Toxic Empress

Foolish Minds

Xena left for the center of the capital with Gia, during her time in the market, Xena bought a lot of goods. Arriving at the boutique, without thinking long he bought all the dresses that were there. Not to forget also he stopped at the jewelry store, all kinds of jewelry he bought to spend several tens of gold coins. Even though Xena had bought things from insignificant to important, it was still that the number of gold coins did not decrease much.

“Why doesn't the money decrease much? Are all these items I bought really as cheap as this price?” Xena started to get tired and complained about her money not being reduced much.

“Nona, actually I'm also a little surprised by the number of gold coins you have, actually if you have this many gold coins, you can buy several hectares of land,” said Gia.

Xena breathed heavily, she never thought about how to spend money, because all her needs were taken care of by Laiv and some of her servants. Xena had no idea what they were buying for her, until now she had only understood that she was ignoring the amount of money she was saving.

“Gia, take this for you.” Xena gave a bag of one hundred gold coins to Gia, not losing her mind to spend the money as soon as possible.

“But, Miss the number is very much, I cannot accept it,” reject Gia, she almost fainted seeing the number of gold coins Xena gave her.

“Take it, it's okay. Treat your father's pain with this money, however your father used to be one of my very good servants. It's less, kat—”

Xena panicked when she saw Gia who suddenly shed tears, she was confused as to what was the cause of Gia crying at that time.

“Eehh why are you crying? Is a hundred gold coins still lacking for you? Do I need to add a thousand gold coins?” Panicked Xena asked Gia a series of questions.

Gia wiped her tears immediately, she slowly laughed seeing Xena's frantic reaction, “Nona, you are so funny. One hundred gold coins is too big for a small people like me, with this money I can help my father heal. That's why I cry, not because I'm sad but because I'm happy,”.

“So, happy people can cry too? I think crying is only for sad people,” said Xena nodding.

“Actually where have you lived all this time, Miss? Why don't you know things as easy as that?” Gia wondered, all this time Xena lived in what kind of place? Xena grows up to be a different woman than she is generally.

“I've been spending my time killing people, I don't have time to think about other problems. Where I grew up was not settled, I always moved around looking for a new place. My world looks like hell to an ordinary person like you, Gia, there I act like a god of death who rules the life and death of a person. Sometimes people think I have a heart of stone, all this time I cried only at the time of Alina's death,” said Xena.

Gia increasingly sees the difference between Alina and Xena, if Alina is likened to a soft white rose, while Xena is likened to a black rose. The nature of both is inversely proportional, if Alina is a kind and friendly woman, Xena herself has never been taught how to behave gently like a woman in general.

“It was only then that a slave whom I gave one of those gold coins to prostrate himself crying under my feet, I thought they were crying because they felt the money was lacking, so I increased the number of gold coins, but they even more sobbed to receive additional coins,” continued Xena who remembered the events a few moments ago.

“Sister! I heard you just finished buying a lot of nice clothes and jewelry yes, I came here to see it,” said the orange-haired and blue-eyed girl.

The look on Xena's face changed quickly when she saw Yuliana, to be honest she had only met Yuliana this time after a long time. Yuliana was born when Xena was three years old, at that time her mother had died one year earlier or by the time she and Alina were two years old.

“Then why if I bought? Something wrong?” ketus Xena's.

Yuliana flinched, she had never seen her sister speak in a trenchant tone to her. Just this time he felt the frightening air of the woman standing before him right now, his feelings shrinking instantly intending to spew some insulting words at Xena.

“Nothing wrong, I just want to see what big brother bought.” Yuliana hurriedly ruffled the goods bought by Xena. She took out all the dresses that were still stored in the box, Yuliana lined up one by one the dresses.

“Can I ask for half her dress? Isn't this a lot for a brother? I'm prettier than big brother, so I'm more suited to wearing this dress than big brother.” Yuliana turned her attention to the jewelry, she immediately claimed whatever she would bring home, “I will also ask for half this jewelry, sister is not angry right? Usually big brother never stingy to me.”

“Yuliana, who gave you permission to touch my things?”

Yuliana gasped at Xena's voice, her entire body trembling in fear, Xena's sharp eyes freezing Yuliana.

“B-wasn't I a-sister sister? Supposedly sister allowed it,” stuttered Yuliana.

“Rather than giving my stuff to you, I better give it to Gia. From now on I forbid you to touch my things or to set foot in my palace without my permission. I really hate shameless women like you,” press Xena.

‘It turns out that what Dad said was true, this woman is no longer as easy to fool as she used to be. Usually she would give me her good stuff, even I changed her nice dress with my shabby dress, but now I won't be able to fool her anymore, Yuliana's inner’ was shocked by her sister's change.

“I don't want to know! You have to give me these good things. I'm entitled to your property, where did you get all this? You can become Empress right now thanks to Dad, the item you bought today using the Emperor's money, right? So, indirectly, these items are also mine,” said Yuliana raised her voice out of wrath.

“You turned out to be very stupid, come here let me make your head free from those stupid thoughts.”
