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.
The Hope to Return Home
It was clear from Nadia's older brothers' appearance that they had indeed gone through tough times.
They all had a muscular build from working hard as mercenaries for years and from their background as former warriors.
Bernardo, now the eldest had an eyepatch in one eye. He got injured in a mission to kill monsters and lost his sight in his left eye.
Miguel and Manuel both lost half an arm each also from hunting monsters. They also had scars on their faces from former injuries.
The other warriors also had scars and signs of injury here and there but their eyes all looked resolute.
"Please forgive our unsightly appearance. We had been battling monsters the past months."
Bernardo, Miguel, Manuel, and the warriors of Safiro bowed to Arabella and Raymond in apology.
From Bernardo's thoughts, Arabella learned that Nadia's siblings along with the other warriors had kept trying to enter Safiro two months after Nadia was caught.
