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.
Chapter 849
It was disgusting. Why should he marry a woman that doesn't even understand how hard he had worked and yet just reaps from the fruits of his efforts and then ruins it?
Claudius thought that marrying such a woman would only bring nothing but trouble to him. Their dukedom might just fall into pieces in her hands.
He thought that she would learn and mature a bit as she grows up. But even after three years of observing her secretly, he didn't see any change that would convince him that she would be a good duchess someday.
Claudius gave up on believing in her and just decided to ignore her. He would bid his time and look for a way to cancel the engagement.
Moreover, he had been going on expeditions and battles when the King ask for knights. And in those expeditions, Claudius discovered that there was so much more in this world than being his father's obedient son, pleasing his parents, or becoming the duke.
