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.
Arabella frowned at the Marquess. Was it better to make his people go hungry and suffer than to admit that more than half of their harvest was ruined?
Even Arabella was prideful but she was not so prideful to not seek help in such a situation.
Marquess Sibruh's territory was vast but not a lot of parts could be used for living or agriculture so the territory did not have many improvements over the years.
And this year, as Arabella continued to listen to the Marquess' thoughts, she learned that his territory had a good harvest.
However, a lot of the grains and produce were ruined before they were stored properly due to rat and pest infestation.
Thus, the marquessate did not have enough food supply.
But Marquess Sibruh was too prideful and did not want it to be known that he made a mistake and did not have the harvest stored properly as soon as possible.
