Toxic Empress

The Story of the Ancient Book

“Because you already know who I am, I will say it frankly to all of you, especially Xena. It is not impossible for you to fight against the Barbarian King because his power is the same as your strength of poison control. Just so you know, Alina was also killed by the Barbarian King,” Xander said.

The deg!

As Xena's blood rippled violently, her hands clenched tightly, and her jaw stiffened as Xander revealed it blatantly. Not only was the matter of strength the same as the Barbarian King, but also the matter of the mastermind of Alina's murder. For some time now Xena has been searching for the mastermind behind the murder of her twin sister, and today she knows the truth behind it.

“A-what did you .. say? Alina ... My poor Alina was killed by that baj*ngan? Wh why? Why didn't you tell me from the beginning? I've been figuring out the mastermind, but I haven't found any clues. Now you're saying that the mastermind is the Barbarian King? And also he has poison-control powers like me? What does that mean, Xander?!”

Xena lost her mind for a moment, as did Xena's subordinates who were inside the same space. Who would have thought that if Alina's killer was a formidable person like the Barbarian King, they still did not know the reason the Barbarian King killed Alina.

“The Barbarian King is from the silver eye clan, Your father seems to also be from the silver eye clan. As I know, in ancient times the silver eye clan was famous for its poison control. The goal of the Barbarian King killing Alina is to lure you out of your hiding place. I don't know the reason further, but that's all I can tell you,” explains Xander.

Xander is forced to lie about Xena's real father, in fact he is worried if Xena knows that the Barbarian King is his real father. Moreover, now they are with the members of the revolutionary forces. Xavier looked at Xander, and he saw a scratch of anxiety in Xander, forced to lie to his mother.

‘Dad really didn't want to lie, but if Mom knew who her real father was, it was even more so. I think Dad's move to lie to Mom is very appropriate, Mom would be much safer if not knowing about the truth,’ Inner Xavier.

Xena mutely, she twitched her dizzy temple due to the fact that it had just attacked her. However, he did not have time to think about anything else, which surely he already knew the mastermind behind Alina's murder.

“Why would the Barbarian King want to lure me out? Does he see me as a threat? Does he know that I'm the leader of a higanbana killer? Or did he know about the existence of revolutionary forces? I still don't understand.”

Various questions popped into Xena's head, constantly hitting her. Xander realized how stressed Xena was then, then he stroked Xena's shoulder to calm himself.

“Just relax, you don't need to know why you're luring you out. Now proceed according to your plan, your target is the Barbarian King. I will tell you one more thing that behind the Barbarian King there is someone more terrifying than him. That person is the Demon King.”

As the excitement approached the meeting room, the demon was a mystical creature that for several hundred years had never appeared in the human world. No one knows anything about a creature called Satan, but all this time they thought that the devil had vanished from the face of the earth.

“King Satan? But, wasn't the Demon King sealed? I once read an ancient book about the story of the Demon King,” said very serious Search.

“Ancient book what are you saying? Please explain to us, Search,” Floris said.

“Maybe everyone said that the Demon King has vanished, but he actually did not disappear, but sealed the ancient magic. About 560 years ago, demons and humans coexisted. Not a few among the demons were undergoing contracts to lend their power to humans. However, something big happened after that.”

Search pauses the explanation, the atmosphere is really quiet, even Xander or Xavier do not know the dark story of the world 560 years ago. Life this time things went differently, Xander had never heard this story from Carian's mouth before.

“What happened?” klaus asked, getting curious.

“Humans betray the demons, they turn around to destroy the demons so that they can rule this earth. The great battle took place and was won by the humans, in that fight, the most beloved woman of the Demon King died, the Demon Queen herself. The Demon King rampaged to destroy half of this world, then the younger brother of the Demon King who wanted to stop the destruction of the world was forced to seal the Demon King.

It is also said that after 200 years after, the seal of the Demon King was released, it again messed up in the human world. Coincidentally at that time, a woman suspected of being the reincarnation of the Demon Queen was born as a human, which the woman was none other than the wife of the Demon King's Sister. A great war ensued between two brothers who captured one woman, in the end the woman killed herself. The Demon King's sister sealed her brother again and he commited suicide next to the body of the woman he loved.”

A tragic love story told in detail by Carian, Xander and Xena feel a stranger from the story of Carian. I don't know why it feels like they're getting involved in the story.

“Search, where did you get the book?” ask Elinor.

“From the ancient building, the book had a black cover, but strangely when I wanted to bring the book here, the book simply disappeared like the wind. That's the reason why I know the story of two people's love that ended tragically. At first I refused to believe it, but everything was real in the book. So I was shocked when I heard about the Demon King, maybe the seal is now released again,” explained Carian.

The feeling of tightness approaching the hearts of Xena and Xander, it was so painful, as if the story of Search was intended for both of them.

‘Hatiku ... why? Why do I feel like I'm that woman? Why did my heart suddenly hurt as if it was pierced by a dagger? I don't know, but I feel like that woman is myself, Xena's inner’ while touching her heart.

Similarly, with Xander also mating the same thing, they both feel in the position of the Demon King's Sister and the woman who contested both.

“Nona, are you okay?” giselle asked worriedly to see Xena acting strangely.

“It's okay, don't worry about me. Now that we have to continue this meeting, I will be ending my role in Charise soon. After my role ends, you all attack Charise and overthrow the government of Derryl Charise! I'll give you my orders when I want to end my role as Alina.”
