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.
"Alright. You may tag along. But only if Elrond approves of it. Go ask for his permission first," Ferdinand agreed for Alvis to go with him after Arabella's explanation.
"I will. I was planning to speak with him anyway."
With that, Alvis said his goodbyes to pay a visit to Elrond next.
The others inside the room bowed and excused themselves as well since they didn't need to guard her closely anymore with Ferdinand around.
"He's finally gone," Ferdinand sighed and wrapped his arms around Arabella's waist.
It didn't seem to be enough for him since he carried her to his lap and held her tighter. Burying his face in the crook of her neck.
"What's wrong? Do you not get along with Alvis?" Arabella wondered since his acting like he was trying to comfort himself by doing this.
"Alvis?" Ferdinand frowned at hearing Alvis' first name from her.
