Toxic Empress

Xena's Hatred

Xena stood before Thorn, anger burning like fire burning Xena's body. The girl had reached the limit from the depths of the abyss of hatred and anger that was no longer contained.

Thorn rubbed his stomach, he looked up at Xena. She is a different girl than before. At first glance, the twinkle of the eye was filled with strokes of various pent-up emotions.

"You will die, Barbarian king. Your life is within my grasp."

A voice that is dominated by pressure and sounds sharp in hearing. A cold expression that no longer showed mercy. Xena was on the cusp of a grudge buried from within a long time ago.

"You won't be able to kill me because the Demon King is on my side. That's why, Xena, I'll make sure you die at my hands after this."

Suddenly Thorn's existence disappears from Xena's sight. He escaped the death threat the princess gave him. It was annoying because Xena had not had time to incise a deeper wound on Thorn's body.

"Damn! He's driving me crazy" Xena grumbled.

Then Xander and Xavier rushed over to Xena. They seem very worried about Xena's condition.

"Are you hurt?" ask Xander.

"Mother, please tell us which part of the body is sick now" Xavier added.

Xena let out a long sigh, unexpectedly they would be this golden against her.

"Just calm down, I'm fine. It's just a small wound, I can still manage the pain."

"Can't be!" sergeant Xander. "Come now tell Klaus to check your wound. We don't know what the hell that made*n do to you."

Xena is forced to pull Xander and Xavier to Klaus' place. Xena just resigned herself and obeyed the wishes of the two men.

After the examination, there were only minor injuries that were not severe. Klaus had given the medicine so that the wound would dry up.

"Miss, you're making me very tense" Elinor said, leaning her head against Xena's shoulder.

Giselle nodded. "It was a fight that was enough to make blood rustle" he added.

"Yes, thankfully nothing serious happened to you" said Floris, sitting on an empty sofa.

"Next time don't be like that again, miss. You made me almost have a heart attack." Search stroked his chest, Xena's fight with Thorn made him very tense.

Xena just smiled looking at the response from her subordinate. They had always been like this when Xena was faced with a powerful enemy.

"There's nothing you need to worry about. What you have to worry about is yourself being too weak."

Laiv suddenly appeared from the entrance, the cold man made the atmosphere of the room unpretentious. He always put on a serious face every time he talked to all of them.

"Miss, I brought you your favorite chocolate cake."

Xena's expression changed as Gia brought her favorite snack. Gia's arrival brought a more relaxed atmosphere.

"Well, you're the best, Gia!" Xena gave a thumbs up to Gia.

They accompanied Xena in the room while chatting. Joking each other and throwing head contents together is something they usually do.

While Xena was in a different room, Xander was with Garvin and Liam talking seriously. Xander still did not think that the security defenses of the headquarters could be broken so easily.

"Your Majesty, please drink this first so that you are not too tense," Garvin said, handing over a cup of tea.

"Yes, thank you."

"I don't know, but for now I have to increase the security around Xena. I don't know why, I feel like something bad might happen later" Xander said.

"Then, I will help you strengthen the security of the headquarters. Anyway now I live in this place because it's safer."

***

At different times, Thorn arrives at his castle in a staggering state due to the wounds he received from Xena. He continuously cursed Xena who had made him like that. Now he himself has trouble breathing because the pain spreads throughout the body.

"What has the girl done? He could have made me feel this pain" Thorn murmured.

The servants rushed to help Thorn clean up and treat his wounds. Although the wound is not visible from the outside, it is only felt from inside the body.

"Why is the pain not lessened in the least? I feel that this pain is becoming more and more in my body."

Thorn couldn't cope with the deep wounds Xena gave him. Now he could only lie weakly helplessly on top of the bed.

At the same time, someone appeared before Thorn. The figure of the man he feared stood right before his eyes. Thorn suddenly rose from his lying position and gave his greetings to the man.

"Greet His Majesty King Verden."

Yes, that man is Verden, the main enemy behind all this chaos. Verden stared coldly at Thorn's appalling condition.

"What happened to you? Didn't I tell you to bring Xena before me?" verden said opening his voice.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. That girl is so strong, she uses tricks to defeat me."

"really?"

Verna panned suspiciously, she did not believe Xena was using such a dirty trick.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Is it not because you started it?"

Thorn flinched, he had lied to Verden. It all started with his own stupidity.

"No, I didn't start it. I—"

"Thorn, have you dared to lie before me? Do you think I don't know what your plan is behind my back? You want to kill Xena. Am I right?"

Suddenly Thorn's body trembled violently, unable to move his tongue to explain Verden.

"Because you didn't answer, then I assumed that you were going to kill Xena. You have broken my orders. I warned you not to kill him. However, you're very stubborn and self-informed" Verden said.

"No, Your Grace. I don't intend to kill him. Please forgive me."

Thorn kowtowed under Verden's feet, but it seemed Verden showed no interest in Thorn.

"It's too late. I don't trust you anymore. So, you'd better vanish from the face of the earth now."

Verden casts his magic, wrapping Thorn's body under immense force.

"No! Your Majesty, please give me one more chance. I beg you, I beg you, Your Majesty!"

Thorn disappeared from the world. He was brutally murdered by Verden.
