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.
"I have heard about it since childhood and read official accounts and books about it. My family gets educated about all the wars that happen in Valeria because my grandfather and those before him were once the Grand Commander of the Imperial Knights.
"Moreover, Her Majesty can gather her own knights. We can enlist on it once she makes one so we can serve as her guards and likewise her assistants," Oscar explained, and Narcissa could no longer rebut him.
'Oh, I can do that? In what section of the law is that stated? I can actually gather my own knights,' Arabella nodded her head.
Oscar just gave her an idea.
'Perhaps in the future, once I have a better reputation,' Arabella thought.
For now, Ferdinand's knights were the ones guarding her and her people. If she was able to gather her own knights, she could gather people loyal to her. If there are. She would have to work hard for that.
