Toxic Empress

Luisa's Death

The whole room was surprised instead of playing, they were stunned to hear the explanation from the doctor. Moreover, for Derryl and Brisia, they were the ones who were the most surprised by the shock, it felt like their heartbeats would stop in that second as well. They don't believe that Brisia can no longer produce offspring.

‘What? I'm barren? How'this? Though I only intended to trap Alina, but why did the edges even become like this? Why is all the misfortune turning towards me? Could-be the Emperor looking for another new concubine to give birth to an heir, the Inner’ of Brisia was struck by an overwhelming panic.

“So, Brisia can't give birth to another child? Gosh, that means he can't give an heir to Charise. Cih, basic useless!”

Gylda clucked, he passed from everyone's sight and went outside the room.

“Oh yes, do not forget to give the most severe punishment for this woman. However Brisia is barren because of her,”, Gylda told Derryl while pointing at Xena and then instantly disappeared from the sight of their eyes.

Xena was eager to slap Gylda in the mouth, but she refrained from wasting her energy on a woman like Gylda. Xena focuses on Brisia who is undergoing her acting well, but Xena will not be easily fooled by Brisia's acting that looks very obvious.

“You .. This is all because of that woman, if only she hadn't poisoned me my son would still have survived. Your Majesty, please give justice to me .. I beg you, Your Majesty ..”

Brisia was crying so much in Derryl's arms, the atmosphere of the room room was getting turbid. Now that the servants were staring badly at Xena, even the knights were acting similarly. It was revealed from the look on Xena's face that she did not care about how people looked at her, which clearly at this time Xena only followed the flow of acting from Brisia.

“You guys hold Alina now in the dungeon! Don't let him go until he's sentenced!” derryl's orders were full of emotion.

Immediately the knight pulls Xena out of the room, despite having to sacrifice her own womb, but Brisia feels that she managed to get rid of Xena.

‘Feel! You won't be able to escape the future now!’ inner Brisia, then she looked at Xena with a triumphant gaze. Brisia flinched as soon as Xena came out with a grinning smile without a look of fear from her face.

‘What did he just smile? What does that mean?’

News of Xena poisoning Brisia and causing Brisia to miscarry spread very quickly throughout the empire. Many people who blaspheme against Xena, they denounce that Xena is a demonic woman. Xander and Xavier are wracked by the worries in his mansion as they think about Xena's fate in the present palace.

“Dad, can't we take Mom on the run now?” ask Xavier worriedly.

At that time they were on the sword training field, but the news about Xena made them postpone their training for a moment. For them, knowing the state of Xena is more important now than this exercise.

“Calm down, your mother must be planning something, I'm sure it's.”

In between their worries, Garvin runs to Xander and carries a letter coming from the palace. Garvin handed them the letter, apparently it was sent by Xena to them. Xavier asked his father to quickly open his letter and read what was written there.

“This is part of the plan, soon I will end my role in the palace. So, I beg of you when you hear the rumors about me, you better keep quiet in your mansion.”

“Xavier, we will kill Marquess Andros tonight. He is the spy of the Barbarian King, we cannot let him live any longer.”.

“Alright, Father.”

In the afternoon, not yet finished the news about Xena, now comes more shocking news. The news is that Luisa – son of Marquess Andros was found in her room in a state of death hanged himself, and more surprising again, Luisa was found in a state of pregnancy. Luisa's pregnancy happened so quickly as a result of the illicit drug that had been consumed by the servant who slept with her. Prior to this, Marquess Andros had killed the servant ahead of the issue of the family's good name.

However, the efforts of Marquess Andros seem to have ended in vain because the servant who was in the Xander mansion even spread the news about Luisa sleeping with a servant. As a result, Luisa's death became a byword among the nobility, none of them did not speak of the death.

“Marquess Andros, I'm so sorry for the death of your only daughter,” said Derryl visiting the residence of Marquess Andros.

“Thank you for your visit, Your Majesty,” reply Marquess Andros.

“I know that Luisa is a child who has been with you in solitude, I think you have treated her well too. I'm sure he must be calm in nature there, I also hope you can live well as usual because you are a trusted person for me. You understand what I mean, Marquess?”

“Yes, I understand, Your Majesty. The death of my daughter will be consumed by time, nor will I forget my duty as your right hand. So, I can definitely rise faster than this crash.”

Derryl smiled slanted as he patted Marquess Andros on the shoulder, he passed away from where Marquess Andros was heading towards Luisa's coffin to see the state of Luisa's corpse which was filled with scars.

‘Right hand? The foolish emperor trusted me deeply, however Charise would also soon vanish at the hands of the Barbarian King, the inner’ of Marquess Andros.

At the same time, Xena was named as the prime suspect who poisoned Brisia so that she is now being held behind an iron cage. Xena had not heard of Luisa's death because no one had told her. After a few minutes, Gia sneaked in to see Xena.

“Nona, I have sent a message to Duke Geraldo,”, Gia said in a soft voice.

Xena stood up and got up close to Gia because there was something else she needed to talk to Gia about.

“Good work. Is there any more news?” ask Xena.

“Actually I would like to report that Luisa, the daughter of Marquess Andros was found hanged herself at her residence in a pregnant condition. Now the empire is being horrendous by this news,” explained Gia.

Xena seemed not surprised by the news, she had already expected that Luisa would end her life sooner or later.

“That was indeed a good ending for him, now I have another command for you, Gia. I want you to scout Brisia, see who the man she's been meeting with a lot lately is behind the Emperor because the child that Brisia had conceived before was not the real son of the Emperor, but rather the son of another man.”
