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.
When Arabella woke up, it was already morning. She wanted to see Ferdinand off but Rendell informed her that he had already departed with Alwin and the knights. The investigators were already in Prudencia.
'So Alwin could actually teleport a lot of people? What was I worrying about?'
She could actually bring a few people with her the next time she travels.
The difference between Dimo and Alwin's abilities was too great. She ended up underestimating Alwin a bit.
'I really should just think he could do everything so I wouldn't have to limit what I ask him to do. I already have Ferdinand's permission to bully him anyway.'
Her maids helped her with her daily morning preparations before she had breakfast.
Once she was done, she asked Eunice to summon Odette to her office.
"Greetings to Her Majesty, the Empress," Odette curtsied with the usual greetings. She looked stiff and nervous.
