The Queen Of Time
Still Stuck In That Time (Fifty One)

Kriett

            The sound of a loud door creak made Aiden immediately look up his head from a pile of parchment he was reading. At the end of the door Calistha seemed to smile gently while waving her cheerful hands towards him, but it was only Aiden with a flat gaze and his pajas were not at all friendly.

            "What's wrong? I'm busy."

             Aiden directly attacked Calistha with his flat words before the woman conveyed her intention of coming to meet him. Feeling her presence was not expected, Calistha's face immediately turned moody as she stomped her feet onto the marble floor of Aiden's room.

            "I'm sorry, Your Honorable King Aiden, I don't mean to bother you, I just want to ask permission to take a walk out with Sunny and Yuri, is allowed?" calistha asked in a paused tone. Aiden scrunched his forehead disliking and felt riled up by the presence of Calistha who was always able to break his concentration. Now all that work must be neglected because he cannot ignore Calistha for too long. The woman had actually managed to ruin all of her concentration that she had so painstakingly built up this morning.

            "Where are you going?"

            "Only around the palace. I just wanted to see the other corners of the palace, which I had never been to. Can I?"

            This time Calistha asked feelingly and implied the full tone of the plea in each sentence. He hoped that Aiden would allow it without much thought.

            "Hmm, can I trust you to leave safely and come home safe as well?"

            "O Lord Aiden, I only go out for the streets, not for war. Can you trust me a little and remove your skepticism from me?" erang Calistha frustrated. Aiden only raised his eyebrows briefly and after that he seemed to start thinking. Last time he let Calistha out together

Yuri and Sunny, Calistha actually fainted due to her pregnancy. Now he found it a little difficult to allow Calistha to go with her guards out of the palace. The woman sometimes likes to harm herself and make her panic is extraordinary because of the circumstances of the woman who is always unexpected. But not allowing Calistha out is not a good solution, it makes Calistha more stressed with the situation. So. now he feels a dilemma.

            "Can I trust you?"

            Calistha rolled her eyes off guard and seemed to run out of patience with the overprotective attitude Aiden put in. What he's going to do out there, he just wants to take a walk. Not more!

            "I promise you'll be okay. You can trust me Aiden." said Calistha growled. It felt like he was very anxious for Aiden and wanted to pinch both of Aiden's cheeks to resuscitate the man if he was going to be okay.

            "Be careful Cals, I can still read your mind." Aiden recalled when Calistha started planning things inside her head. Instantly Calistha immediately blushed in embarrassment because all the things she thought were indeed related to Aiden.

            "So.. will you let me?" ask Calistha expectantly. Aiden let out a heavy sigh, but finally he nodded his head at Calistha as a sign that he allowed Calistha to go out and take a walk around the palace.

            "Aaaa, thank you Aiden."

            "But.."

             Instantly his overflowing excitement stalled, replaced with a feeling of anxiety as he waited for the next speech Aiden would say. Do not let the happiness he has achieved is a pseudo happiness that will eventually be torn down by Aiden just like that.

            "But you should always be careful. Avoid all things that are harmful."

            "All right, I get it. Until. oh, there's one thing I want to ask you." Calistha suddenly recalled Spencer's cold-looking attitude and seemed to be doing well. It felt like he needed to talk about this matter to Aiden since it concerned the feelings of his loyal bodyguard.

            "I want to ask Spencer about it. Does he always show a hostile attitude and look cold?"

            "You interacted with him?"

            Aiden answers Calistha's question with a question that only Calistha can answer with a nod. He is afraid that he will cause trouble again and cause Spencer trouble.

            "You didn't forbid me from interacting with him, did you?"

             "No, I was just asking. But I don't think you interacted with him too much, especially now that he's in a difficult time. Although he obeyed my orders to kill Gazelle, but his little heart still did not accept it all, so lately he has always been more cynical and cold than in previous days, before he killed Gazelle."

