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.
Ferdinand then sent Riley with their guests for him to bring back the items with him.
"We are forever grateful to Your Majesty for making this possible," their guests bowed.
Princess Seraphina and her companions repeatedly thanked Arabella before departing.
Riley teleported them back to their previous locations.
With their guests gone, it was also time for them to retire.
Their discussions with the delegates from Crux had been more productive than they thought so they spent hours without realizing it.
Moreover, though they were also initially concerned about Arabella's safety due to the risks it entailed, they gave her a lot of praise for making tonight's venture possible through her prior meeting with Princess Seraphina.
"You all did well. Keep this meeting a secret for now. We will talk about this more later. You are all dismissed," Ferdinand praised before making everyone leave.
