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 naive 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 son. 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 right beside her. 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 doesn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too,” that was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. And in her second life, Arabella was bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.
Let’s Visit Tomorrow
"I see. You can return to Valeria. I'll tell Ferdinand."
Arabella knew Riley had to return quickly since he was swamped with work since Alwin was not around.
Riley then thanked her and left since he had nothing else to report to Ferdinand. He had already said it while Arabella was asleep when Ferdinand summoned him.
'Then, this isn't the time to be relaxing,' Arabella closed the book she was reading and planned about what to do next instead.
Riley said that when Duke Olivier arrived at his duchy, the attempts on his life did not stop and worsened instead.
Sonia and the butler were getting desperate, likely out of fear that Dimo would suddenly return one day to expose them.
Before that happens, they were set to eliminate the Duke.
Thus, they even poisoned the Duke's tea right when he reached home so he would have no chance to say anything to them, in case, he had somehow heard from someone that something was going on.
