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 seemed that the princess was willing to adhere to Arabella's conditions, albeit with a slight modification to include her own companions.
'One knight and two servants should be fine. I'll be able to hear their thoughts anyway,' Arabella said after she read the letter. She passed it to Alwin so he could read it as well.
Arabella already knew Seraphina would likely request for her guards to be present as well so this was not a difficult request from the princess.
[Just one knight and two servants? Are they sure about this? We did not mention that only Rendell and I will be there with her. Is it because of what they saw in Medeus? We were the ones usually near her.]
Arabella and Alwin exchanged glances, silently assessing the implications of Princess Seraphina's response.
