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.
Meanwhile, others thought it was only a baseless rumor. But now, Alwin confirmed it himself.
Most of the nobles were depressed that Alwin already had a fiancee and even brought her here as Arabella's maid. It meant he was building her future since he was serious about her. Meaning, they might have plans to get married soon.
Thus, the nobles no longer had a chance to set up their daughters with him.
[Hmm. Wait. If His Eminence is no longer available, isn't that knight still single?]
The noble all had the same thought and Rendell flinched as all fathers in the room eyed him with a predatory glint in their eyes as they calculated his value.
Rendell was quite famous for being a mad dog on the battlefield so he was known as Ferdinand's black hound.
