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.
A Better Mindset
"Oh, and I swear I'm trying hard to learn more about noble etiquette here in Riva, so I won't irritate you. Odette is educating me," Nadia added.
"You do need to learn a lot of things when it comes to etiquette, but I promise I won't embarrass you in front of the others anymore."
Narcissa was bothered by Nadia's lack of manners especially in her speech.
Arabella was already planning to address that too. But it seems Odette had already volunteered to teach Nadia.
"Since you promised not to do any of those anymore, I also accept your apology. Please keep your words," Odette accepted as well.
Even if it was just Narcissa, they were still pressured to accept her apology since she was from a much higher-ranking territory. They were still not used to the policies of the civil service that made them all equal unless they were given higher job titles or positions.
