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.
Don’t Slack Off [Bonus chapter]
While waiting for the preparations to be completed before he could send a marriage proposal, Ferdinand met with Icarus again to have their usual bout.
They had a duel and after that, Icarus informed Ferdinand that he was planning to get married soon.
But when Icarus informed him whom he wanted to marry, Ferdinand was against it. It was because Arabella was the one whom Icarus planned to marry.
Icarus had been telling him about the woman he loved without saying who she was and where she came from and Ferdinand had rooted for him in the past. But who would have thought he would fall in love to the same person.
Ferdinand and Icarus had a fight over it and both decided to settle who gets to propose to her in the fight for her hand which her other suitors would participate in.
Ferdinand was already sure he would win it though since he knew he was much stronger than Icarus. But he remained silent since he didn't want to give Arabella up to anyone else even if it was Icarus.
