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.
[Someone more powerful than His Eminence? No way! He is said to be the most powerful magician in all of Eliora. No, in the whole world.]
"No, Your Majesty."
"Indeed. If there was, that person would have been recruited to the Magic Tower already before they had a chance to apply for the selection. His Excellency had also ensured that none of that would happen. I believe he is known for his attention to detail and he truly did foresaw such things may happen, so he had asked His Eminence for help."
[What should I do?! I didn't know His Excellency was the one who prepared the selection. Clarisse will get angry and scold me that I'm ruining her husband's reputation. If she tells Father and Mother, I will be punished.]
'Oh, so they punish her. What kind of punishment do they give her? Her parents seem to be strict, yet she was also pampered. She seems more scared of them than me.'
