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.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the four replied. They had no complaints since they needed more hands.
However, they still had her worries.
[I hope she will not lord her position over us.]
[His Eminence is such a powerful figure in the Empire. Not even the most powerful noble houses can control him. What if his fiancee would treat as badly because of that?]
[I saw her with Her Majesty last time and she was such a beauty. What if she tries to compete with Her Majesty instead of acting like a handmaiden?]
[She looks like she was Her Majesty's age. What if she becomes Her Majesty's favorite and she no longer pays attention to us?]
The four ladies were worried but did not dare say it.
Arabella smiled knowingly and said, "Do not fret. Blanca is quite a spirited person but she is kind. If she does anything inappropriate, you should report it to me immediately."
