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.

Hi, everyone!

[He was called a Dark Emperor, but his people looked happy.]

Arabella smiled at their observation, feeling proud of her husband and everyone who worked hard to keep this peace and prosperity.

This was Riva, the Capital of Valeria.

And of course, it was the most developed city in the empire since a lot of resources were gathered here.

A lot of noble households also have a residence here, and they did well in showing off to each other, which helped in keeping the capital beautiful.

Further, Riva enjoyed Valeria's riches the most, so the people here are far more relaxed than in other parts of the empire.

[All we have heard about him are negative rumors.

[Is this why the Pope said he agreed for us to accompany him, not for his safety, but for our learning experience?]

Cassandra and the paladins were amazed at the prosperity, peace, and order in the city.
