Toxic Empress

A Lie

The process of transferring the aura of life took a lot of time, now it was past twelve hours. However, Klaus still has not stopped forcing himself to work, he is determined not to let Xander die just like that. Meanwhile, Xena was currently gathered in one room with her other subordinates. Xena began to tell one by one the problems that occurred without their knowledge.

The look on their faces was unsettled, every word that came from Xena's mouth was able to shake their souls. Xena did not miss a single flashback of her life, now they all know what happened in both Xena and Xander's lives. Disappointment, hurt, pain, and fear, everything muted into one. They could not imagine the extent of Xander's struggle to make Xena's life a happy part.

“Nona, how did Duke Geraldo get through it all by himself? Plus Young Master Xavier, he was too young to handle all the pain. I can't hold back tears, you showed us the embodiment of true love.”

No matter how much they held back the tears, it would still eventually break apart. Their tears just came out, the sadness Xena felt as if flowing profusely in their hearts. Xena just bowed limp, her feelings were chaotic and the anxiety in her heart grew worse given Xander's condition that had not shown any change.

They dissolved in each other's feelings until over twenty-four hours passed, finally Klaus completing the transfer of life aura. Klaus' body weakened, he was barely even conscious of using too much of his own power.

“Calm down, Miss ... Duke Geraldo is fine,” Klaus slowly his consciousness began to be completely snatched away.

Xena's body decays to the floor, her legs withering limp because her body was tense all day thinking about Xander's condition. Now that Xena could breathe a sigh of relief, her body relaxed a little, and just waited until Xander regained consciousness. While Xavier fell asleep after giving an aura of life to the father. There was nothing more comforting right now than watching the two of them be okay.

“When are you going to wake up? Don't worry me,” muttered Xena. He is currently sitting on the left side of Xander's bed, waiting until Xander regains consciousness.

Although Xena was previously relieved to hear that Klaus managed to transfer most of Xavier's life aura, but her heart was still haunted by great fear. The transfer of life aura was only temporary, so Xena did not know Xander would survive until when.

“Hey, why is your face bent sad? Are you worried about me?”

As Xena lifted her head, she saw that Xander had regained consciousness, Xena's tears spontaneously descended from the eye peluk. Xander quickly got up and pulled Xena's body into his arms, feeling guilty for letting Xena witness her frail self.

“Stupid basis! Do you know how scared I was when I woke up to find you unconscious in a very cold body?! You're mean! Could you hide your pain from me? Why didn't you ever tell me that? Please don't make me like crazy again.”

Xena rambled while in Xander's arms, complaining that she was scattering out of her tiny lips. The never-ending fear weighed on Xena's heart, this time Xander could only give Xena a warm embrace.

“Calm down, now that I'm sober, I'm sorry I made you and Xavier worried.”

Xena brought herself out of Xander's arms, she stared fixedly at Xander's face, filled with questions about Xander's illness.

“What are you hiding from me? Are you suffering from an illness I don't know about?” search Xena.

“I'm not sick, but it's just that I experienced the effects of time rotation, returning time back to save you requires a considerable fee. However, now that I am not sick anymore, my body is so much fresher than before.”

Xander tries to convince Xena of the condition of his body, although what happens is that the disease is still trying to gnaw his heart. Xander closes the meeting on this matter from the outside world including Xena herself. He hoped that he would still have plenty of time to make Xena happy.

“Iya, I didn't lie to you.”

Xander kissed Xena's lips to prove that she wasn't lying. Indeed, Xander's heart was torn apart once he was forced to lie to Xena.

“Duke, have you regained consciousness? Thankfully, we are all worried about you,” Floris said just walked into the room.

One by one Xena's subordinates entered the room, they looked relieved after finding Xander already conscious from his unconsciousness. They showed great care to Xander, making Xander feel touched. The memory in the man's head was spinning fast, the images of the past that Xena's subordinates lived with were etched into many memories.

A few minutes of talking, Xena finally fell asleep, she was tired enough to keep Xander all day without sleep. Xander laid Xena's body on the bed, letting Xena sleep soundly alone without any noise.

“Dad, can we talk for a minute?” ask Xavier.

“Yes? Okay, let's talk outside,” replied Xander.

The two of them went out of the room, Xander locked the room tightly and told Gia not to come in until Xena woke up. Xander could already guess what Xavier was about to talk about, but he still wanted to hear Xavier to the end.

The sleeping Xena slowly entered the dreamland, she felt her soul being pulled into an unfamiliar place. Xena arrives at a luxurious room, looking at Xena's face and wondering where she is at the moment.

“I am where? Why did I get to this place?”

Xena's gaze circled to every corner of the room, she circled the room to find a way out. However, Xena still did not find it, around the room there was no entrance gap. Xena tried to fumble through the wall, hoping for a hidden door that could help her get out of there.

“Actually where am I? Why is there no door in this room? Was I framed by someone?”

Various conjectures may strike Xena's head, but she does not give up on getting out of the strange place. It didn't take long until a door emerged from the surface of the wall. The door was enormous, different from the ordinary doors in its headquarters, even the door was shrouded in powerful magic.

“Where should I walk? The hallway is very long, I don't see any end behind this hallway,” muttered Xena again.

Until Xena arrived at the end of the hall, a white space spread out in front of Xena's eyes. However, there was something that attracted her there, so Xena decided to look for an aura of an alien existence that drew her here.

“Huh? Whatisit? Is there anyone besides me here?”
