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.
Board and Lodging
Arabella thought all the Head Households of the territories in Valeria were given a piece of land in Riva where they could build their residence in the capital.
'I have to get this checked. Would Alwin be fine with checking it for me? Ferdinand did give me permission to use his mage as I please.'
She felt bad for Alwin but she needed his help. Alwin still had a lot of hostile thoughts about her so if necessary, she would have to use Ferdinand's promise which allows her to bully the former.
Like Ivan, Nadia and Odette preferred to begin working right away. It was because the sooner they work, the sooner they can get a salary to send to their homeland.
The two were also on a tight budget and cannot afford to stay in the capital without working as soon as possible. Going home to their territories meant another expense so they would rather begin working as soon as possible.
