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.
"Yes, of course. Rest assured I will only send someone to check," Arabella glanced at Alwin and he nodded.
Alwin telepathically communicated with Riley. {Come and see these and check if there are indeed Prudencians there.}
Riley then entered and awaited instructions.
"Please verify if these locations have Prudencians indeed," Arabella instructed and Riley examined the map.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will return posthaste," Riley bowed to Arabella and teleported to Crux.
[He went to Crux just like that?!] Princess Seraphina gulped.
Pretending not to notice her guests' surprise, Arabella smiled and suggested, "Let's have some refreshments while waiting for his return."
Blanca promptly came forward and served them some snacks.
[It had been a while since we began speaking but the snacks are still warm.]
