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.
Their Side of the Story
They realized that Arabella was just trying to verify what was true and not since Ivan may have exaggerated or downplayed some things.
"When did she begin treating you differently from how she usually does?"
"Her behavior slightly changed once Your Majesty left.
"She used to speak to everyone politely. But then, she began speaking to me, Nadia, and especially, Ivan in a less polite tone.
"She did not ask us to do anything in particular, so we simply kept working.
"I did not expect it was because she was focused on Ivan behind everyone's knowledge," Odette replied freely this time.
'Ah, so she was already planning to do it once she gets the chance? And my departure for Medeus gave her that chance?'
"I believe her attitude towards me completely changed when I accidentally saw her scolding Ivan and saying a lot of rude things to him," Odette relayed.
