Toxic Empress

A Bad Mood

Xena's face was instantly sour as Derryl shouted at her, she immediately got up and stood before Derryl with a defiant expression. Not forgetting Xena folded both hands on the chest, Derryl successfully triggered Xena's emotions to come out.

“Why are you yelling at me? Is what I said wrong? She's your mom, you take care of it yourself,” cynical Xena.

Brisia was furious, she pushed Xena's shoulder and almost made Xena fall backward. It was fortunate that behind there was Giselle, so she held Xena's body back from falling over, the five subordinates of Xena gave Brisia a piercing look. Brisia's guts suddenly shrieked, he immediately hid behind Derryl's back.

“Supply! How dare you guys look at me sharp like that!” brisia.

Xena was provoked by the emotions of Brisia's behavior, then he pulled Brisia's hand and made her fall to the ground. Derryl immediately helped Brisia who was about to cry because of Xena, Derryl's face reddish with anger with Xena.

“What? You want to be mad at me? It's up to you, I'm dizzy facing people like you two.”

Xena moved away from before Derryl, he nudged Derryl's shoulder as a form of annoyance. Derryl didn't let Xena go, he blocked Xena's wrist from moving any further.

“Let me go! You can't hold me back like this,” ronta Xena.

“I will not let you go, you must come with me because I will teach you a lesson.” Derryl forces Xena to come with him, but Derryl's path is blocked by Xena's five subordinates. They couldn't bear to pretend that they didn't care about Xena, they couldn't bear to let the arbitrary Derryl to Xena.

“Do not make us angry.”

They glared at Derryl together, their killing intent increasing while Derryl was being rude to Xena. They wouldn't let Derryl take Xena any further, so all they did was hold Derryl.

“What's with these lowly people? You're just knights and servants, but you're presumptuously showing me that disgusting look, ” despise Derryl not accepting that Xena's subordinates are holding her back.

Xena couldn't stand it if the people closest to her were insulted like that by others, Xena looked like she was about to explode, she hinted at her five subordinates not to get involved any further against Derryl.

“What did you say? Low-down? But I think you're inferior to them, so please watch your words before I break your collarbone,” snapped Xena.

Derryl was stunned, Xena could compare Derryl who was an Emperor with his subordinate, so that made Derryl's blood boil more. Derryl's mood has deteriorated since Gylda's arrest.

“Did you just compare me to a lowly human like them? You make my anger flutter!”

Derryl held his hand up high, planning to land a slap on Xena as a form of offering her. However, before her hand touched the skin of the cheek, Xena moved to reject Derryl's hand.

“Don't dream of hitting me, you'll die if you do.” Xena looked coldly at Derryl, her gaze pierced Derryl to make Derryl's entire body creep for a moment.

Without waiting for a reply from Derryl, Xena also brought Gia along with her five subordinates to go away from Derryl. Once again Derryl was made unmoved by Xena, there was no one more presumptuous to Derryl than Xena. Derryl's body tensed up after watching Xena's cold expression just now, a gaze that made Derryl sucked into the pit of hell.

‘What's wrong with Alina? He turned into someone else after the disappearance. Now that she makes me look low in front of so many people, is she really Alina? Or was there something that possessed Alina that made her act impudent? I have to take this matter and confirm it myself.’ thought Derryl.

The arrival of Derryl again made Xena's mood damaged, but she took pains to rebuild her upset mood to Xander earlier, but Derryl messed it up again. Xena had to relax in her room, because it was the only place that would not be disturbed by others.

A few minutes later, Gia enters the room with a report that someone has come to see Xena, Xena tells Gia to bring the person in.

“AAHHH ADA LAIV HERE!” The five subordinates of Xena simultaneously shouted when they found Laiv in the same place as them. The five immediately took refuge behind Xena's body so as not to be rested by Laiv.

“Nona, did you tell Laiv to come?” floris asked whispering to Xena.

“No, I didn't tell her to come,” replied Xena.

Laiv did not expect that he would see the five children in the palace, he never imagined they would dare to come to Xena who was busy dealing with the conflict behind the palace walls.

“Oh, it turns out you're all here. You should know what the consequences would be if you left without my permission,” Laiv smiled horribly.

“I did not follow, you just enjoy the sound of Laiv babbling that pierced into the listener,” said Xena avoid the anger Laiv.

Laiv slowly stepped forward nearing the five of them, regardless of what would happen next, they could only rely on him and receive a scolding from Laiv.

“AKKHHH FORGIVE US, LAIV! PLEASE DO NOT LAW US,” beg them spontaneously kneel before Laiv.

Laiv let out a long sigh, to be honest he was at a loss on how to deter them from causing any more trouble.

“You are so angry that you should be punished now, but I didn't. I have a new report that must be informed immediately,” said Laiv.

They breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that, they also intended to immediately rise from that kneeling position.

“Who told you to stand up? Stay on your knees and listen to my explanation,” said Laiv pressured them and did not allow them to change positions.

They complied and went back to their knees in front of Laiv, it felt rather relieved to hear Laiv not punishing them.

“What's up? What do you want to report?” xena asked, sitting on the sofa.

Laiv sat opposite Xena, before handing Xena a box of gold coins.

“Please spend all this money, Miss, we have to reduce the burden of treasure storage warehouse.”

Xena received it with a heavy heart, the money that had previously been given by Laiv was still a lot of rest. Xena is confused to be flanked again the money, all this time she never shop for things that are troublesome.

“Nona, there was an attack on our headquarters,” Laiv reported.

Xena and the other five subordinates gasped in shock at Laiv's report, only this time there was someone who knew the location of the headquarters and dared to openly attack the headquarters of the higanbana assassins. Xena thought for a moment, she had a hunch that there would be bigger things attacking their headquarters later.

“Then how? Is there any info you got from the attacker?”
