Toxic Empress

Queen Mother

They urge Carian to tell everything from the beginning, Search is being searched with even more questions, even he is not given space to answer. It's a normal situation, they all love Xena so much, which is why their behavior tends to be overprotective to Xena. They never let anyone else live after insulting Xena, they also always stalk Xena wherever they go to ensure Xena's safety.

“Nona is okay, it's just that time I saw a slap and wound on Miss's forehead, when I asked her servant it was caused by Emperor Charise,” replied Carian.

“What did you say?”

They returned noisily, all this time no one dared to throw a slap or blow at Xena. Their anger was triggered by the report from Carian just now, the killing impulse was growing in them.

“How dare he injure Miss, beware that I will make the damn Emperor as my guinea pig,” growled Klaus while brandishing his scalpel.

“Head free,” said Giselle with a flat and cold expression.

“I will make his body destroyed with my chain,” added Floris.

“I should have come yesterday to Charise, let me kill the Emperor,” Elinor said as she stuck the tip of her umbrella to the ground.

Search exhaled rough breath, his reaction fitting knowing this is also the same as his partner. It felt like at that time he wanted to destroy Charise, but he discouraged the intention to not interfere with Xena's plan.

“Originally you know, there is a strange man who approached Miss and called Miss with the name of wife,” said Search no less make them shocked.

“Wife? Is Miss married without our knowledge?” wonder Elinor.

“Which is possible, you know for yourself Miss does not understand about romance, even Miss alone does not know what a handsome man looks like.Women as cold, cruel, and as angry as Miss will not be easily made to fall in love, she said,” refute Floris.

“Keep that aside first, aren't you guys thinking of sneaking into Charise and being next to Miss all the time? So, if there are things like that, we just slaughtered,” Klaus' proposal was taken by them.

“But, do not get caught by Laiv, we can later be fried in hot oil,” said Carian shudder in horror.

They were very wary of Laiv's anger, all this time they were most afraid if Laiv was angry with them. Xena never scolded them, only that Laiv acted otherwise, if they caused a commotion then it was certain that they would be the target of Laiv's anger.

“True, we can't be caught by Laiv. Remembering his angry expression immediately made my hair stand up,” said Elinor.

“Oke, agreed yes? We will sneak together to Charise, the person who dared to hurt Miss must be exterminated as soon as possible.”

...***...

After Xena managed to neutralize the poison that spread in Derryl's body, she returned to live in the palace. However, his residence palace had not been completed beyond repair, his condition was still the same as the one he had left behind. Then Derryl asked the servant to deliver Xena to the empty palace, the distance of the palace was not far from the palace of Derryl's residence.

“Actually, Miss, six out of eight Emperor concubines are having psychiatric problems, the doctor explained there is nothing unusual about them. However, over time they are like suffering from mental disorders so that the Emperor shut them in their respective homes so that their madness does not hurt others,” explained Gia.

“Any once can be affected by mental disorders simultaneously, it seems there is a mastermind of their madness. Where is the other concubine? Is he still alive?” ask Xena again.

“Still, Miss, her name is Nidia – son of Marquess Baldric. The family of Marquess Baldric has long been bankrupt, so the princess only wayangnya put into the palace harem,” replied Gia.

Xena nodded her head, more or less she now knew about the core situation of this palace. Then suddenly a female servant came knocking on the door to meet Xena.

“Sorry, Your Majesty, I was ordered by the Queen Mother to take you to her palace. Please get ready quickly,” said the waiter.

Xena looked towards Gia, “Hey, Gia! The Queen Mother meant the previous Empress, right? The woman who once refused to give justice from my mother's death.”

“True, she was the Empress who used to incite the Emperor not to investigate your Mother's death, whereas your grandfather had already pleaded under the Emperor's feet but no results were obtained. Your grandfather finally came home with disappointment, it is inconceivable to break the heart of Your grandfather at that time.”

Xena clenched her hands, she had never met the Queen Mother directly, but she had a grudge affair that had not been fully resolved.

“How was the treatment to Alina all this time?” Xena's jaw stiffened instantly, Gia looked reluctant to answer him, “What's wrong? Just tell me, let's quickly say!” insist Xena.

“The Empress was publicly humiliated several times by the Queen Mother, not only once twice the Empress was treated harshly. Sometimes when returning from the Queen Mother's residence, the Empress's face must have brought home a slap. I never saw it happen directly, because the Empress forbade me to go to see the Queen Mother,” explained Gia.

Xena's anger almost enslaved, all this time she didn't know anything about Alina's suffering. How tight Xena's chest imagines if he who is in the position of Alina, cross a small feeling of guilt against his twin.

“Alright, I'll make the Queen Mother suffer, how dare she hurt Alina, just be careful I won't forgive her,” grumbled Xena.

After that, Gia helped Xena to get ready, several times a sigh rang out from Xena. Actually, at this time she wants to take off her dress, from the first she never polishes herself wearing a dress. It was just that for the sake of this revenge, he was willing to do so despite being uncomfortable.

The location of the Queen Mother's palace is a little far from the palace of her residence, it is necessary to pass through several aisles to get there. The palace of the Queen Mother's residence is more beautiful than her shadow, many beautiful flowers that grow in bloom. When she had just stepped in her palace courtyard, Xena smelled as fragrant as the flowers. The Queen Mother was in the back of the palace courtyard with several female nobles who were also gathered with her.

Xena came to the Queen Mother with graceful steps, she bowed her body to greet the Queen Mother.

“Greetings to Her Majesty Queen Mother,” said Xena re-enforcing the body.

However, having just come, Xena had received an unpleasant treatment from the Queen Mother. The dark blue haired woman in her 50s ignored the greetings from Xena, not even allowing Xena to sit down. The noble lady present at that time also showed an insulting expression.

“Are you not going to tell me to sit down? Okay, no big deal, I'll just sit down without you telling me to. It sucks that you old woman, have ordered me here, but you deliberately ignored me.”
