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.
Chapter 784: Say Your Greetings Again
"Indeed," Arabella agreed. She knew that knights prided themselves in Valeria's continuous victories. They would not accept being treated like this.
If Arabella went against this war, her image among the knights and ministers would have gone down the drain as an Empress who did not understand the pride and honor of Valeria.
Thankfully, in all the Court Sessions, she had already voiced her support in this war if Crux fails to comply as they should have done so right from the start.
Ferdinand wrote his reply and refused the King's request since he had already declared they would attack if Crux did not return all the Prudencians they still have within a week.
There was no taking back that declaration. Valeria would look like a coward and Crux would act all haughty if they did.
All preparations for the war were also already complete.
Plus, the agreement with Princess Seraphina and the Anti-Slavery Faction was already set in motion.
