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.
The Trial Begins [Bonus chapter]
On Arabella's part, she was already used to it due to her experience in her past life with Dimo teleporting her where she wanted to go. She was just dizzy the first time Alwin teleported her but was fine the next time.
Moreover, Ferdinand had instructed Alwin to protect her with magic so she wouldn't be affected by the teleportation.
{Alwin, use a protective spell so my wife and the children won't get dizzy.} Ferdinand instructed telepathically through the summoning ring but Arabella heard it too.
'Oh, I can also hear it if they speak telepathically. Or is it because I am also wearing a summoning ring?' Arabella had another discovery. If she could also hear their conversation, they truly wouldn't be able to keep secrets from her at all.
Ferdinand wrapped an arm around her shoulder and once everyone was ready, Alwin teleported them to Prudencia Palace.
They arrived at Prudencia Palace where Theodore and Ferdinand's knights were waiting.
