Toxic Empress

Xena Adjudicate

Xena was silent for a long time, her face looked not okay, now Xena was stunned to stare at the note written by the mother. The fact that he and Alina were not Adolph's children gave a shock to his soul. His suffering as well as Alina ended up in vain at the hands of Adolph, even Xena's killing intent had been stirred up. The flames in his heart blazing self-immolated, a terrifying aura slowly enveloping Xena's body.

Gia just stared at Xena, she had no idea what Xena found on the white strand. However, Gia also can't bother Xena who is wrapped in anger, Gia hopes that Xena will soon be aware of baseless daydreams. Suddenly, in the midst of Xena's anger, a group of knights came to the room. They entered without knocking on the door or saying an excuse, it made Xena wake up from her daydream.

“Your Highness, please come with us soon.” Two knights pulled Xena's hand to come with them.

They pulled Xena's hand forcefully, then Xena jerked her hand while giving a piercing look to the entire knight.

“Don't touch me! I can walk by myself. Say it! Where am I going now? To the throne room?”

Xena's mood was at its worst, she kept the knights unmoved when she wanted to take him to the throne room. The sound of Xena stomping her feet outside the room was not friendly at all. The knights followed Xena from behind, if they dared to offend Xena, then it was the same as them taking their own lives at the death gate. Gia follows Xena to the throne room where Derryl is currently.

Upon arrival in the throne room, it turned out that there had gathered many nobles including Adolph and Merry who were in a wheelchair. The two of them have not fully recovered, but they want to demand justice on Derryl for the actions of Xena who almost killed them. Then on the throne sat Derryl accompanied by Brisia, the beloved concubine Derryl was sitting on the throne chair of the Empress. Though it was against the rules, but no one dared to reprimand him. Then the thing that most disturbed Xena's eyes was the existence of the slaves, their lethargic, pale, and powerless faces made Xena feel both sad and pity.

Yuliana and Chayton – Xena's half-sister and Yuliana's older sister or rather Adolph and Merry's first child, they were also there to witness what kind of punishment Xena would receive. This was the first time Xena had seen Chayton's look after ten years of being together. Chayton's similar appearance to Adolph further fosters Xena's hatred for him. The memory of Chayton's brazen and arbitrary attitude to him still sticks clearly in the memory. Realizing Xena was looking at him, Chayton waved his hand while smiling innocently.

“Baj*ngan!” as Xena was very slow.

Xena's body was pressed down and forced to kneel before Derryl, Derryl's face stared coldly at Xena, while Xena just lowered her head while biting her lower lip. Brisia's expression seemed to be greatly enjoying the sight, she felt that she had won a landslide victory over Xena.

“Empress, do you know why you were called here?” ask Derryl.

Xena grinned and then straightened her face with a straight look at Derryl. The noisy atmosphere of the throne room turned silent as Derryl asked Xena a question.

‘Answers, jal*ng! I hope your position as Empress is demoted and let me rise to become the next Empress, Inner’ of Brisia.

Inexplicable fear and worry on Xena's face, she just thought of death how she would present to each of the people who were there.

“You already know, but why are you asking me again?” reply Xena.

“Supply! How could an Empress behave like that towards the imperial sun?”

“Basic killer! Your former existence is like a ghost, but now it attacks the family who clearly loves you wholeheartedly!”

“Women don't know themselves! Just die you rather than live to the detriment of your own family!”

Xena was reaping the words of the nobles, the rowdy atmosphere was colored by the harsh words that were thrown from their mouths. Among the most who told Xena to plunge and die in the ravine. The existence of Xena is really nothing, they have never appreciated Alina or Xena.

“Hey, biad*b man, why don't you guys just die?”

Those who cursed Xena instantly closed their mouths, Xena was too terrifying in their eyes. The pouncing gaze really swallowed their courage all out, now Xena looked more like a ferocious beast preparing to pounce on prey. Even Derryl was also made to shut up, his voice choked when watching Xena's rage.

“Now you are turning around to bully the nobles who are defending us!” yuliana exclaimed, her voice breaking the atmosphere of the throne room. He pointed towards Xena so that everyone would come back to judge Xena.

“And Father and Mother have been taking good care of you all these years, but how dare you return milk with tubal water. Where did you get rid of all the good we've given you? Did your brain shift after disappearing for a few days?” yuliana is back.

The sentence of judgment from the nobles returned to Xena, Yuliana smiled after she managed to trigger the anger of everyone.

‘Feel! Finish your history, Alina,” Inner Yuliana.

They were too naive, Xena was stronger than her looks, that woman was no ordinary woman who could only cry. Everyone who insults Xena, everything is automatically recorded in Xena's brain to mark anyone who deserves the death penalty later.

“Answer, do you know what punishment you receive if you hurt a noble? The nobles are your own family. How humiliating! An empress did an unspeakable thing. You have succeeded in creating a disgrace for Charise,” Xander said.

“Aib huh? Having an Emperor like you might be more worthy of being called a disgrace. Just so you know that even if I kill them, I will never admit to being wrong or apologize. What I did to them was only a small part of my vengeance.”

Derryl growled in silence, he clenched his lips while bluffing his teeth, his hands clenched tightly as if he wanted to slap Xena's mouth. The whole room judged Xena crazy and did not hesitate to spout a sentence cursing Xena.

“Looks like you're showing me more courage, so I wouldn't hesitate to punish you, Empress.”

“PFFTT HAHAHA.” Xena laughed loudly, she did not care what punishment she would receive, she just thought Derryl was too funny to punish her, “Punish me? Please just do it, I'm not afraid,” challenge Xena.

“Alright, now I will announce the punishment for the Empress. From today I announce that Alina Alister's status as Empress was demoted to concubine and Brisia will bear the status of the next Empress. For additional punishment, Alina would be locked up in her palace for a month to reflect on the bad deeds she had done. As for Duke Alister, the palace will compensate you for all the damage done by Alina.”
