Toxic Empress

Night Misfortune

In the dark night where the moonlight radiates illuminates the glitter of darkness. Time when man stops all activities and rests to meet tomorrow. However, different things are happening in the lush and creepy forest, the sound of crows and the roar of wolves are earthy with each other. A woman in a bright red dress was fleeing from the killer.

The blond woman slammed into the bushes with her bare feet, her dress torn here and there by branches and thorns lodged in the thicket. A pair of clear blue netra did not stop shedding tears, plus the road he passed was full of leeches and mud because a few moments ago heavy rain flushed the land. The sound of her breathing was wheezing, her gaze was straight forward, she was holding onto her stomach which was in pain. The woman wanted to save herself and save another life that was residing in her womb.

“Stop you, stupid woman!”

Repeatedly hearing the voices of three men shouting behind his back, he chose to continue running forward without having to face back. Perih he felt in the heart as well as in the skin of the face and some parts of his body that were injured as a result of walking through the pitch-black wilderness without lighting, so many sharp objects have since scratched his skin. The woman's soles were filled with droplets of fresh blood from accidentally stepping on the glass shard.

“Hold me for a little while, I don't want to die at the hands of that killer.” He continued to mutter to himself to last longer, but the longer his strength diminished and caused his body to be unable to run any faster.

“Because of you!” A pair of burly hands pulled her body back, the woman tried to rebel, but she had no more energy for it. One of the men smothered the woman's mouth using a handkerchief containing anesthetic fluid. It didn't take long for them until finally the woman's consciousness was taken completely.

“Quick injection die him!” exclaimed one of the men who had a scar on his face.

The syringe was removed from the bag, and they stuck the syringe to the right side of the woman's neck. The dangerous injectable fluid flows into the body to make the woman's heartbeat and breathing stop completely. Not getting there alone, they dragged the woman's body to a rather airy place. They dug up the ground around there to bury the woman's body.

“Is it okay we kill him like this? No one else is here?” one of the fellow assassins looked anxiously half-dead, it could be seen that they were not professional assassins. They are simply men who are paid a lot to end the life of a woman who is considered a bully.

“Not mind you, do you not want to be free from slave status? I did this because I did not want to be a slave anymore,” replied his colleague back.

“Don't say much! Now throw that woman into this hole right away! After that, we report his death to him,” concluded another colleague.

They also threw the woman's body violently into a deep excavation hole. After that, they hoard the body as neat as possible and without leaving a suspicious trace. However, who would have thought that their actions were apparently witnessed by two men behind a large tree.

“Did you see that woman's face?” ask the burly young man to his friend.

“Yes, she looks similar to Miss Boss. I'm sure they killed it was his brother Miss boss, let's quickly catch them before running off.”

Both of them came out from hiding, their movements were as agile as the one who had been specially trained to kill. They both managed to surround the three people who killed the woman earlier. The assassins could not defend themselves, before they spoke up, the two men presented them with smoke containing a powerful anesthetic. The three assassins were immediately unconscious. The two men used magic to dismantle the woman's grave earlier. How surprised they were because their guess about who the identity of the woman was was was completely correct.

...***...

A luxurious castle stands on the abandoned royal grounds and is erased from the map. The kingdom that was once known to prosper, but ended up being a lagging kingdom because a few years ago there was a massive killing, so this kingdom disappeared from the search map. However, the kingdom was not entirely uninhabited, inside a luxurious palace castle, occupied by a beautiful woman. Not only the woman, even her countless subordinates also settled in the kingdom.

The beautiful woman is now in her study, but her facial features do not look good. Anxiety mixed with a bad feeling haunting the feeling, he did not stop from ruffling his blonde hair. His silver-colored eyes continued to look for ways to calm the feeling that had been jumbled for several days. The white skin glows and the sexy rancid lips don't stop babbling on their own. The frenzy in the heart finally peaked on this day, he rose from his seat then faced the full moon that was shining happily after the rain.

Xena Alister is the leader of the most wanted group of assassins in the world. The group is called Higanbana, where every victim they will kill, a few days before will be haunted and sent a higanbana flower which is a symbol of death. This beautiful red flower became the source of fear from all people in this world. However, not a single person was able to find the hiding place of this mysterious group of assassins.

“Why am I so anxious these few days? Alina didn't return my letter either. Is it possible that my anxiety has something to do with Alina?” muttered.

“Jeez, can't you stop pacing? The tea provided by the waiter you did not even touch in the slightest,” reprimand a man with brown eyes, his light green eyes decorated by glasses. The handsome man was Xena's right hand, all this time she had always been the most loyal subordinate.

“Can't, Laiv. I didn't get any news from my twin brother, now I don't know what the worst possibility is that is happening to him,” Xena said.

Brakkk

Suddenly a subordinate of Xena barged into the room, his breathing sounding disjointed.

“Nona boss! Miss Alina was found lifeless inside the forest!” report the man loudly and blatantly.

“Huh? Are you kidding me?” ask Laiv not to believe it.

“No, I'm not kidding.”

The lines of Xena's face stiffened from the excessive shock, without lingering Xena immediately went away from her study and towards the forest where her subordinates intended.
