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.
Donation [Bonus chapter]
Arabella's visits to Prudencia and Safiro helped a lot of people, but they also triggered quite dangerous enemies.
[It seems there are more people out there who are targeting my wife. We need to find them before they get to do anything more.] Ferdinand held her hand and gently pressed it, assuring her that he would do his best to protect her from all of it.
Ferdinand decided that Lindon would be used as bait for his accomplices. They would only imprison him in the meantime to lure out his master, or at least some of his allies, which in turn, they could use for more information gathering.
This was so they could crush the source itself instead of just the underlings who were simply following instructions and were replaceable.
Ferdinand's goal was to completely eliminate the threat instead of letting them gain more power over time.
"Well done, Alwin. Take some rest for now. We will discuss this more later," Ferdinand copied Arabella and sent Alwin for a break.
