Toxic Empress

The Old Hidden Reality

In the middle of the night when all activities were dismissed, Xavier replaced his father's duty to kill Marquess Andros. Xavier quietly slipped into the residence of Marquess Andros, the atmosphere there was quieter than Xavier expected. Xavier's steps were very slow, his feet did not make any noise when stepping. Then Xavier turned his foot into the room of Marquess Andros. Although he was currently still in a grieving situation, but this residence did not seem like a person of loss.

“Oh, it turns out this guy is sleeping. Good, so I'm easier to kill him.”

As Xavier was about to draw his sword towards the heart of Marquess Andros, Marquess Andros' eyes opened. He was surprised to find Xavier who was about to kill him, but he jumped down from the bed and away from Xavier.

“S-who are you?!”

Marquess Andros trembled in fear as he looked at Xavier who was filled with a powerful killing aura. He kept inching backwards until he reached the corner of space, Xavier stepped closer with a sword ready to slash the head of Marquess Andros.

“Who am I? I am the angel of death in charge of uprooting your life,” Xavier replied with a terrible smile.

“Did you come to kill me? Don't hope! I'm a noble, you won't be able to kill me. Aren't you worried about your life being threatened after drawing your sword on me? You really did something ridiculous just to kill me. It's the same when you take your life to the abyss of hell.”

Marquess Andros tried hard to scare Xavier, but his efforts seemed futile because Xavier did not care about him being a fugitive. For Xavier, those who have hurt the mother should be killed immediately. Xavier loved his mother, so he did not want his mother's life to be disturbed by people like Marquess Andros.

“I don't care if you're royalty or not, which obviously now I've come to kill you and take you first to hell.”

“What? No. .. I don't want to die. Go you there! Just go! AAKKKHHHH!”

Xavier mercilessly floated the tip of his sword at the head of Marquess Andros, causing his head to roll on the floor. Fresh blood splashed onto Xavier's face, he was already used to doing this, so killing just one person was fine for him. Xavier sighed as soon as he finished the task that Xander had entrusted.

“Those who hurt my mother must die, whatever the reason I won't show mercy. My mother's happiness is paramount, so I'm willing to dirty my hands with blood as long as I can live happily with Dad.”

Meanwhile at the same time in the Xander mansion, Nidia coincidentally visits Xander. The woman sneaks quietly into the mansion and meets Xander in her study. Nidia's arrival makes Xander surprised because he only met Nidia once, when he wanted to turn the clock for the first time. After he turned the clock a seventh time, only this time did he meet Nidia directly.

“You ... why are you here?” xander was confused.

“Xander, we haven't seen each other in a long time. Is your relationship with Xena okay?” ask Nidia back.

Xander sighed as he ruffled his hair, looking a frustrated look on his face. Seeing how Xander reacts, Nidia understands that Xander is currently dizzy thinking about how else he can save Xena.

“Without you telling me, I understand that you are having trouble dealing with the problems that are happening. But, Xander, how do you feel about meeting your own son? Are you happy?”

Xander immediately straightened his head with both eyes widened to look at Nidia, not expecting Nidia to know about Xavier's whereabouts.

“Why do you know about Xavier? Did you bring him here?”

“So, that's the reason why Xavier can arrive in this age? I didn't expect the boy would make a request to take her to the same time as me and Xena. Then now do you just want to talk about this matter with me?”

Nidia smiled slightly, for some reason Xander's expression was never friendly to women other than Xena.

“I want to ask, did you dream of Xena killing herself before you?”

The deg!

Xander was surprised when Nidia raised the question to him, Xander never told anyone about his dream, but Nidia instead knew the dream.

“How can you know my dream?” ask Xander.

“It was your first life with Xena.”

Xander's blood once again rustled violently, his chest tight as Nidia said it blatantly. Xander froze in place, his tongue cackling and not knowing what to respond to.

“First life? You mean I'm the younger brother of the Demon King? No kidding. It's impossible, impossible I'm the younger brother of the man,” denied Xander's disbelief.

“That is the truth, in your first life you were the younger brother of the Demon King. The story that Carian talked about earlier was the story of you and Xena. You can't believe me, but Xander, try now to think about the power of the purple flame in your body. Purple flame is the main force of demons, it makes no sense that an ordinary human can control that purple flame.”

Xander was instantly speechless, which Nidia said made sense because no human had purple flames. The power that until now did not know where obtained by Xander is now answered already.

“I think you're starting to believe now. Xena is also the reincarnation of the Demon Queen who is the wife of the Demon King. However, Xena had no memory of her time with the Demon King. Due to the death of Xena who was killed by humans, the Demon King also holds hatred and revenge on humans. That is why the Demon King created chaos in the world by utilizing the Barbarian King who is crazy for power,” Nidia explained again.

“Gosh, is this real? So, me and Xena were husband and wife in my first life? So, this is my eighth life and not my seventh?”

“Yes, that's right. I'm here to tell you that you and Xena must immediately exterminate the Demon Lord because the world is getting messed up. Only the two of you can do that, through the combined strength of the two of you then this world can be saved. However, Xander, you need to know one thing that through the process of extermination of the Demon King, something must be sacrificed there,” said Nidia.

“What to sacrifice?”

“Xena. The woman you love will be sacrificed into this annihilation, if you just seal it, you can do it alone. Will but—”

BRAKK!
