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.
With Narcissa's new questions, it became clear that she also knew a lot about Valeria. But Ivan also did.
Narcissa kept asking questions to the point she was so frustrated she rose from her seat as she thought of more questions and threw them at Ivan. But Ivan answered it all correctly until she ran out of questions she thought were difficult.
"Then, what about this, tell me everything you know about Ryvaleh," Narcissa said out of frustration.
"But that will take days," Ivan replied.
[This bastard! Is he saying he knows so much about my homeland? There's no way he would know more than I do, so I'd be able to tell if he said something wrong.] Narcissa thought he was being overconfident.
He was only speaking the truth though since he had read a lot about Ryvaleh and all other territories in Valeria.
