returned Calistha's tight embrace to her body. If only every day his relationship with Calistha was as good as this, it would definitely be a lot of fun. But unfortunately their relationship is always colored by conflicts and problems so they can't always be warm to each other like this. But even so Aiden was already grateful enough. Life without conflict would be boring for him. But life filled with conflict will also saturate. Life should be tinged with various circumstances. He needs sweet moments like these, as well as moments of conflict that drain energy and emotion. And most importantly he needs Calistha as a complement to his life.

            "Dear, but it's not free. You have to pay the price." whispered Aiden suddenly with a grin. Instantly Calistha instantly released her embrace from Aiden while looking at the man with a look of disbelief.

            "What's? You charge for a bowl of soup and a glass of orange juice you'll give your own son? What kind of father are you, what a reckoning." Calistha's pouty. But it was only reached by Aiden with a small oddity because he felt quite amused by Calistha's unexpected response.

            "I'm not Calistha's reckoning father, but I just want to ask you what you're supposed to give me. I want you tonight." whispered Aiden gently in front of Calistha's lips before the man scooped his lips and pulverized her with a demanding lust. It looks like tonight will be a long night for Aiden and Calistha, as the bond between them can only be built with their hot, exciting nights like this.
