Chapter 97 - 97: The Sisters' Secret
As the sun rose the following day, casting its golden rays across the sleepy streets of their neighborhood, Julius and Arun were awakened by the maids, who carried joyous news; Louise finally woke up after such a long time.
Despite the healer's visit, the young girl showed no sign of waking up in the past week, leaving the trio filled with worry and uncertainty about her condition. Each day seemed to drag on, the air heavy with the scent of medicinal herbs and the room bathed in the soft glow of candlelight as they watched over her.
After catching wind of the news, the two boys sprang into action without a moment's delay. Their hurried steps echoed through the house. Anticipation fueled their every move as they raced to the girl's side, eager to extend their heartfelt thanks for her invaluable help.
However, as they reached Louise's room and caught a glimpse of the girl inside, they couldn't help but be shocked by her appearance. The unremarkable Louise they knew had transformed into a youthful and stunning woman.
"Are you really Louise?" Arun voiced his doubts with a frown while Julius nodded, agreeing with his question.
"Yes?" Louise replied, her head tilting as her long black hair fluttered around her. Initially failing to comprehend the question, she was happy to see them before something clicked in her memory.
Her emerald eyes darted left and right in panic,
"I bet you must be starving after sleeping for so long," Julius said with a smile after sensing the conversation take such a serious turn, "Want to have breakfast?"
Louise nodded at Julius with a smile, her eyes regaining light. She was grateful he didn't treat her differently despite learning about her origins. After all, in the noble community, nothing was more shameful than a bastard.
As they sat down for breakfast, the atmosphere lightened. Louise, now relieved of her secret burden, shared tales of her past with Julius and Arun. Laughter echoed through the room, breaking the tension that had lingered for days.
Just as the morning sun bathed them in its warmth, the door burst open. Asha stood in the doorway, her eyes widening in surprise at the awakened Louise. The room fell silent as everyone awaited her reaction.
