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.
Arabella wanted to stop Ferdinand again since it was embarrassing to kiss in front of everyone like this.
But she cannot keep rejecting her husband in front of all these people. Her maids and guards might further conclude they had a fight. And they had kissed in front of her the knights before anyway.
'Ugh. Fine. Whatever. I will soothe and calm him first.' She thought she already succeeded earlier but it seems not.
Arabella wrapped her arms around Ferdinand's neck and kissed him back. She could tell he was the one who was wide-eyed this time since he stopped moving for a second or two before kissing her again.
Everyone should have looked away but she could tell they were watching in surprise instead. She could feel their eyes and hear their thoughts.
[Her Majesty is more assertive than she looks.] Rendell thought. The guards and maids thought the same.
[How many times do I have to see this? They were never this showy before.] Alwin complained.
