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.
Working for Her Homeland
Due to the hopelessness of the situation, Nadia's second older brother Bernardo faked his own death for a chance to take the risk of getting out of Safiro.
A loyal warrior who was sick and dying proposed to have his corpse be used so that even if Dempsey's men dug up the grave, they would find it had a corpse in it.
With this, Bernardo who was among the best warriors left in Safiro was able to escape.
'They have to go that far?! Would Count Dempsey truly have graves checked?! That's too much.'
Arabella was horrified. Wasn't it a human being's barest minimum to at least respect the dead's body and not mess with it anymore? Why would Count Dempsey go as far as having it dug up?
"Count Dempsey was wary of us siblings. He had already imprisoned the Chief and the first heir but he still feared we might be able to do something," Nadia answered Arabella's unvoiced question. It was obvious because of her expression.
