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 about your younger siblings?" Nadia inquired.
Everyone's gaze went to Odette, their interest caught when the younger siblings were mentioned.
Odette glanced at Arabella wordlessly asking for permission if it was alright to speak. When Arabella nodded, she replied to Nadia's query.
"Gwyneth, my sixth sibling and younger sister is doing her best in calming and reassuring the families of those who had not yet returned from Crux. Meanwhile, Frances, my seventh sibling and younger sister are watching over the education of our two youngest siblings. The three of them present with musical instruments to help boost our people's morale," Odette explained.
"Wow! Everyone is so diligent," Nadia was genuinely amazed. She could relate to Odette's siblings the most since she had felt the same in what happened to Safiro.
