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.
What Did I Do?
[Human children are especially fragile. I've seen countless of them die so early for the most random reasons. A fall from this might break a bone or two. If his head or neck hit something, he might die.]
'He's worried,' Arabella smiled at her husband. 'But he could have said that a bit more gently instead of scolding Dimo who's already depressed.'
{Look at him. He might cry any second.}
{Why?!} Ferdinand was wide-eyed when he realized Arabella was right.
[What did I do? I merely told him to sit properly. What's wrong with that? If he fell, he could have gotten hurt, or even worse.]
{I know what you mean. You were worried about him. But Dimo doesn't know. He thought you were merely scolding him. And he's especially sensitive right now since he's emotional and nervous to be back in this place, his supposed home that almost ended his life. Imagine how that would feel for a ten-year-old child.}
Arabella explained and Ferdinand paled as he realized she was right.
