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.
Arabella was relieved that although they are also competitive, the others decided to just do their assigned task.
'Now, how should I deal with these three? Are they underestimating the value of serving food?'
She already knew they were well-versed with the sword and received knight's training.
However, it was experience that they lacked.
They had never been to the battlefield and had lived more comfortably and sheltered than others till now.
Hence, Arabella was worried they would be traumatized if they saw the Prudencians just as they were right after they were rescued.
It was why she was only willing to assign Nadia there at first since Nadia was a battle-hardened warrior and already experienced helping the rescued Prudencians before without even needing Arabella ordering her to do so.
Nadia would not be satisfied in a safer but lighter task when she knew she could help in something she was more suited with.
