Bab 377: Allies for Now

"I was powerless, Alwin.

I didn't have this mind-reading ability to know the truth everyone was hiding.

I didn't have memories of a past life that would tell me this and that, or something I could use as my basis for future actions.

I thought I had nothing.

That I had no power of my own.

And I thought my family had betrayed me.

Thus, I never asked for their help and resorted to plotting.

I thought I was all by myself.

And I didn't know what else to do so I simply maximized what I thought I could use back then," Arabella replied to Alwin's question.

That made Alwin silent since he actually understood that much.

"I regret cheating on Ferdinand.

And I don't plan on doing it now, so you don't have to worry about it.

And you were mistaken in believing I never loved Ferdinand.

I fell in love with him just a few days after the wedding.

And I soon forgot about Andrew and longed for Ferdinand.

I had sleepless nights thinking of how to make him a bit less cold to me.
