Toxic Empress

Nidia the Surly Woman

Nidia whispered those words beside Xena's ear, as Xena turned around, she found no one there. The presence of Nidia suddenly disappeared with the whirring of the wind that had just blown violently. Xena was confused after digesting the words of Nidia while her neutrals searched for the existence of Nidia at that time. However, Xena did not find Nidia anywhere, all over Xena's body immediately goosebumps.

“What does it mean to say that to me? The gloomy woman had always emitted a strange energy from her body. He's really human, ‘kan? Or has he turned into a ghost?”

Guess after guess rained down on Xena's head, over time she felt that Nidia was not like a normal woman in general. The concubine who always disappeared like a ghost made Xena a little curious, so Xena turned her footsteps in the other direction, the palace of Nidia's residence in the western part of the main palace.

“Suram once, exactly its residents are also gloomy.”

Axela muttered as she walked down the hallway of the palace of Nidia's residence, the condition of her palace was almost the same as her palace that had been destroyed. It's just that in this place the gloomy aura is more pronounced, not to forget also the magical aura that briefly flashed in Xena's premonition.

“I don't like this place very much.”

Xena continued walking until she reached the door of the room where Nidia was. To be honest he was confused, in the palace that was large in size there was not a single servant or knight who passed by. Really like an uninhabited abandoned palace, there was only Nidia who settled down.

Tok tok tok tok

“Nidia, it's me Alina, can I go into your room? There is something I want to talk to you about,” Xena said as she knocked on the door.

Xena knocked repeatedly on the entrance of Nidia's room, for a while waiting, suddenly the door opened slowly. Xena said excuse me and immediately entered her foot inside the room.

“Why is the room so dark? Are there no lights here?”

The nuances of Nidia's room feel more horror, no lighting, only darkness. For a woman's room level, this is too scary. Xena dared herself to go further while calling out Nidia's name.

“Why are you here?”

“KYAAAAA!”

Xena was shocked and reflexively screamed when she found Nidia behind her back carrying a candle in her hand. Xena was in shock not playing, her heart seemed to be dislodged at that time.

“Yeah, I thought you were a ghost. Why is your room so dark? Is there no light?” ask Xena while adjusting her breathing rhythm to return to normal.

Then Nidia stepped up and turned on her room light, to Xena's surprise as she watched Nidia's room decor. Room curtains are black, skull decorations everywhere, and various flowers scattered on the floor.

“Nidia, are you a shaman?” Xena asked the question spontaneously. However, it was not an answer that Xena got but a glaring gaze from Nidia.

“No, I'm just happy to research the mystical stuff,” replied Nidia.

“What did you mean by that? I was a tumbar? Can you explain it to me?” ask Xena to the point.

My bead Nidia looked at Xena intensely, as if she was observing the flow of power from Xena's body. For some reason Nidia's behavior was so strange, she had never faced a woman like this before.

“I can't explain it. When you're done, can you get out of my room right now?”

At first Xena refuses to leave Nidia's room, but Nidia pulls Xena's hand and pushes her body away. Xena could not do much to persuade Nidia, and she decided to leave Nidia's room. Meanwhile, Nidia was still standing behind the door, confirming whether Xena had actually left her room or not.

“Xena Alister, the woman who became the victim of the world. He has lived seven times and this is his eighth life. Xander sacrificed so much for his love, even in the first life that neither Xander nor Xena remembered. A love story that always ends tragically between the two. Actually what kind of test did you give them both, O goddess of love?”

Xena returned to her room without any information from Nidia, and she was very disturbed by Nidia's words.

“Nona, no mail for you.” Gia handed Xena a letter. From the envelope, there was a stamp of Duke Alister's residence.

“So, the rumors have reached their ears. Let's see what they write.”

Inside a piece of white paper, various sweet words were written to Xena. They apologized and then told Xena to visit Duke Alistes' residence the next day. Xena read the letter while holding back a laugh, they were really greedy and wanted to master everything that belonged to Xena.

“Finally arrived also the day where you will stop breathing on this earth,” muttered Xena grinned sinisterly.

The next day, Xena prepared to leave for her family residence. Today her mood seemed very good, Gia was astonished to see Xena who was happy more than usual. Xena's arrival at Duke Alister's residence is welcome, but filled with pretense, no one sincerely welcomes Xena and Gia to come. The servants rushed Xena to the family living room. There he is awaited by Adolph, Merry, Yulianda, and Chayton. Adolph and Merry's condition still hasn't improved completely, while Yuliana and Chayton show a vengeful look.

‘I'm sure, this woman makes me impotent. After he squeezed mine, this matter came to attack me,’ grumbled Chayton inwardly.

“Alina, my son, come here. Let's talk, hasn't it been a long time since we last talked together?” welcome Adolph with a fake smile.

“Jeez, tumben once you treat me well. What did you guys call me here?” ask Xena while sitting on the sofa.

Adolph codes each other, though they are reluctant to pretend to be nice to Xena, but they still have to do so in order to seize all the assets Xena has just bought.

“Alina, we know what we've done so far is not good for you. However, after all we are family, so we are here to apologize and regret treating you badly. Will you forgive us? After this we promise we will treat you as well as possible,” said Merry very sweetly.

“Alright, I forgive you. Besides I've forgotten all your treatment of me,” replied Xena forced herself to smile.
