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.
Duke Olivier observed his closest knights' reaction to seeing Dimo again and was relieved that they were genuinely glad Dimo was safe and sound.
[Dimo gained some weight again.]
The Duke also noticed the change.
[I thought something was wrong with his appetite because he still missed his mother. But Sonia must have been giving him glares or treating him badly behind my back, so he didn't eat much. The difference in his height and weight is very much noticeable ever since he began staying with Her Imperial Majesty.]
Duke Olivier was even more assured that for now, it was best for Dimo to stay in Valeria.
He didn't need to worry that Dimo might not be treated badly since just more than two months of Dimo staying in the Magic Tower gave such a clear difference both in the child's physical appearance and mood.
