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.
You Keep Count?
Arabella teased Ferdinand a bit more until his face and ears were both red.
Only then, did she finally stop and changed the topic since she felt bad for him.
But then, their topic went back to her scent and her pheromones. And her husband brought up Alwin again.
"Alwin can smell your scent too and knows your pheromones smell like flowers and something sweet. Even though he is unaffected since he is still disinterested in marriage, he might get attached to your scent if he stays in this confined space with you every day. What if he began getting addicted to your scent? I don't ever want to share you even with Alwin. I raised that brat, but I will never allow him to take you away from me," Ferdinand eyed her with a serious look in his eyes.
She just gave him kisses earlier but here he was again.
But if her scent can indeed do such things, it was better to avoid it.
Alwin would not fall for her, but she didn't want him to possibly develop a weird addiction to her scent either.
