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.
It's true they had a lot of work to do but Arabella would not say no to a date with Ferdinand. Especially when he was planning to bring her somewhere nice.
She would gladly grab the opportunity for a date especially since Ferdinand was taking the initiative. Who knows, he might just tell her the truth of his identity on their date too.
Moreover, improving their relationship takes priority. After all, she worked just fine as the Empress in her past life. But due to their failed relationship, everything went awry.
As the key figures in the Empire, it was important that their relationship was good since whatever happened to their relationship would greatly impact Valeria.
Likewise, a time just for the two of them was also necessary every now and then. Especially with the yearly assembly in Medeus coming up. They would be busy with preparations soon.
