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.
He Denied It At First
Humans were unexpectedly almost able to wipe out the long-lived races. Perhaps Ferdinand could also find his end from them (or so he thought).
So, when he was sent to Valeria, he thought it was the perfect chance to find someone to kill him. He waited for years with nothing.
But one day, encountered Icarus who was so much stronger than the others. He thought maybe, it could be him. So, he met with Icarus several times to gauge his strength. It wasn't his intention, but they ended up becoming close. And he realized that just like Raymond and Alwin, Icarus would not try to kill him.
So, he had to find another way to die. But instead, he found a reason to live in a fragile woman he happened to encounter.
And just like the other dragons, he simply knew, she was the one for him.
He denied it at first.
It was simply so unreasonable to like someone to that extent upon meeting them for the first time. But the more he gazed at her, the more he was certain.
