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.
With the agreement with Julia and Beth done, Arabella returned to the mansion and reported what transpired to her husband. He was waiting by the door ever since he sensed them returning.
After it was verified that Lucille was the plotter and main culprit for what happened, Ferdinand wanted to catch Lucille immediately.
But Ferdinand also held back since King Neville was still the Head of the Council and the current representative of Medeus. He decided to wait since King Neville would step down once this Assembly was over.
After all, even if they get Lucille now, they wouldn't be able to punish her as they wanted once King Neville pleads for her.
Thus, they had to wait until the Assembly was over.
Further, if Lucille was related to the production and distribution of the drugs added to Andrew's drink, even her father would not be able to protect her.
Arabella and Ferdinand then focused on having the drug investigated first and observing Lucille to see her next steps.
