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.
It Just Felt a Bit Hot
'When I was young, I used to fear death a lot. But now, why is it so different?' she wondered why she could think of her death and easily accept it. Was it because she had already experienced it once?
Arabella rose and walked to the edge of the balcony and stared at the scenery. Her back turned to Ferdinand. But she could still feel his eyes on her.
"Do you dislike the idea of being with me forever?" Ferdinand asked in a melancholic voice.
[Right. She had no choice but to marry me. Why would she want to live with me much more than a normal human's life?]
She glanced at Ferdinand. He had downturned lips, his shoulders sagged, and his eyes were cast down.
'He's depressed now. What should I say to cheer him up?'
"It's not like that. I just recalled Esmeralda and I thought it would be sad and lonely to keep longing for someone who's already gone," Arabella quickly replied.
