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 naive 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 son. 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 right beside her. 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 doesn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too,” that was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. And in her second life, Arabella was bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.
Assistants
Lobelius was a prosperous land so Arabella never experienced having to work hard to earn money for the sake of her people.
Her monthly allowance as a princess was more than enough to help build an orphanage and take care of the workers' pay as well.
Meanwhile, Nadia and Odette put down their pride as princesses and royal blood just to help and save their people.
To Arabella who had been so absorbed with revenge for a decade, their souls are shining so brightly, she was almost envious. She needed these good souls by her side so she won't be led astray again.
Arabella decided to hire them and try to help them. After all, she did not know these two were actually very capable. They passed the Imperial Civil Service Exam and now their scores in the tasks given by the ministers were very high.
Nadia and Odette could be good assistants to her since they are desperate to work hard for their homeland. If Arabella helped them out, they might end up as her allies for life.
