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.
Everyone celebrated the defeat of the monsters since none had reappeared after Ferdinand eliminated the largest with just one blow. For the Safirans, it was their first time witnessing such a feat.
Arabella wanted to scold her husband a bit though while everyone's attention was elsewhere. She had a lot to say about him playing around during such a dangerous situation.
But before she and Ferdinand could speak with each other, Alwin returned. Thus, they had to listen to his report instead. They had to save their conversation for later.
Riley vanished since he traded places with Alwin to ensure the mines were still guarded.
"Your Majesty, I have recaptured and imprisoned the magician," Alwin reported.
[Why did he have to return right now when I was supposed to speak with my wife?!]
Ferdinand glared at Alwin since he wanted to know soonest why Arabella seemed angry at him.
