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 naive 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 son. 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 right beside her. 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 doesn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too,” that was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. And in her second life, Arabella was bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.
Unexpected Sight
Sera got even more nervous because of Andrew and Ferdinand's exchange.
She was scared of Ferdinand since in addition to his negative reputation, he was so huge.
"Please be rest assured. My husband is kind and gentle," Arabella told Sera.
If she was too stiff while dancing due to fear of Ferdinand, she might trip.
It would be dangerous since Sera was pregnant.
The other royals who heard Arabella's words almost dropped the glasses they were drinking wine from.
Some even choked and coughed repeatedly.
"Please don't mind them. He is usually misunderstood," Arabella added with a light chuckle.
Though his face remained expressionless, the tips of Ferdinand's ears reddened slightly because of Arabella's words.
[No one ever said I'm kind and gentle.
Sometimes I wonder where she gets the compliments she has for me.] Ferdinand thought.
He was sure he wasn't any of the two, but it was still nice to hear that his beloved wife thought of him that way.
