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.
Back in Her Office
Arabella and Ferdinand only drank the tea in Olivier Castle. They did not dare touch food since it meant, it would have to be checked for poison. Likewise, they were not even in the mood to eat back there.
But with food prepared by Alfredo, they knew it was delectable before they even began eating.
"I will be dealing with the issue between my assistants later. What about you," Arabella inquired once they were done eating.
She knew Ferdinand had a lot of things to do here too.
"I will meet with the ministers. There are a lot of things we need to discuss. Check how the knights are doing. Check my assistants as well. Oh, and I need to meet with the advisers too…" Ferdinand enumerated, and it was a long list.
"Then, we will meet in Estrella later?" Arabella inquired if she should return first. "Or should we stay the night here?"
"Let's meet in Estrella. It's safer. I don't even want to leave your side while those magicians are still lurking somewhere," Ferdinand held her hand.
