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.
"I missed, Your Majesty. I wanted to see you the other day. But I heard you were busy, so I waited for you to visit instead," Dimo acted all cute.
Seeing him like this made Arabella smile.
Yes, this was the kind of Dimo she wanted to see.
The cuteness, childishness, and playfulness at his age suited him.
Seeing him with expressions like these was such a treat. Especially when she recalls how barely alive his eyes were in the past.
No, that wasn't right. In their past life, by the time Arabella knew Dimo, his eyes were dead. Dimo only lived for his revenge.
Arabella only saw Dimo's eyes change a bit after he had exacted his revenge. There was relief in his eyes. But now that she thought about it, he still didn't look happy or anything. His eyes were still dead.
Rather, he looked like he was ready to die anytime after he had his revenge and had the Olivier duchy entrusted to someone he could trust.
