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.
Tribute
To Arabella, it simply didn't feel right for all the children to be working. They should be able to enjoy their childhood. They should still be playing and learning as much as they could.
Working should have been for the adults.
As the Empress of Valeria, what could she do for these children? She wanted to help them somehow.
Would Gulliver getting arrested solve this?
The problem with slavery perhaps. But not the problem of food supply.
'Was there no nearby territory with excess produce that Prudencia could import from?'
If Prudencia had problems with food shortage, couldn't it have been solved by importing food?
Or was the financial problem so bad they could not even afford to import?
Arabella looked around the market.
Her head instantly ached as thoughts from so many people flooded her. It was hard to focus as so many random thoughts filled her mind. It made her truly dizzy and nauseous but she did her best to pretend to be fine.
