All eyes were on Xena's arrival, the red dress she wore was filled with dirt stains, bloodied legs, and tangled and messy hair. All the nobles present instantly moved away from Xena, even Derryl and Brisia were aghast at the arrival of Xena who was like a madman. Suddenly the knights blocked Xena's move, they forbade Xena from entering into the throne room.
“Sorry, Your Grace. Right now His Majesty the Emperor is holding an important meeting with the nobles. You are prohibited from entering because you will only interfere with the meeting,” said one of the knights presumptuously and without fear.
“So you guys underestimated me? Though I am the Empress, but how dare you treat me like a lowly person.”
Xena was shrouded in anger, her facial expression turned cold, at this moment she was not wanting to be disturbed. Xena tried to circulate a glance, people started whispering badly about her while raising contemptuous gazes.
‘So, this is what Alina has always faced? Just imagining it makes my chest tight.’
Then a knight pointed a sharp sword in front of Xena's face, no one really treated Xena as Empress.
“Quick get out of here, Your Majesty! You do not make the nobles have no appetite because there you are here.”
Xena sighed, then she kicked the stomach of the knight who spoke presumptuously to her making the knight flung far back. The other three knights got the same thing, they were also kicked and knocked very far away. Xena's kick power is not kidding, even Laiv just admitted that one of the strongest weapons in Xena's body is his kick.
“You're making me sick.”
The nobles who were stiffly shocked to see what had just happened, Xena who was currently disguised as Alina completely changed Alina's true character. Derryl was rendered speechless, seeing Xena make a flow of foreign feelings flow freely in her feelings unconsciously. She did not blink looking at Xena, Brisia pursed her lips because she did not like it when Derryl paid attention to Xena.
‘Is she the Alina I know? Why does he look different today? Usually he was always silent and lowered his head when in front of many people. Her nature like that made me hate her, she couldn't even look more attractive, but look at her now, without even dressing up she looked dazzling, Derryl's inner’ flashed her smile, but soon he shook off all those thoughts before drifting himself too far away.
Xena stepped slowly to get closer to Derryl, she wanted to see clearly the man who had her sister devastated in her suffering. Xena ruffled her waist while looking at Derryl's anger, not a single person dared to reprimand Xena.
“Hey, you're the Emperor! I've been missing for four days and you're not even looking for me at all. Really yeah you just pissed me off, and now you're throwing a party without me. Moreover, you are as fond of making out with a lowly concubine like her, aren't you ashamed of your status as Emperor?” namel Xena while visiting Brisia.
The entire room was agape by Xena who scolded Derryl, all this time no one dared to speak as bluntly as Xena.
“Alina, you're getting brave right now to humiliate me, were you possessed by a crazy genie when it disappeared to make you what you are now?” reply Derryl with a furious look.
“Jin crazy? I don't think that's possible, I'm crazy because of you! You fucking lunatic! Regret me being your Empress,” said Xena blatantly without being filtered first.
“Your mouth is getting smarter just talking, do you know the consequences if it makes me angry? Okay, I'll forget your humiliation just now. It doesn't matter either, I'm not offended at all, but still you have to I'm legal.”
Derryl grinned, Xena was suspicious of Derryl's words, rightly suspicious that Derry would do something to her. Derryl took Xena's body into his arms, brought her face closer and was about to land a kiss on Xena's lips. However, before Derry launched the action, Xena first slapped Derryl's face.
“BASIC YOU MES*M! HOW DARE YOU KISS ME WITH THE LIPS OF THAT LOWLY CONCUBINE! I DON'T WANT TO YES UNTIL I CONTRACT A DISGUSTING GERMS,” Yelled Xena annoyed.
Derryl pushed back due to Xena's powerful slap, Brisia instantly put herself up against Xena.
“Why are you so insolent to His Majesty? Aren't you afraid of being put to death for insulting the Emperor? You seem to need me to teach you a lesson to be aware.”
Brisia raised her hand high, as she intended to slap Xena in return for slapping Derryl. However, when the slap was thrown, Xena moved to the side, she avoided the slap until Brisia fell on the red carpet.
“What are you doing, lowly woman? Did you just beg my forgiveness? But I don't want to forgive you. So, quickly stand up before your knees are chafed from kneeling too long on the rough carpet. Will you not serve the beloved Emperor? Too bad if your knees are chafed, later your wobble becomes less steady.”
Brisia's face flushed in embarrassment, her pride as the Emperor's favorite concubine being injured due to Xena's treatment which was very different from usual. The nobles also laughed at Brisia, unable to hold back tears because of the embarrassment she was getting at this time. Derryl rushed to help Brisia to stand up, with Brisia crying and complaining to Derryl.
“Your Majesty, this woman humiliated me, even though I only meant to reprimand her,” the Brisia shootout sobbed in Derryl's arms.
“Cih, you just cried. It is basically you who are spoiled and like to complain to your beloved Emperor.” Xena was grieving that she had to face a woman like Brisia.
While Derryl calmed Brisia down, Xena turned her body and headed towards the table containing a wide variety of delicious dishes. Xena picked up some snacks, then she approached the sluggishly bowed slaves beside her master.
“You guys didn't feed them? You think that slave isn't human? Look at their bodies covered in wounds. Really yes you guys, the status alone is noble but can not feed the slaves you bought in the slave market,” circus Xena, Xena, he distributed the luxurious food he brought to each of the slaves.
“Sorry, Your Grace. We do not deserve this very fancy food.” The slaves refused to accept the food offered by Xena.
“Your Majesty, you should not interfere too much with this slave problem, they are only slaves. Even if we do not give food, it does not mean they will die quickly.”
