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.
Confidence
Fear and panic were evident in the Safirans' eyes.
After all, for years, all the Safirans did was work in the mines day and night just to be able to eat.
Not only did they become dependent to Count Dempsey, but also lost their sense of self, and their confidence was crushed.
After all, the Safirans became prisoners and slave-like in their own beloved land to the point that some of them had to escape from it in order to survive and live better lives. It was such a painful and demoralizing experience to the Safirans.
The people of Safiro were once independent, bold, and free.
But Dempsey had targeted those traits as if telling the Safirans that they were not as strong as they thought. That they had nothing without their forest or the protection of their deity.
With what happened to Mt. Esme and the long-suffering they had gone through, most of the Safirans now believe that their guardian deity had perished.
