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.
Great Sense of Danger
Julia understood that Arabella's marriage could have been ruined if she was seen with Andrew in that state and Ferdinand misunderstood.
Sera and Andrew's marriage could have been ruined as well. They could have even lost their child if something happened to Sera due to all the emotions she could have felt if she saw Andrew looking all flushed and aroused while with Arabella.
And if the other princesses and ladies had seen Arabella and Andrew in such a state, and Ferdinand and Sera were both emotional, all sorts of rumors would spread.
Arabella and Andrew would both be seen as cheaters, who, despite being married, cannot even control their urges for another's spouse, during such important times when they were supposed to be focusing on the Assembly.
For royals and nobles, concubines were usually allowed to have more children to carry on the bloodline and ensure there would be heirs so the family line and power would not decline.
