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.
Giants
Ferdinand then explained that among his cohorts, Rendell and his kind were among the ones who cannot pick up her scent at all.
Rendell did not know the scent of Arabella's pheromones and can only determine the smell of the artificial human scents on her.
This was why Ferdinand picked Rendell to be her personal guard.
Aside from being competent enough to beat Ferdinand's strict requirements, Rendell could be exposed to her scent daily without any problems.
It was also why Ferdinand was not wary of Rendell but got jealous of Raymond and Alwin.
Not being able to pick up Arabella's pheromones removed the possibility of Rendell ever considering her as a possible mate.
"Right, I still don't know what Rendell is," Arabella inquired.
"He is a giant," Ferdinand revealed.
"Oh, giants also exist?! How huge is he then?"
"Forty meters tall. He's among the remaining bigger giants of the younger generations. He looks exactly just like he does now but simply a bigger version."
