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 naive 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 son. 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 right beside her. 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 doesn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too,” that was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. And in her second life, Arabella was bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.

Power Dynamics [Bonus chapter]

In other territories, the queen or empress consort was in charge of the inner court. In other words, the residential part of the palace, the king's other wives, concubines, and maids in the palace.

However, in Valeria, Arabella had no inner court to manage. It was the Head Butler's job to take care of the whole palace. And Ferdinand had no other wives or concubines. In her previous life, he didn't get a single one.

Valeria emperors usually marries only one person and that was the Empress. Valeria emperors almost never get concubines or marry a second wife. It was only in case the Empress was not able to conceive or if she dies before giving birth to an heir.

Moreover, currently, there were just a few maids. Arabella could manage them easily. But the Head Maid was already doing that task.

Arabella only has to interfere when there are complaints about the Head Maid or if they needed to hire new maids who would work close to her.
