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.
After the announcements, the musicians began playing songs for dancing.
The newly engaged couples were the first ones to dance this time as a form of showing off their ties and making the engagement official.
After they were done, everyone was invited to join.
Ferdinand was busy conversing with other rulers, so Arabella busied herself as well.
She wanted him to be her first dance today since it was the last day of the Assembly.
However, even though she was conversing with other queens, there were those who came to ask for a dance.
Arabella had no choice but to dance with them so she wouldn't seem haughty because she was an Empress loved by her husband.
She internally complained when Ferdinand saw her dancing with others and did not react.
He didn't mind her having her first dance today with someone else.
He simply kept conversing with the kings.
But then again, it was the last day of the Assembly, so she figured there must be things they wanted to settle.
