Athena_Varinder

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.

"Me?!! A mate?!!" Alwin frowned deeply in disagreement. "I would never… I don't need a mate!"

"For now, that is. But someday you will," Elder Satara chuckled at Alwin's horrified expression.

[No! I don't want to fall in love! What if I would be like His Majesty and Raymond when I find a mate?! No, no, no… The Elder must be kidding me.]

Alwin did not want to accept what Elder Satara said.

"I look forward to the day you meet a mate, Alwin. I guess, I should begin preparing a separate island for you," Ferdinand said, and Alwin was further horrified.

"No, Your Majesty. There's no need for that," Alwin quickly said when he recovered from the shock.

Ferdinand, Arabella, and Elder Satara just chuckled much to Alwin's dismay for being treated like he was acting childish. Thanks to Alwin's reaction, everyone's mood became lighter.
