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.
Arrival in Medeus
The journey to Medeus became more exhausting than it should be due to the constant attacks from assassins. They were truly trying to get on Ferdinand's nerves. He wanted to join the fight himself due to irritation but he didn't dare to leave Arabella alone.
Arabella and Ferdinand didn't get the chance to talk about anything aside from the reports coming from Alwin and the knights.
During the nights, they were not in the mood to be intimate either since Arabella was tired from the carriage ride and Ferdinand was on alert expecting more assassins to attack.
Their supposedly short journey to Medeus felt longer due to this, but after a few days, they finally arrived unscathed.
Arabella's carriage which had been targeted all the time did not even earn a single scratch.
Alwin and Riley also ensured not a single scratch was present among the knights or their weapons and armor. They made it seem as if the journey was smooth sailing the whole time.
