Toxic Empress

Emotion Fishing

Gylda frowned, she disliked Xena at all, her grudge was greater from remembering what Xena had done before. Gylda gritted his teeth, wanting to feel like he finished off Xena that very second, but he withdrew his intention because Xena was much stronger than him.

“I hate you so much, but I hate your Grandpa the most!” gylda said loudly.

Xena paused for a moment to hear Gylda's hate speech towards Grandpa Xena. Come to think of it, Xena also did not know at all about the matter that was brewing between Gylda and her Grandfather Xena. Then Xena approached towards Gylda, she sat down on the sofa opposite Gylda.

“Tell me! What's the matter with you and my grandfather? Describe in detail what your hatred started from?!” xena asked with a full look.

“Do I have to answer your question? I have no obligation to answer them anyway. You better ask your grandfather? Ah, I forgot, your grandfather was being exiled after trying to kill his own son-in-law. Even your unmarried uncle was exiled after helping your grandfather in an attempted murder. What a crazy family,” Gylda said with a mocking look and a condescending tone.

Xena's grandfather who was the previous Duke of Alister was exiled by the previous Emperor to a remote area in Charise. After the death of Mother Xena, the previous Duke Alister lost his mind because the Emperor declared that his mother died of illness. Though it was clear that there was poison in his mother's body, but the Emperor refused to seek justice. It caused deep hatred in both Grandfather and Uncle Xena's hearts.

After that, the two of them tried to kill Adolph back then, and their actions were finally discovered by the Emperor. Grandpa Xena and her Uncle were exiled to a small area in the corner of the empire. Xena has never visited her Grandfather while in Charise.

Xena let out a long sigh, the more she saw the more she hated Gylda, moreover she already knew that the mastermind of her mother's death was that woman. His blood rippled violently every time he looked at Gylda's face.

“Indeed there is no point in me talking to a madman,” said Xena while turning a lazy eyeball.

“Did you just insult me? How dare your mouth spout insults at me.”

Gylda gave an oppressive look to Xena, unfortunately Xena did not feel oppressed just because of her gaze. Xena is a tough figure who is not easy to drop, compared to Alina who easily feels oppressed when stared at by others. Xena sat down while crossing her legs in front of Gylda, she looked like a ruler.

“Hinning you? Right, I insulted you. Then why? Do you want to be mad at me?”

Gylda's jaw stiffened due to Xena's words that seemed blunt, even he did not hesitate to release all his irritation to Gylda. Facing Xena requires sanity that is above the average human in general. The woman who is betrothed to her child has such bad qualities.

“This jal*ng woman should have disappeared saj—” long ago

“You're the more jal*ng, weren't you a concubine as well? Ahh, I forgot something. Before you entered the Emperor's harem, you were just a fallen noble boy and then you seduced the Emperor to make him approve of you entering his harem. You took all the Emperor's attention until he ignored the previous Empress, after I thought you were very similar to Brisia.”

Xena examines Gylda's past, who would have thought that Xena knew Gylda's past in such detail. Gylda's expression was furious, his facial veins protruding out, Xena was very good at provoking Gylda to explode.

“Damn it! This woman ... HOW INSOLENT YOU ARE!” gylda shouted filled with overwhelming anger. Sontak Gylda got up from his sitting position, then he doused Xena's face with a cup of tea.

Xena chuckled as the tea water soaked her face, she fished out the truth stored behind the lies for these few years. The fact that Gylda was actually the mastermind of the murder of Mother Xander aka the previous Empress. Xena asks her subordinates to find out about the truth of Mother Xander's death, she discovers the many irregularities behind her death.

“Why are you angry? What I just said was the truth? Geez, my mouth is really free to talk about it openly,” said Xena with a slanted smile.

“Supply! Who told you that? That's slander! It is impossible to do such a dirty thing!”

Gylda looked very panicked, only this time Xena saw Gylda panicking, let alone panicking it looked out of bounds like someone who was caught lying for the sake of getting something. From Gylda's reaction, Xena understood that what he said was actually a fact that had been hidden and kept tight from public hearing.

“Alright, let's just say I speak carelessly. Now I go first, enjoy your days well before a big storm comes hitting you.”

Xena disappeared in an instant from Gylda's sight, her goal of coming here was only to provoke Gylda's anger. Although she wanted to know the past events that made Gylda so resentful of her family, seeing the panicked Gylda was more than enough.

“How could the woman know? I've removed all the evidence. Is it possible for someone to know about it secretly and then reveal it to him? What if this problem reaches Xander's ear? I know how crazy that guy is, plus he doesn't hesitate to finish off his enemy in one swipe. Can't be left like this, I can't die in her hands,” muttered Gylda anxiously as she bit her nails.

Xena did not go back to the palace of her residence, she decided to turn the direction of flying towards Xander's residence. Xena landed on the balcony of Xavier's room, she wanted to see her son first before taking Xander to speak.

“Xavier, open the door.”

Xena slowly knocked on Xavier's room door, hearing Xena's voice, Xavier immediately jumped out of bed and opened the door so Xena could enter her room. Xena's smile spread wide when she saw Xavier's face, she immediately hugged Xavier tightly.

“Mother! Did Mom come here to see me?” ask Xavier girang.

“Iya, but I also want to see your Dad, is he busy now?”

“It looks like no, I'll take Mom to Dad's room.” Xavier drew Xena's hand, he clasped her happily.

Xena still could not believe that she had given birth to a child in her past life. Although in this life Xavier and he look like Big Brother, but still basically Xavier is his own son.
