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.
[Heh. They are making a show because of what I said last time. But I can tell they still hadn't gone all the way.] King Chester did not believe what he saw.
Arabella almost glared at Chester, but she noticed Marcus looking at her, so she hid her face in Ferdinand's chest instead.
[So that's the most beautiful woman in Eliora? She is indeed pretty, but she doesn't have the innocent charm the late Queen Evelyn once had. I heard this Empress is still young, but her aura somehow oozed of someone much older than she looks. She doesn't look innocent at all.]
'Are magicians able to tell?1' Arabella tensed.
However, Marcus only thought she seemed older than her age but didn't think she was weird or anything.
[The late Queen Evelyn is still revered as the most beautiful woman ever born in Zygos, even now. Queen Fatima nor her children were not able to change it. Even the younger generation among the Leonharts couldn't.] Marcus thought and Arabella tilted her head.
