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.
At the Flower Garden
Once the celebration was over, Arabella was exhausted from all the thoughts she had to process.
Still, she was grateful for all the things she learned today. She didn't expect she would learn more about Ferdinand and Raymond. She was happy she learned more information about them.
Getting to know people and forming connections were also fruitful. Too fruitful that it was somewhat scary.
Those connections were still shaky but they could build trust along the way as time passes and they work together.
"My apologies for not informing Your Majesty earlier about my mother," Raymond said when they were in the carriage heading back to the Imperial Palace.
He finally told Arabella that the necklace she was wearing was recommended by Theresa.
