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.
Lindon
Alwin prevented Jacob from making a mana explosion when he was about to be executed. He had cast a spell in advance which prevented Jacob from using magic. This was why the trial and execution went well without any incidents.
With the execution over, Arabella and Ferdinand returned to the mansion, as Alwin went after the soul who escaped.
There was a ton of work to do so while catching up with work, they waited for Alwin to return. But even after two days, he did not come back. He had not contacted Ferdinand or Riley either.
Arabella was beginning to get worried. Meanwhile, her husband was all chill about it. Perhaps it was because he believed in Alwin's abilities and trusted him.
But Alwin still had most of his limiters, what he could do here was still limited. What if there were other magicians waiting to ambush him?
