Toxic Empress

Sorry Gia

The nobles laughed together, they did not have the slightest heart of treating a human being inferior to an animal. Xena was concerned to see the slaves who had thin bodies, pale faces, and bodies that did not have more energy to move further. They were forced to do what the master asked them to do, and if they refused, they would be tortured. In this world no one cares about the fate of slaves, even if they die from being killed, there will be no punishment for the perpetrators.

Xena started to get on the blackboard, she kicked the lower chin of the noble who dared to say her words earlier. The noble body was made to go high and his head was stuck on a hanging lamp. The whole person fell silent again, Xena's eyes were filled with sparks of anger.

“I will teach you one thing, whose name is man you should be treated well. I would hate to see someone careless to their slaves, I know that you buy them with your own money, but at least treat them as normal as humans in general. If I hear about Chariste nobles who treat slaves badly, then I make sure your heads will be the main meal of wild animals,” snapped Xena.

The slaves felt amazed and moved because Xena defended them blatantly, never in their lifetime had they found anyone who saw them like humans. Then Xena forces them to eat the food that is on the table, Xena assures themselves they will not be beaten by their respective employers. The slaves rushed to fetch the food and drinks available in the room.

Derryl was again taken aback by Xena's fearless attitude, Xena's temperament was indeed beyond bounds. Laiv always complained about Xena's temperamental attitude, she struggled whenever she pressured Xena to refrain from getting angry. Charise Empire managed to get into the trap of Xena's temperament, I don't know what bad things would happen in this place if Xena was left to stay there for too long.

“Your Majesty! I think you've gone too far! How can And—”

The sentence of one of the nobles paused, he intended to protest to Xena, but was first broken by the sharp look of his eyes.

“You want to protest? If you dare to protest me, I will make your fate more miserable than theirs! Just be careful if you dare to torture these slaves again, I will not hesitate to kill you. Camn it! Just remember my eyes are everywhere,” threatened Xena.

Xena turned her body, she intended to go to Alina's residence palace, but she did not know where her palace was located. Xena was eventually forced to pull a female servant by force to deliver her to Alina's palace. The atmosphere of the throne room was very different since Xena came.

‘That woman really turned crazy, did not-don't her head have problems from disappearing yesterday?’ thought Derryl was shaking.

A frightened female servant was forcefully pulled by Xena, all the way to the palace of the Empress's residence, Xena unceasingly clucked, glared, and grumbled as along the hall the servants looked at her strangely. Until finally Xena arrived at a palace that is located remote from the main palace. The appearance of his palace from the outside was very uninhabitable, the impression of horror was more pronounced, and the journey into his room was also very dark.

“Hey! Why do I live in a place of horror like this? Was the Emperor unwilling to give me a more livable palace?” ask Xena ketus.

The female servant stiffened as Xena asked her, her head moving stiffly towards Xena. First he thought of the right words before answering Xena's question, because he was afraid of being wrongly answered and was instead slapped by Xena.

“The palace where you used to live, was taken over by the concubine of Brisia, this palace is the only one left to live in. Hence the Emperor put you here, you should have known about this already, Your Majesty,” replied the servant in a gentle and polite voice.

Then they arrived in front of Alina's room first, the maid immediately resigned after delivering Xena. Xena's breath sounded rude, she really hated Alina's life which clearly seemed to be treated unfairly by the Emperor. Xena who was furious immediately kicked the entrance to the room, immediately she stared at the condition of her room that had a lot of damage everywhere.

“Brengs*k! That fucking guy I should've just stepped on his face. How dare he put Alina in an ugly room like this! Should I go back to the throne room again to step on her face? Ahh no need, just wasting my energy.”

Xena rambled while checking one by one the contents of Alina's room, she did not find any valuables there. There is only shabby jewelry to dresses that are outdated, even the bedding alone is very unsightly. As Xena was opening the other closet doors, she was surprised to find a girl whose familiar face was tied and her mouth gagged with a cloth. Xena immediately pulled the girl out of the closet, her condition was now half conscious.

“Are you dying? Don't die yet! Quickly wake up!” xena said as she patted the girl on the cheek while releasing the rope that tied her body.

Then Xena grabbed a glass of water located on the table and gave it to the girl. Slowly the girl opened her eyes, she found Xena right in front of her eyes, she immediately sat down. The dark blue-haired girl clutched Xena with tears flowing from her brown eyes pupils.

“Your Highness, thank goodness you're okay. I'm so worried because you were taken away by the kidnapper, they kept me in the closet. I thought I was going to die, but luckily you came back sooner,” said the girl crying as she pleased.

“Gia, I'm not Alina.”

The girl named Gia immediately let go of her embrace, she took a good look at the face of the woman before her. Gia realized that it was Xena's face, she was very easy to recognize the difference in Xena and Alina's face.

“Nona Xena? Why can you be here? Then where is Empress Alina?” asked Gia astonished to see Xena was in the palace, as far as Xena had long never set foot in Charise.

“It turns out you still remember me yes, Gia.”

“Of course I still remember you, I'm from childhood with you and the Empress.”

Gia is Alina's personal servant, Gia's parents used to work as servants at Alina and Xena's residence. Inadvertently, Gia gets along with the two of them so ends up being Alina's personal servant.

“I'm sorry, Gia. Alina is dead.”
