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.
Arabella fully agreed with Esmeralda's thoughts. She also knew Alwin was powerful but this was over the top.
Can someone even defeat him?
Is there anyone out there more powerful than he was?
As far as Arabella knew, Ferdinand's asset was physical strength. She learned that he could also use magic but she doesn't know to what extent.
But since her husband enjoys duels, she surmised Ferdinand was more specialized in combat.
If Alwin ever betrayed Ferdinand, it would be far too dangerous. Thankfully, he was loyal to Ferdinand.
[She's looking at him with those shining eyes again. Has she ever even looked at me that way before?] Ferdinand sulkily thought and Arabella almost sighed in exasperation.
'Can't Ferdinand just stop giving such meaning to everything?'
She wanted to frown or glare at him but when she peeked at his face, he looked so envious and forlorn so she felt bad.
