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.
A Child Hungry for Affection
Valeria's side seemed to have had more progress with investigations since Arabella already knew Risa and Lucille had no part in it.
It was such a relief. Lucille thought she would die here today.
But then, her former plot was brought up. Now she regretted having her parents with her. The look of disappointment on their faces hurt.
Her mother would surely get even worse from now on. And now her father was disappointed in her too.
What will happen to her now? She had no more future in Obrusca with both of her parents disappointed in her.
Still, what was important right now was she escaped death. But it seems it would constantly chase her from now on.
The Dark Emperor's words were not a threat. It was clear on his face that he was simply stating a fact. He truly could kill her whenever he wanted. And he truly didn't mind declaring war on Obrusca.
Ah, but wouldn't that be for the best?
Lucille had no future there anymore anyway.
