Toxic Empress

Xander's Rage

At this time at the residence of Marquess Andros there was a small commotion due to the engagement letter sent by Xander. Marquess Andros was so emotional to see the letter, she broke it down and then threw the letter in front of Luisa – daughter. Though all this time he took pains to persuade Derryl to agree to an engagement between Xander and Luisa, but ultimately he received insults like this. Luisa looked down in fear, there was no power for her to look back at the eyes of the father who was burning with anger.

“Basic useless child! How many times do I have to tell you? You're gonna have to tease that guy, if you can get him pregnant! Why can't you be relied on for such a small thing?! In vain I plead with the Emperor to make you his fiancee. Tell me, Luisa! What did you do until the man sent the engagement cancellation letter?”

Luisa seemed hesitant to answer him, the uneasiness in the heart increasingly controlled himself, to reduce the anxiety he squeezed his fingers while thinking what kind of explanation he should throw to Marquess Andros.

“Dad, Xander loves another woman, she rejected me expressly in the name of love for that woman. I've tried my hardest to get Xander out, but I'm not kunj—”

PRAANGGGS!

The brown-haired middle-aged man threw the glass towards Luisa, fortunately the glass glass floated to the side of her face and did not hit her body. Luisa instantly trembled and was engulfed by an overwhelming fear of tightness. Luisa knew how terrifying Marquess Andros was when it went berserk.

“Love other women? DON'T LIE TO YOU!” shouted Marquess Andros, “Where might the polar man fall in love, are you trying to lie to me?!” the Marquess of Andros strongly objected.

“I'm not lying, Dad. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xander directly, why would I lie? Besides I also want Xander to be my husband, I also want to be a Duchess,” Luisa said with trembling hands and voice.

“Alright, let's go to his residence, if you are proven to be lying to me, just be prepared because I won't let you sleep for a week,” Marquess Andros threatened.

Marquess Andros passed away from before Luisa's eyes, Luisa's knees were limp and barely able to support her body weight. However, he had to force himself to walk following Marquess Andros towards Xander's residence. While on the way, Marquess Andros unceasingly blamed Luisa for the cancellation of the engagement.

‘I'm sure Dad will torture me when he comes back, what should I do? I'm afraid,’ Inner Luisa.

Upon arrival at Xander's mansion, the arrival of Marquess Andros was coldly welcomed by the occupants of the mansion. Right next to the mansion, it was undergoing the construction of a museum as said by Xander yesterday. Some witches, specially paid by Xander for a great price just to set up a simple museum.

“What are you here for, Marquess?” ask Garvin.

“I want to meet with Duke, please call him immediately!” the Marquess Andros.

“Sorry, but Your Majesty is being undisturbed right now, please come back and make an appointment with Your Majesty.” Garvin refuses and subtly banishes Marquess Andros, as Xander has advised him not to allow the two of them to enter to see him.

“How dare you reject me! Whereas you're just a lowly secretary, how does Duke Geraldo educate his subordinates? Very presumptuous to speak to a noble like me.” The angry Marquess Andros pointed Garvin in the face while saying demeaning and insulting Garvin's status as Xander's personal secretary.

Garvin's expression looked sour, all this time he most disliked to hear someone blame Xander who was said not to be good at educating subordinates. It felt like Garvin wanted to pry the eyes of Marquess Andros who glared at him since then.

“You are absolutely not allowed to enter, Marquess. Your Highness is working, you are not allowed to g—”

Marquess Andros rammed Garvin's shoulder violently, not wanting to hear anything Garvin said to him. Marquess Andros rushed towards Xander's study, Garvin could only sigh.

“May you not be killed by His Majesty,” murmured Garvin.

Since returning from the outside last night, Xander's mood had deteriorated, even Garvin had not counted how many times he had been scolded by her this morning. Then Marquess Andros with Luisa came to add chaos in the mood of Xander who was oscillating irregularly. Marquess Andros walked into Xander's study without knocking on the door or saying an excuse. Xander who was focused with a pile of documents on the table, was forced to turn his eyes towards the arrival of Marquess Andros and Luisa.

“Your Majesty! What do you mean sending an engagement cancellation letter to my residence? You kidding? You want to insult me? What else was my daughter's lack for you until you could have dumped her?” marquess Andros asked.

Xander put his pen down for a moment, he looked at Marquess Andros with a piercing look.

“Who let you into my room? Didn't you hear my secretary that I didn't want to be bullied?”

Marquess Andros and Luisa were stunned instantly at Xander's cold expression, the aura released by Xander making the two feel suffocated. Even at times like this, Xander ignored the formal language used for fellow nobles.

“M-sorry, Your Grace. I'm just I-want to know the reason why you canceled this engagement,” nervous Marquess Andros, now they both can't afford to stare fixed Xander's eyes.

“Didn't I have confirmed it to your daughter? I have someone in my heart, and your son won't be able to compete with him. Beautiful woman with a thousand abilities will not lose to your stupid daughter and only smart in flirting.”

Netra violet Xander was getting cold, her hands were itching to slash the heads of the two people, but she pressed herself so as not to be inedible with emotions.

“What? You insulted my daughter? Was that lowly woman really not on the same level as Luisa? You must not make up, Your Majesty, for as long as I know you have never been close to any woman. Even before you were engaged to Luisa, you were rumored to like the same-sex. You lied to cancel this engagement, didn't you?” the Marquess Andros did not accept the honest reason of Xander.

BRAKKK!

Xander kicked down his workbench, the violet bead emitting a murderous aura so powerful that it made Marquess Andros unable to dwell any further.

“What did you say just now? Lowly woman? YOU'RE SAYING MY WIFE IS A LOWLY WOMAN? HOW SASSY OF YOUR MOUTH!” amuk Xander, the sound of Xander's tantrums reaching Garvin's ears, immediately he ran to see what was going on.

“Wife? You are not married yet, how does the story say you have a wife?” Marquess Andros with a trembling voice was still able to answer Xander's words.

“Looks like you can't be allowed to live any longer.”
