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.
Strong Rejection [Bonus chapter]
"You don't have to worry. There were a lot of fun times too even when I was alone," Ferdinand assured her.
"Fun times?" Arabella looked into his eyes and almost gasped at the sight she saw.
It was a view from high up above. The mountain range was beautifully covered with white snow but it was desolate and lonely.
The cat-sized Ferdinand apparently grew to the size of a dog, soon to a colt, then a mature horse, and grew more with time as he was able to hunt more food.
He first experienced flying when he was the size of a colt. And as his body grew, his wingspan did as well until he was able to fly much higher, farther, and faster.
Ferdinand enjoyed flying once he learned he could fly.
There were a lot of times he fell face-first on the snow when he was still learning to fly and overexerted himself. But, he eventually got better at it with time, until he could soar the skies as he pleased and hunt as much as he wanted.
