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.
Steps for the Future
It wasn't until after two days that Arabella was able to see Alwin again.
She thought they would be able to talk again.
However, they did not get the chance to speak in private since Arabella and Ferdinand attended meetings and events as the Assembly was ending.
There were banquets and balls they had to attend for socialization purposes, especially since Ferdinand planned to join the Council.
Such events were important steps for the future so they took part in them.
They even joined tea parties here and there.
The King of Crux also invited them to one and they agreed since Ferdinand wanted to further hasten the return of the Prudencians that were still in Crux.
Ferdinand pressured the said king since Adolfo was no longer there to keep preventing it from happening.
Most Prudencians who were once in Crux were now back in Valeria.
But there were still some in the farther parts of Crux that kept using the distance as a reason why they haven't returned them yet.
