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.
"Yes, I hope that's the case.
I am saddened that you won't be by my side anymore in the future.
But I won't hold you back since you have already made up your mind.
There's nothing I can do, so I'll set you free," Arabella continued, and Renee sighed in relief.
[WHAT?!]
She cannot see Alwin, but she could tell he was gawking at her with furrowed brows.
But Arabella wasn't done speaking yet.
"I mean, I wanted to do so.
However, I wasn't the one who hired you.
It was my husband's ministers.
They are the ones whom you have to give your resignation to.
You also need to go home first and say goodbye to your family, right?"
Renee's adoptive family was quite powerful. This was why she was able to enter as Arabella's maid.
Thus, her resignation cannot simply be discussed between Arabella and her.
Arabella would have to talk about it with Ferdinand or Raymond first.
After all, Renee leaving her post could be interpreted in all sorts of ways.
