Toxic Empress

The Duke Alister Residence

Laiv shook his head, “No, there is a spell of destruction on their bodies, just like Miss Alina's killer. I think that the person who killed Miss Alina and the person who carried out the attack was the same person,”.

Xena nodded her head, she also thought the same thing, until now she still had not found a bright spot about the killer. No matter how many times he thought about or monitored the people in the palace, none of them showed any suspicious gurgles. Even that Queen Mother, she also did not show any strange gestures or lead to murder.

“First of all, we must tighten the guard around the headquarters, lest we be fooled and give them a chance to mess up at the headquarters. I'll stay here and the five of you go back with Laiv to the base, for a while we'll monitor the situation around. Please open your eyes wide, we're not

may be off guard a bit,” Xena command.

“Good, Miss!”

After that, they all did as Xena ordered, although they felt a little sad because they only briefly enjoyed time with Xena, but they had to carry out the decree from Xena. As soon as Xena's room was quiet again, there were no sounds of commotion, it was a pity to have them return to the headquarters just in case.

“Gosh, is palace life really that boring like this?” Xena threw her head on the table, confused about what to do now that there was nothing interesting she felt she needed to do.

“Nona, do you want to drink hot chocolate? Then it looks like Duke Geraldo left a box of chocolate cake here.” Gia shows the box of chocolate cake that Xander brought specifically for Xena. Every time Xander visits Xena, he never forgets to bring Xena a box of Xena's favorite chocolate cake.

Xena's head spontaneously erect hearing Gia bring chocolate cake, indeed the only thing that makes Xena's mood improve is chocolate. In the past while at the headquarters, Laiv always ordered the waiters to stock a lot of chocolate because Xena the chocolate enthusiast often went berserk and only chocolate was able to melt his anger.

“Bring her cake,” pinta Xena, Gia rushed to give the cake to Xena, at least this is what can cheer Xena for now.

Suddenly Xena fell silent and stopped her cake mouthful, there was something she had thought of at that time.

“I haven't been to Alister's residence for a long time, should I go there right now?”

Gia was surprised, Xena's smile looked unusual, it seemed like there was something else Xena was willing to do at Duke Alister's residence. Finally, they decided to go together to the old residence where Xena once grew up. I don't know what kind of plan Xena is going to make and what kind of chaos she's going to create.

Along the way to Duke Alister's residence, they heard the name Gylda everywhere. At that time the empire was so shocked by the news of the assassination carried out by Gylda, no one had ever imagined that Gylda would do such a cruel thing. Xena only smiled as soon as she heard people gossiping while blasphemous words addressed to the Queen Mother.

They arrived at Duke Alister's residence after riding a chariot for fifteen minutes. Xena ruffled her waist in front of the gate while observing the magnificent mansion building and had never changed since before. Xena recalled the bad memories she had lived through during her survival in the mansion. Xena also remembered that in the mansion there were many relics of her late mother. Xena came back to look directly at the relics and brought some that were considered important.

“What kind of surprise is inside? Come on, Gia, we're in now.”

“Based on you lowly slaves! Quickly work all this out to clean!”

“Your lives are lower than ours, so don't fight again.”

Kicks, punches, and insults were obtained by the slaves, they were treated inferior to an animal. Their lives mean nothing more than a street cat, not even others would walk side by side with a slave. The slave level was the lowest, that status was extremely vile and inflicted trauma for their entire lives.

“What are you doing here? Why don't you guys do your part?” reprimand Xena to the female servants.

“Gosh, look who came, we are completely unaware of your arrival, Empress. Then you now pretend to care for these slaves, it is their duty to do slave work,” replied one cynical-faced servant.

“Then what does it mean to be a servant if your responsibility is instead done by a slave? Means your price is lower than a slave,” circus Xena.

The five-man waiter was stunned by Xena's words, they showed no respect for Xena and now they also had the intention to fight Xena.

“Looks like you're getting cocky with that Empress status, did you forget who you were before becoming Empress? You used to be a weak and timid Miss, everyone knows that too. So, don't som—”

Bugh!

Xena did not want to hear any further from the servant, she cut her stomach until she made the servant fly a few meters back.

“I am not a forgiving person and let others live a quiet life after insulting me.”

The servant who was kicked by Xena just now, showed a strange reaction, his entire body suddenly melted and instantly died on the spot. It was Xena's poison that made the servant what he is today. The remaining four servants felt an overwhelming fear after watching their comrades die after getting a kick from Xena.

“Ampuni us, Your Majesty. We admit that we made a big mistake to you, but please don't kill us and give us a chance to make up for it.” At once they prostrate to ask Xena's generosity to forgive their mistakes. However, Xena did not care about their pleas, all Xena had in mind was a shadow of how tortured Alina used to survive in this mansion without protection.

“Ampun? You better save those words to meet the king of hell later!”
