Toxic Empress

Pregnancy Brisia

However, it turns out that public speculation about the death of the nobles did not arrive there. Today there is a new rumor in Charise stating that the death of the nobles is related to Xena. Remembering before their death, they had spoken words that were not comfortable and insulted Xena all out, so people began to think that they died because they had hurt Xena. Now they call it a curse for insulting the former Empress.

The rumor spread so quickly to Derryl's hearing drum, in between his silence that takes care of one by one the big problems that come up, now comes a rumor that adds to Derryl's burden. Some time ago she had just finished the coronation of the appointment of Brisia as Empress Charise. Then now he had to move to erase the rumors that came out of nowhere.

“Death of influential nobles in Charise, this is not a simple matter. Why would they die? Why are there so many toxins in their bodies? Is it possible that someone deliberately wanted to take down Charise? If that's the case, it means there's an enemy sneaking in here. I can't let it go much longer, especially this new rumor bothers me so much,” Derryl murmured.

As she continued to murmur seriously, Brisia came quietly to Derryl's study. Derryl's deep daydreams kept him from hearing Brisia's footsteps, until Brisia finally chose to surprise Derryl.

“Darling, what are you doing?” brisia whispers next to Derryl's ear. Brisia's breath made Derryl's entire body goosebumps, at which time his daydream just split apart.

“Yes, Brisia! You surprise me,” said Derryl.

Brisia was excited after being appointed as Empress, she immediately sat on Derryl's lap while giving a kiss on Derryl's lips.

“Because it's just the two of us here, so I can use casual language, ‘kan?” brisia asked with a made-up cute voice.

“Of course, may. You're special in my heart, so there's no way I'm forbidding you from talking casually to me,” Derryl said.

However, when Derryl was about to kiss Brisia back, suddenly the shadow of Xena's face flashed through his mind. For some reason she could not take her mind off Xena, the faint smile of Xena who was never friendly to her kept shooting at her mind. Instantly he forgot there was Brisia in front of his eyes now. The charm of Brisia that made her crazy seemed to diminish after Xena came to her life.

‘Why did the Emperor take his eyes off me? What makes him behave like this?’ thought Brisia.

Then Brisia put a more intimate touch on Derryl, he hoped Derryl would react more to his touch. However, beyond expectations, Derryl did not react to his touch. Derryl held Brisia's hand so as not to tickle her body any further.

“Stop that, Brisia. I don't want to do it,” said Derryl gently reject Brisia.

Brisia's carefree face momentarily turned sullen, she most disliked the rejection, especially from Derryl himself. Then Brisia came down from Derryl's lap, she was very angry with Derryl's treatment just now.

“Your Majesty, you really made me angry. Why do you look different today? I hate your nature like this. Please don't meet me until you apologize and admit the mistake you just made,” Brisia sulks.

He planned to step outside the room, he deliberately spoke formally to Derryl so that Derryl felt guilty to himself. However, Derryl just stayed in place and did not move to chase him who was getting away from the workspace.

‘What's wrong with me? I'm not in the least bit passionate about Brisia.’

Just before the exit, Brisia suddenly fell unconscious, Derryl was struck by intense panic as soon as he witnessed Brisia unconscious. Soon Derryl got out of his seat to help Brisia. Soon Derryl lifted Brisia's body to take her to the room and did not forget also he ordered the waiter to call the doctor.

Brisia's face was deathly pale and her body was lying weakly on the bed, the stripes of anxiety clearly visible on Derryl's facial lines.

“Congratulations, Your Majesty, it looks like Charise's new sun is soon born. The empress is pregnant and her gestational age is now entering the fourth month,” said the doctor.

“So, that means I'm going to be a dad?”

The doctor nodded, on the sidelines of the bad news that continued to come in a row, at this time there was happy news that would melt the gloomy atmosphere in the empire. Instantly the news instantly spread to every corner point of the empire. No one was unhappy with this news, the nobles were busy sending congratulatory gifts to Brisia.

“Hey, it looks like the former Empress is barren, she first entered the palace but she has not been pregnant until now. It seems like lowering her to concubine is the right choice, if she continues to be Empress, then there will be no heir to the throne born.”

Bad whispers again targeted Xena, they compared Xena to Brisia who managed to conceive the Emperor's child. Suppose they knew that it was actually Derryll who had never touched the Empress before, once touched in an unconscious state, Alina could instantly produce offspring for her. Unfortunately, Alina didn't last much longer, if she was alive maybe those people's mouths would be silent.

“Pregnant huh? I never even imagined my stomach turning big because of conceiving a child. Never mind getting pregnant, I just never thought of getting married,” muttered Xena.

“Really? But, I always imagined to marry you and give birth to two pairs of children,” chirped Xander who suddenly appeared from the bedroom window.

Xena was surprised, he immediately woke up from his sleeping position, the sudden arrival of Xander made Xena cluck.

“Yes, Xander! Why do you always go in through the window? Is your body now healed? Don't make me angry, and just go back to the mansion!” Xena encourages Xander's body to leave her room.

“I brought this,” said Xander lifted a box of chocolate cake to persuade Xena. Xena immediately took the cake from Xander's hands.

“OK, you can be here, but don't stay long. Later you get caught by the palace guards and it will make me trouble.”

...***...

At night in a kingdom shrouded in darkness and filled with unfriendly air is going on a secret meeting. Along the shoulder of the road, there were many human skulls, a sinister aura and not to forget the red sky mixed with pitch-black. The smell of a human carcass bursts into the smell, as if there were no life in that place. The kingdom was named the Barbarian Kingdom, the location where the cruelest King is now located.

“Greetings to His Majesty the King of Barbarian.”

A hunchback man greeted a man in his 40s who was sitting on a throne seat. The man referred to as the king had the physical features of flaming red hair and silver eyes that shone like Xena's eyes.

“Ahh, Marquess Andros, long time no see. What about the task I gave you?” ask the King to Marquess Andros who is under the throne.

“Sorry, Your Majesty, I failed to separate Xander from your daughter,” replied Marquess Andros.

“Fuck? You are not becus! Can't you use your daughter to separate them?! Ahh shit! Though I killed Alina to lure Xena out of her base, but now again the man named Xander is clinging to her?! I won't let him marry Xena because Xena belongs to the great Demon King!”
