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.
Both Are Very Important
"But you were the only one he taught since you were a child, right?
Did he teach another child your age back when he began to teach you?"
Arabella heard about it from Ferdinand.
Aside from the second generation of dragons, Alwin was the only one he raised from childhood.
[No. It was only me…]
Alwin recalled about the past so Arabella was able to get a glimpse of a towering Ferdinand discussing something she did not understand.
But she could tell it was about magic.
Since Ferdinand looked so tall from Alwin's perspective, it was when he was just a child.
[Oh, right.
He only taught others who were deemed by Raymond to be worthy to get taught by him.
And they were all much older than me back then.
And up to now, he never taught children but those who needed to be polished instead.]
"See? He could have let Raymond and the others do the teaching.
Yet, he taught you himself.
And when he thought you could also learn a lot from others, didn't he hire teachers for you?"
