Reborn as a Mind-Reading Empress
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.
Lure Them Here
While everyone was still disorganized, Ferdinand wanted to get out of the hall first to avoid everyone crowding later.
Arabella understood why her husband thought that way.
The others thought it was safer to stay inside the building while the knights fight the monsters outside.
But if the building was surrounded, it meant they would be trapped.
They wanted to believe the monsters would not be able to reach the building.
But what if the knights failed to stop some of the monsters?
The others were even in denial that they were truly seeing monsters.
People truly had various reactions when exposed to danger.
Arabella was relieved she at least accepted that danger was there and she needed to get to safety. And that place would be wherever Ferdinand and Alwin went.
If it was outside, then it was outside. It could be anywhere else as well as long as she was with them.
