Toxic Empress

Another Attack

The next day, Derryl spread the leaflets to every point of the empire, the leaflets were about who found Klaus the doctor of death, and he was rewarded with a huge sum of money. This makes everyone nervous, the amount of money offered is not playing around the amount. Xena who was still in the inn chuckled loudly at the leaflet.

“Hahaha how funny, they want to see Klaus? It seems you're out of luck, Derryl. Klaus is my subordinate, he will not move before taking orders from me, moreover the poison that attacked you was my work. Just enjoy your suffering for a while until I finally come like a hero and pretend to save you.”

Gia was astonished to see Xena chuckling alone on the edge of her bed. Gia already knew Xena's reason, that Xena deliberately put the poison into Derryl's body. Xena plans to pretend to be a misfortune hero to cure the poison in Derryl's body, she wants Derryl to fall into her charms. Xena wants to lure out the mastermind of Alina's murder who is allegedly the one from the palace as well, so first she must get Derryl trapped in Xena's extraordinary allure.

“Nona, since yesterday people have also been excited about the nobles who were terrorized by the famous higanbana killer. What do you think you've been in the higanbana killer group all this time, Miss?” gia asked curiously all of a sudden.

“I haven't told you? I'm the leader of that group of assassins, now I have about two hundred subordinates.”

“Hahh? WHATAAA?? A-a-you s-seriously, Miss?” Gia was shocked instead of playing, her gaped mouth made Xena giggle small.

“Yes, the group of homanbana killers are mysterious killers, no one knows our faces because every time we kill people, we deliberately cover our faces so that they are not recognized by others. You also know for yourself now the whole world is looking for our whereabouts, but no one can prove our whereabouts. So, you are the lucky one to meet me – leaders of the most famous assassin group,” Xena said proudly.

Whether this was a stroke of luck or misfortune for Gia who was just an ordinary person and did not have any special power in her, she would obviously follow wherever Xena stepped. He no longer wanted to lose after Alina, because it was too painful to lose someone who was with him long ago.

‘Hopefully I don't go crazy like Miss,’ Inner Gia.

After that, Xena asked Gia for permission to go for a walk for a moment to let go of the feeling of affection. Gia is not allowed to come, because Xena is aware of a killer who is after her again. Along the way Xena heard various unique stories about the ugliness of the nobles, not least Xena also witnessed many slaves wandering with her master.

Xena was concerned about the fate of slaves who were mistreated by their own owners. As is known, the world is too thick with the system of slavery, everyone has a slave for them to keep like an animal. There was no justice for the slaves, even the death of slaves was considered ordinary. Not a few people throw the bodies of deceased slaves into the abyss or into the forest.

‘The world is increasingly chaotic by the slavery system, there is no longer a human price in the eyes of other humans.’

Xena licked the chocolate-flavored ice cream she had just bought, then she decided to sit on the bench of the city park. The atmosphere in this park is more peaceful, far from the crowd, and only filled with children's laughter.

“How quiet is it today, it has been a long time since I last relaxed alone.”

While enjoying ice cream, Xander suddenly appears behind Xena's back. Slowly Xander brought his face to Xena's side, wanting to surprise Xena for her arrival.

“What are you doing here alone?” whispered Xander.

“KYAAAAA!” peekuk Xena surprised by surprise, ice cream that he had not had time to spend ended up falling on the ground, “Es my cream...my poor ice cream, even though I still want to enjoy you longer.”.

“You are very—”

“Why do you always show up in front of me?! I don't like you! Quickly replace my ice cream double! I don't want to know, you have to change that!” nagging Xena grumbled in annoyance.

“Huh? What the hell did you just do? YES YOU ARE, BASIC MES*M!” Xena once again punched Xander in the cheek and made him roll under her feet. Tonjokan Xena apparently did not make Xander deterred, he continued to rise while displaying a distinctive smile on his handsome face. As a result of Xena's shout, dozens of foreign views centered towards the two of them.

“Your yesterday's blow still hasn't healed, but now you're hitting me again.”

Xena was stunned, she had just forgotten that she was currently disguised as Alina and not as Xena. As soon as Xena turned her face away, she pretended not to hear what Xander said.

“I'm leaving now, and don't you follow me!” Xena breezed away from Xander, somehow every time she saw Xander she was reminded of the night he fell from the roof, and it made her upset.

Xander did not obey Xena, he insisted on following Xena from behind, so Xena had to stop her steps.

“Why are you following me? You can't hear what I just said?! I told you, don't follow me!” xena pointed at Xander.

“I just want to replace your ice cream that had fallen because of me,” said Xander.

“Alright, buy me three chocolate ice cream. I don't want less than three, after which you stop following me, okay?”

“Oke.”

Xander and Xena go hand in hand to the ice cream shop, as agreed, Xander buys Xena three chocolate ice creams for her. Xena's expression excitedly looked at her hands that were filled with ice cream.

“Please hold.” Xena asks Xander to hold two ice creams, because Xena wants to have trouble holding three.

“Didn't you just say I can't follow you anymore?” ask Xander.

“Sstt just shut up! Consider it a punishment for you, so please take me to the front alley,” pinta Xena, Xander looks very happy to be alone with Xena even if only a few minutes.

Upon their arrival in the alley meant by Xena, there was a feeling of discomfort. The alley passed by the two was very quiet people passing by, Xander stopped his steps and circulated his gaze around. Then on all the different sides appeared arrows that shot towards Xena.

“AWAS, XENA!” Xander threw the ice cream he was holding, quickly he hugged Xena and smashed all the arrows using his blue sword.

“Xena, are you okay saj—”

“AAAKHHH! MY POOR ICE CREAM... WHY DID IT HAVE TO FALL AGAIN?!”
