Darkholm Translation

CHAPTER 001 Late autumn rain poured incessantly in the deep mountains. Darkness quickly filled the void left by the setting sun. A small, frail figure climbed the steep, unmarked mountain like a nimble squirrel. “Whoa, whoa….” Her legs tangled as she sprinted along the muddy path. She flailed her arms to regain balance, but, “Ahhhh, ouch…!” Eventually, she slipped and fell into a puddle. The girl stood up, frowning in pain, and patted her waist and hips with her fists. Her clothes were already soaked and muddy, in complete disarray. Her sleeves and skirt hem were torn in several places. “Thank goodness I didn’t break the medicine bottle.” She sighed in relief, clutching a small glass bottle to her chest. White breath puffed out into the cold air as she wiped the rain from her eyes and resumed climbing the mountain. After a while, the dense forest gave way to a cliff with a waterfall. Panting, Arabelle stepped onto the slippery rocks and began to leap from stone to stone across the rive...

CHAPTER 132 "Did you start liking him over the past few days? Why do you like him?" "Because he's cute." "Cute?" At those words, Lewis frowned as if he couldn't believe it. "Don't you think he's not cute at all?" "He's young. There was a bit of childlike innocence." Although he did look at me and Bella with eyes that seemed to have lived two lives. Then Lewis stared at me. He was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then muttered. "Come to think of it, you liked being called 'noona' (older sister), didn't you?" "Noona? Bella liked it?" It seemed like Bella simply liked being called 'noona' by Lewis. "No, you. You liked it when I called you that the first time." "Wow, you remember that?" So perceptive. When I admitted it straightforwardly, a faint smile appeared on Lewis's lips. His eyes sparkled mischievously... I always felt uneasy w...

CHAPTER 131 It was Lewis. It seemed that Lewis had returned. "Lewis? Is it really you?" It was so dark that I couldn't see it! As I called out to Lewis in the darkness, he waved his hand. Then the lights turned on. He was lying on his side, propping his chin up. He wore the same outfit he had on the day he visited the Duke's mansion. He had taken off his vest and was only wearing a white shirt, lazily smiling like the Lewis I knew. "Did you miss me a lot while I was gone?" "Lewis!" I abruptly sat up. "Sigh." A sigh of relief escaped my lips before I knew it. "I was so worried about what would happen if you didn't return!" "Why does Bella always have to cause trouble with her potions?" Lewis clicked his tongue at Bella. But it seemed Bella's shock therapy had worked, seeing that he had returned to normal... "Do you remember everything that happened while you were young?" "Yes, I remember everythin...

CHAPTER 130 "That won't happen." The Duke shook her head at my question. "Though Bella has been diligently studying magic lately and seems to have made a peculiar potion, Lewis is still the Master of the Tower. There's no way Lewis can't break Bella's magic on his own." "That's true, but..." "The problem is that Lewis believes he can't use magic, but once that belief is broken, it's just a matter of time." He emphasized further. "Lewis will definitely return. The only thing we should worry about is the wedding tomorrow. We can't have a child groom, can we?" A child groom? Just the thought made me dizzy. "This isn't the time for this. I'll take my leave." The Duke quickly stood up. I remained in the drawing room, anxious. If Lewis realizes he's a wizard, then it's just a matter of time? I treated him like a child because he seemed not to believe it, but if I change my attitude now...
