Toxic Empress

Assassin

“Greet His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Permasuri,” Xander said on his knees greeting Derryl and Xena. Xander's gaze looked different to Xena, but Xena chose to pretend not to know and never met Xander.

“Rise, Xander! No need to be so formal with me. I'm glad to hear you've come home from the South after all this time, how are you? Were you okay there?” Derryl's welcome was too friendly and festive for Xander, his relationship with Xander was indeed famous for a long time.

Xander was the son of the first Empress of Duke Geraldo's family. However, due to an incident, the first Empress died, then her position was replaced by Mother Derryl who was then a concubine. Xander was never involved in the seizure of the throne, preferring instead to inherit the title Duke of Geraldo rather than become Emperor.

During his reign as Duke, Xander always settled in the South, rarely returning to the capital. Xander was famous for his bad and cruel attitude, he did not hesitate to cut down all those who dared to offend him. Xena herself had heard about Xander several times, but she never cared about the news, until fate finally brought them together.

“Yes, as you see now. I'm happy to meet sister after so long, it turns out that the Queen's choice of sister is very beautiful yes, I'm worried about the rumors that are circulating saying that Empress Charise is useless. However, after I saw it directly, it was still just a rumor,” Xander said colored by a sinless smile.

Xena knitted her eyebrows together, she disliked Xander from the moment she first met him, a man who casually landed a kiss on the back of her clean hand. It felt that when he remembered that back, Xena wanted to go berserk and scratch Xander's face.

“Hahaha you could have, your mouth seems still sweet as usual. But, Xander, what happened to your handsome face? Did you just finish fighting?” tanya Derryl misfocused with a bruise on Xander's smooth face.

“Yesterday I met a lioness, she went berserk and threw me in the face.” Xander replied while highlighting Xena, since the beginning Xander already knew that the girl who is with Derryl today is Xena – girl who left bruises on her face.

“Handsome face? What is that handsome guy really like?” xena was wondering to herself.

“Like me for example,” replied Derryl accidentally heard Xena's slow muttering. The look on Xena's face immediately turned sour looking at Derryl who was confident in her good looks.

“Cih, if that handsome man is like you, I better not meet a handsome man for the rest of my life,” because Xena grieves bitterly.

Xander overheard him, he stifled with laughter because of Xena's words to Derryl. All this time, only this time did he find a woman who blatantly insulted an Emperor without fear of punishment. Derryl wanted to refute Xena, but she had no power to fight the woman.

“OK, now please enjoy the simple banquet I prepared specially to welcome you. Hope you are satisfied with the meal,” said Derryl, Xander immediately went to enjoy the banquet.

Afterwards, Brisia with her powerful steps approached Derryl, she hugged Derryl tightly. Xena felt that Brisia never looked at her peacefully, she was always angry when Derryl was kind to women other than herself.

“I'm bored, I'll go back to the room first,” said Xena got up from her throne, but Derryl hurriedly held her hand.

“Alina, where are you going? The banquet is not finished, you should be here with me until the banquet is over,” prevent Derryl.

Xena rolled a lazy eyeball, she never liked being on an event like this, too boring in her opinion. Similarly, at that time, Xena did not enjoy the fairly simple banquet.

Derryl could not prevent his move, a triumphant smile rose on Brisia's lips and assumed that he had won from the competition for Derryl. Though Xena herself is not interested in Derryl, rather she is not interested in any man. Want as much as men like it, Xena will never realize that she is being glimpsed by the opposite sex.

Xena only knows how to kill, a romantic feeling that feels too impossible will arise. All of her subordinates knew well what Xena was like, they were astonished by Xena who never felt in love with men.

“I shouldn't have gone there just now, making me sick of seeing that shameless Emperor's face,” grumbled Xena as she walked through the silent passage and began to darken.

Then he sensed the aura of a murderous existence that was quite strong around his residence palace. Xena was forced to pause, when she walked alone because Gia had asked permission to chat longer with her servant friend. Xena scanned around, her gaze circling down every corner of a nearby place. Xena put high vigilance with enemy attacks that might hit him right then and there.

“You guys out! No need to hide anymore because I know you guys must be planning to kill me, right?”

About eight men dressed in black surrounded Xena, intent on killing Xena while the rest of the palace was occupied by a simple banquet. Xena was undaunted even though their numbers were far more, to her this was only a small matter.

“You will not be able to run anywhere because we have surrounded you, you should just leave your life well to us,” said one of the killers.

Xena grinned, in her hand appeared a sword that she made from her poison, the poison sword will immediately devour the lives of the eight assassins.

“I didn't expect you guys to be so brave to bully me, did you realize? If now you're the one who brought your life here!”

Xena swung her poison sword at one of the murderous herds from a distance. The rate of the poison was too fast to make the killer's body blister due to the heat poison emitted by Xena.

“AAKKHHH! S-sick...,” erang killer who was exposed to the poison, all his colleagues were stunned by the ability of Xena poison that works in just seconds.

“What did he just do? But, there is no time for us to be confused now. Let's attack quickly! Just remember, she is only a woman, we need not be afraid of facing her.”

They attacked Xena in succession and simultaneously, but any form of attack, was easily fended off by Xena. An irked feeling was unstoppable, until Xena finally showed them something unusual. Xena jumped up high and stood at the end of the pole with just one foot. Xena's hand took a swing to swing the sword, the large and numerous slashes of poison approaching the assassins one by one.

They had no chance to dodge, Xena's poison managed to hit all of them and they died in the blink of an eye. However, a big problem began to occur, Xena accidentally joined in slashing the palace of her residence until it decayed into shambles. The sound of the collapse of the palace building was heard to the throne room, the ground that shook due to Xena became one of the triggers of panic.

“Sial! It seems that I am less excited, usually the effect of my attacks can destroy this entire palace. Try now I repeat again, which earlier could not be called an attack,” said Xena spoke for himself.

“HEY, ALINA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN THERE? THEN WHAT'S THIS SITUATION?!”