            "Yes, I understand now. I must have caused his wound to re-scratch. I feel guilty for her." Calistha said sadly. It was clear how Spencer's facial expression was as he discussed Gazelle's matter before the man. Now he really feels guilty.

told him to forget all about his problems with Spencer, but he felt he couldn't. He wanted to see Spencer and apologized to the man for causing him discomfort and was again hurt by Gazelle's death. Inwardly, she was determined to meet Spencer and apologize to him no matter what. No matter how cynical and fierce the man's attitude might be, he would still meet the man and apologize to him for his sassiness today.

            "Fire.....Fire, get some water!"

            "Please, there's a fire..."

            The screams of the residents of Khronos who were trying to extinguish the flame that engulfed one of the houses in the middle of the market sounded so loud and increasingly made the atmosphere around the market became gripping. Some traders who were peddling their wares immediately ran in search of buckets and water to help other residents extinguish the flames that were rising high into the air. The black dense smoke made the entire population of Khronos who was extinguishing the flames around the house immediately coughed. But with all their might they continued to try to extinguish the flame and save one of the inhabitants of Khornos who was still trapped in the very fierce blaze.

            Spencer lurks from a distance while smiling knots. His work this time went well. The witch's house was now exhausted, engulfed by the red whiz who indiscriminately devoured all the materials that made up the house. The small explosions coming from inside the house were several times loud in Spencer's hearing, a sign that the whole house and its contents would not be left after this.

             "What happened, excuse me. Please let me through."

              Spencer smirked in satisfaction when he saw Tiffany's stiff face, which looked so shocked by the huge fire that had engulfed the witch's house. After this the woman will not be able to harm the king and queen with black magic coming from the witch because she is very sure if the witch has died.

            “Quick extinguish the fire! You, get inside that house. You have to find the old woman inside." Tiffany cried out in emotion as she pushed the body of a man standing not far from her. The man seemed reluctant to respond to Tiffany's orders as he could not possibly break into the house that was about to collapse, engulfed by the huge flames that were raging in the sky. If he was reckless to enter, he would not be able to come out again and end horribly along with the occupants of the house who may have died.

            "I can't miss, the fire is too big. Moreover, this building will soon collapse, I really cannot go inside and save the old lady who lives inside there."

            "Basic coward! Anyone, please go in and save the old lady trapped inside. Hey, are you guys listening to me?"

            Tiffany exclaimed out loud like a madman who exclaimed at anyone she met. But no one dared to enter the house to save Sybil, the dark wizard. Now Tiffany is only able to kneel resignedly in front of the shapeless ruins of Sybil's house. The grand plan he had planned with Sybil last night had to be dashed because of this fire disaster. While kneeling and lamenting her failed plan, Tiffany appears to clench her hands in wrath and vows to find anyone who has disrupted her plans and brutally murdered Sybil.

            "Whoever it is, I will definitely not let it live quietly."

            "Queen, does the queen want to return to the palace now?" ask Yuri who is walking next to him. Calistha shook her head slowly as she pointed at the thick plume of black smoke rising above the sky. The three women were both observing the black smoke with various questions flashing in their hearts.

            "The smoke is coming from downtown, something must be going on there" Sunny said worriedly. Yuri nodded her head in agreement while holding Calistha's hand to take the woman back to the palace.

            "Better Your Majesty immediately return to the palace, here it is not safe for the queen." take Yuri with a slight force. Calistha simply walked around following Yuri and Sunny who had pulled her wrists away. However, his leg movements suddenly came to a halt as he heard noisy noises coming from behind the bushes behind him.

            "Sstt, did you guys hear that?" ask Calistha suddenly. Yuri and Sunny looked at each other while sniffing her shoulders in confusion, as they both heard nothing at all.

            "A sound? We didn't hear any sound?"

Srek

             "Sstt, that voice came from the bushes over there."

            Regardless of Sunny and Yuri's ban, Calistha immediately stepped over to the bushes that were in front of her eyes. He was very sure that the noise was coming from behind the bushes, and he felt that something wrong must have happened there.

              "Yeah...!"

            Yuri and Sunny immediately shouted out loud as they saw a terrifying looking hand protruding out from behind the lush bushes. Before long, a face that also looked terrible poked out from behind the bushes, making Calistha who saw it feel quite surprised, he said, but as much as possible he refrained from shouting like Yuri and Sunny.

            "Ttoo Help me.." the old woman groaned before she fell unconscious before him horribly.
