Toxic Empress

Truth Disclosing

“Dad, is Dad busy?”

Xavier comes to meet Xander in his study, Xander stops his work and focuses on Xavier.

“No, what's up?” ask Xander.

Then surprisingly Xena lowered her head at the door, Xander was stunned at Xena's sudden arrival. Xander showed Xena a smile, all the fatigue he had gained from his piling up job suddenly disappeared. Xander stood up from his seat to greet Xena.

“Xander, are you working?” tanya Xena glanced towards the pile of documents on the table Xander, “If you are busy, I will come again tomorrow,” continued Xena said.

Xander immediately pulls Xena's hand and holds the girl back from leaving her study. Xander misses Xena so much, she refrained from meeting him for a while now Xena is coming to see him without notice, of course she is not willing Xena should go home without talking to him for longer.

“I'm not busy, so don't go first. You must have come here something to talk to me about. Let's talk now,” said Xander pulled Xena sitting on the sofa.

Xena's eyes circulated in Xander's study, only to realize that the room looked more dreary than her room. There was no decoration there except for the painting displays as well as a number of objects such as a wall clock and some flower vases. If at midnight, then all that is heard there is the sound of the twang of a rotating clock.

Xander and Xavier sat together on the sofa opposite Xena, they kept looking at Xena while smiling. Their behavior like that made Xena blush embarrassed, she still did not think that the two men became her husband and child. Throughout her life, even Xena never imagined herself having a perfect marriage or having a small family. However, Xander and Xavier change everything, she starts to have dreams of getting married and having a cute baby.

“Stop smiling! I'm here to tell you something,” Xena said seriously.

Seeing Xena's serious look, Xander was convinced that this was not a simple conversation, and he began to seriously listen to Xena.

“What do you want to tell?”

Xena took a deep breath before she exposed Gylda's entire abomination towards Mother Xander. Xena's feeling of raging at once felt heavy wanting to explain everything to Xander, but she had to say it because this matter was no ordinary matter.

“Did you know your mother's death wasn't purely a suicide?”

Xander's blood rippled violently as soon as Xena asked so, honestly all this time he avoided talking or thinking that led to the mother. Then Xena reopened the conversation about her mother. Xander was traumatized when he found his mother hanged herself in the room. Still etched vividly in memory of how his mother's deathly pale and lifeless look hung on the ceiling of the room.

“What do you mean?”

“I will speak in detail, clearly, and blatantly. Regarding your mother's death there are many irregularities there, it seems that your mother did not commit suicide but was killed. One of the irregularities that have been hidden so far is the presence of traces of poison in the tea that your mother just drank. It's just that the person who found the poison was forced to shut up, so the awkwardness was not exposed at all to the ears of the people,” explained Xena.

“How did you know? All this time I thought my mother was really suicidal and I didn't double-check the incident because I still didn't dare to touch the talk about Mom.”

“I was helped by some of my subordinates searching for his year, they discovered this awkwardness through one of the former palace knights investigating the matter of suicide. Your mother was also ignored by the Emperor, just like what Alina had experienced. The emperor brought Gylda in and the woman screwed up the harem in an instant. The woman referred to as the Queen Mother was the one who planned the murder of your mother, Xander!”

Xander was surprised not to play, his hatred for Gylda increased drastically, he did not think Gylda could go that far in order to get a position as Empress. Xander had no power to hold back the anger that was stirring in the heart. His poor mother always smiled at him despite the great pain that the Emperor inflicted on her heart. Remembering how his kind-hearted mother had to suffer at the hands of the Emperor gave Xander a vengeance boost.

“It should have been from the beginning that I killed that damn woman, I don't need the throne as Emperor. I just want to put justice on my mother, I really don't know this fact. Even in the first life I didn't know it at all,” Xander said as he gritted his teeth.

“Split your veins, you just kill the woman later when the attack begins, so your revenge must be avenged.”

Xander relaxed his shoulders as he sighed, he leaned his back against the back of the sofa. All of this is hard to accept, but because Xena said it clearly, Xander trusted Xena. Xavier also struggles with his thoughts when he finds out that the Grandmother he has never met died horribly.

“I'm sorry to you for saying it without thinking about your feelings, but I don't think I should hold any serious concerns about your mother either. You have every right to know, my mother and I died at the hands of the same man. Because the woman was Xavier so could not meet his Grandmother,” grumbled Xena while chewing the chocolate that had been placed on the table.

“Speaking about assault, about when will Mom start the assault?” ask Xavier suddenly.

“Four days from now, I have contacted the revolutionary forces and now they are resting because they just finished dropping a number of empires,” replied Xena.

“Means in a moment, but don't you want to visit your Grandpa before the day of the attack arrives?” Xander also asked.

Xena thought for a moment, she did have plans to visit her Grandfather and Uncle since she had never met them since coming to Charise.

“Maybe tomorrow, do you want to come?”

Xena offers them to go with her to the area where her Grandpa and Uncle were exiled. Xena wanted to introduce the two of them to her remaining family, at least Grandpa or Uncle Xena had never treated her badly in the past. They are the ones who defend Xena desperately if they get unfair treatment from Adolpn. Considering the past really pissed him off, he was a little sorry for not killing Adolph in advance.

“Alright, let's go visit your Grandpa and Uncle tomorrow. I'll ask Garvin to clear my entire work schedule. I don't think tomorrow there's an important agenda, so it's easy for Garvin to postpone my entire schedule.”
