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.
"Blanca's growth was just stunted due to suffering from injuries. When I healed her completely a day ago and gave her some of my mana, her body grew to how it was supposed to be," Alwin explained.
"I… I see." Arabella was still so surprised that she kept staring and scrutinizing Blanca.
'Right. I did hear it from Blanca's thoughts last time. But it was still so shocking to really see it for myself. It means her pegasus body is of an adult now too, right?'
[That's the supposed reaction.] Alwin nodded his head. [She had been too accepting of everything I said about other races last time that I am beginning to wonder if she was a different person. The former her would probably have been more shocked. Ah, but then again, even after she died, she was still so gullible. She just believed everything I said as the truth. If I had lied then, she would have been listening to lies all her life.]
