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.
He gave the people a stern gaze and waited for someone to try to refute him.
No one dared to speak as they warily glanced at the sword he was holding.

"The war with the Kingdom of Crux had begun today and we would have been there instead to retaliate against Crux' offenses and the suffering they caused to the Prudencians.
But we chose to be here to prevent this disease and pests from spreading further.
Clearing plants and burning them is not my knights and magicians' expertise either; but here they are still doing their best.
And yet, you come throwing all those accusations to them?
They do not deserve this disrespect and treatment from you after they have spent sleepless nights trying to protect you and Valeria.
The least you could do is treat them with respect after all their efforts."
