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 naïve 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 child. 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 in her arms. 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 didn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too!” This was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. But in her second life, Arabella was unexpectedly bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.
Affirmation
"What I wanted to say is that Alwin is so beautiful. Both men and women get attracted to him. He is even prettier than me and he knows you much more than I do. So, I'm saying I'm the one who should be worried he might snatch you away from me, not the other way around since he's not even interested in any lady so far."
"What are you talking about? No one can compare to your beauty. Not even Alwin. He is indeed very pretty. But you are more beautiful and striking in every way," her husband's eyes were clouded by his feelings.
Arabella could at least admit to herself that Alwin was more beautiful than she was.
Especially if he was a woman. But even as a man, she was on the losing end.
That's another reason she would never be attracted to him.
He was simply too beautiful.
She adored his elven beauty, but she liked elves far too much to even think of marrying one or even just thinking about them in a romantic way.
She would never dare even if she had the chance.
