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.
Umbra
Adolfo was the leader of a group called Umbra which trades slaves all over the Eliora continent.
Umbra was an organization of slave traders from various kingdoms on the continent.
Its leader had long been undisclosed and remained secret but it was apparently Adolfo. He had simply pretended to be just the owner of the largest slave trading company in Crux to not catch the eyes of the Council.
And yet, Medeus itself was where the purchase usually happened since it was where nobles from various kingdoms were typically gathered.
The slave trade happened right under the nose of the Council even though most kingdoms in Eliora already condemn it.
Umbra was also the same organization Gulliver had supplied with Prudencians to be sold over the continent.
"Heh. I see. It's high time they pay the price," Ferdinand decided to crush Umbra.
Meaning, it would be catching two birds with one stone. They get to rescue a lot of Prudencians and catch the mastermind of Arabella's poisoning.
