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.
"Then, as you said, we can lend some of our chefs, right?" Arabella redirected their topic to the chefs to hide her embarrassment.
"Yes, of course."
"Then, I'll meet with them later, and ask who's willing to stay there for a few days. They can return with Aletha once she returns here."
Arabella noted an addition to her schedule for today.
"Alright," Ferdinand smiled at her knowingly.
[Haha. She's so adorable when she's trying to hide her embarrassment.]
'Geez. How can he tease me like this in front of so many people.'
Arabella noted to tease Ferdinand later too when they are alone.
'Oh, right. I should inform Alwin to tell Blanca to head here after bringing her things to her room.'
Arabella rubbed her summoning ring and contacted Alwin.
{Alwin, can you please inform Blanca to head here in the storage area of gifts for me? My other maids are here to choose gifts for my siblings and Elder Satara.}
