Toxic Empress

The Queen of Satan

After exiting the grounds of Gylda's palace, Xena rushed back to her palace, her mood deteriorating since then. Xena did not stop babbling cursing those people to die immediately, then when she arrived at the intersection of the hallway, Xena accidentally bumped into a woman.

Bruckk

The pale wavy blonde woman sat down when she was hit by Xena, and Xena hurriedly helped her up. Their eyes intertwined, Xena felt strange as she stared at those maroon-colored eyes. A strange energy flowed profusely in the woman's body, her body weak and powerless. Xena's bead accidentally caught an incision wound on the wrist that was not small in number, immediately the woman covered her hand from Xena.

“Sorry, I'm not senga—”

The woman left before Xena could finish her words, the woman looked strange, even Xena was dumbstruck when she saw her first. Her skin was pale, unusual eye bags, lips were dry, and there was no aura of life from her. Xena dispelled the thought, she decided to resume her stalled steps.

Arriving in the room, his arrival was greeted by Gia who was busy pacing back and forth waiting for Xena to return. Gia was worried that the Queen Mother would do something bad to Xena, but now the worry was in vain, because Xena was safe again, except for her very bad mood.

“Thank God you're back, my heart seems to stop thinking about you going to the palace of the Queen Mother,” said Gia, but Xena did not respond to Gia's thanksgiving, “Nona, did something happen?” tanya Gia broke Xena's daydream.

“Gia, do you know a pale blonde woman?” ask Xena suddenly.

“Pale light? Maybe you mean that Concubine Nidia – child Marquess Baldric that I told you yesterday,” replied Gia, “What's the matter, Miss? Did you meet him earlier?” ask Gia later.

“So I accidentally hit him at the intersection of the hallway, so I asked you. How does this relate to Alina?”

Gia thought for a moment before answering Xena's question, “I think she is the only concubine who did not make contact with the Empress, even she had never been in contact with other concubines. Consorts Nidia only languished in his room, the Emperor himself was surprised because he was the only concubine who refused to meet the Emperor and meet the crowd,” explained Gia.

Xena started to feel that there was something unnatural about Nidia, the aura she felt from Nidia's body was not an ordinary aura.

‘I had to find out about the woman even more deeply, I felt something unpleasant about her. I don't know what it is, but Nidia's definitely not an indiscriminate woman, even though she looks like an anti-social woman, I still have to watch out for her because threats don't always come from brash people like the Queen Mother. Sometimes a plain-faced human is also suspect, Xena's inner’.

After that, Xena asked Gia to prepare a meal for her, while Gia went to the kitchen to pick up some food, Xena laid down for a moment on the bed. His mind glared at the ceiling of the room, his brain filled with various assumptions about Alina's death, suddenly in between the busyness of the thought flashed Xander's handsome face on his head.

“Where is the man? Normally he would bring himself up in front of me, was he sick? Why am I thinking about it? It's just nice he doesn't see me anymore.” Xena was silent for a while, “I'm still curious, who is that guy exactly? He spoke and looked at me like someone who had known me for a long time, had I ever met him? If so, when did I meet him? What was in his previous life? Aiss where there might be such a mythical thing.”

Xena dismisses all thoughts related to Xander, she rejects the fact about him who began to pay attention to Xander. His usual nature of love sometimes makes the surrounding humans become somewhat anxious if later Xena can not marry for life.

“I'll take a nap to rest my mind.”

At that time Xena immediately fell asleep before Gia returned to bring the food she asked for, as a result Xena did not eat until dinner came. Tonight the crescent moon looks foreign, the color of the light emitted is not bright white, but dark white. It was as if there was no beauty in the crescent moon, as if the bright light was blocked by something. Xena woke up from her head throbbing violently, the pain stabbing her head slowly. Xena tries to get off the bed and calls Gia, but her voice is held back from coming out.

Xena turned towards the window, the crescent moonlight was like it was calling out to her, unknowingly Xena finally jumped out through the window. The look in his eyes of the firefly, the longer he saw the illusion of his death. Xena was sitting limp while holding her head, the illusion became clearer, the illusion where Xena saw in front of her was a dead man in the arms of a stranger. The man cried and blamed himself for his death, on the chest of Xena who died stuck a blue sword like Xander's sword.

“That's Xander? Why is the illusion so real? What is this exactly?”

Then Xena heard a creepy sound, the sound was getting closer and closer to hearing. The moonlight was directed at her alone, a black shadow mixed with violet light approaching Xena's helpless body.

“Xena, my dear, come here! Come to me, I'll take you home to our home.”

The words repeatedly pierced Xena's hearing, an unbearable pain as if trying to numb herself. Xena inched backwards away from the black shadow, for some reason a sense of danger came from that shadow.

“Who are you? Get the fuck out of here! Don't come near me, you disgusting creature!” xena said, he tried to take out a poison attack from his fingers, but his power was suppressed from within by the shadow.

“Did you forget about me? It's me – men you used to love, I came to pick you up to go with me. Let's go home together, baby.”

“AAARRRGHHHHH!!” Xena screamed painfully, her screaming voice could not be heard by anyone else at that time, there was only her there with excruciating pain.

The shadow was about to touch his head, but a sword darted sharply obliterating half of the shadow's body.

“I WON'T LET YOU BRING XENA!”

The voice of a familiar man resounded shouting at the shadow, Xena faintly looked at Xander standing in front of her. Xander looked extremely angry and fiery with emotion, his blue sword enveloped by the purple flames. However, Xander's condition was not in a good state, the tightness and pain in the chest was still left. Xander who felt Xena was in a dangerous situation immediately came even though his body was also holding back pain.

“Xander, you always get in the way of my plans. Xena is mine! You'd better get out of the way now before I make you die in my hands,” snapping that shadow.

“Xena my wife! I'm not going to hand it over to a heartless man like you,” Xander said.

“I am not a patient creature, quickly go from my sight! Don't ever come to me to bring Xena!”

Xander bit his lower lip, he had been determined to protect Xena to the end even though it meant that he had to sacrifice his own life.

“No I will let you make Xena the container of the Queen of Satan! Step over my body first if you insist on bringing Xena.”
