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.
Julia was smart and had been doing her best to avoid dangerous situations but it appears that she had been doing everything on her own. She needed to discipline and educate her maids about her ways as well if she doesn't want to trigger other kingdoms.
Beth was quite naive to think that she could get away with just getting herself punished after doing something that could have triggered the anger of three kingdoms.
"Lahar would not take this sitting down. My family would be furious if they learned about this as well. And my husband is already seething."
Arabella was trying to make Beth understand the weight of her actions since she doesn't understand that what she did was not at all protecting her family. It only put her family in more danger since she had triggered the anger of more people.
Beth had no time to fear Lucille right now. What she should fear were the three foes she just triggered. Valeria, Lahar, and Lobelius all at the same time.
