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.

The Head Minister of Taxation followed since it was where the national budget came from. There were still a lot of taxes to be collected since the harvest in other areas of Valeria was not over yet.

Since Valeria was so broad, they did not have the same seasons. 

Thus, other areas harvest early while the others harvest late. 

Meanwhile, those closest to Estrella had fertile lands and good weather and could plant and harvest all year round.

Because the world now had so much lesser mana compared to the past, the rich mana emanating from Estrella maintained their fertile soil and blessed their harvest. Hence, they were usually the ones who provided food supplies to Valeria in times of war.

It was one of the reasons Valeria often won in wars. They had a reliable supply system.
