Reborn as a Mind-Reading Empress
Falling for his warm touch despite his usual coldness, she loved him only to be disappointed and betrayed in the end. When love turns to darkness, it festers to be poisonous and consumes the soul. The naive Arabella evolved. . . . “Thank you for becoming my wife,” was her cold husband’s last words before he died, coupled with a smile that had never before graced his lips. Not on their wedding day. And not even at the birth of their only child. Emperor Ferdinand, someone Arabella loved so much, killed their son. She became a villainess and vowed revenge for her beloved son. For a decade, she used everything she could to make Ferdinand pay. Until finally, he fell to ruin. With her revenge complete, Arabella's life soon ended with her dead husband right beside her. But fate wasn’t done playing with her. All of a sudden, she was back two decades ago right after their wedding. Was it a curse or a blessing? It doesn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too,” that was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. And in her second life, Arabella was bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.
A Princess' Duty
After her emotional outburst, Arabella and everyone else finally went inside. She clarified that it wasn't because Ferdinand did something bad to her or anything. She reasoned that she simply suddenly realized just how homesick she had felt after seeing them again.
Her family had to apologize to Ferdinand for assuming it was his fault. Benjamin especially for his disrespectful conduct. Arabella also apologized since it was her fault they assumed wrong.
Ferdinand easily accepted their apology though since he was also very much shocked when Arabella suddenly began crying. He was very much relieved it wasn't because being in Valeria was too much for her.
He made Alwin heal her eyes so they wouldn't keep being swollen and red. After that, Ferdinand headed to the dining hall first and gave Arabella and her family some time to reunite and speak with each other before lunch begins.
