Certainly! Here is the translated passage:

“Yes, tell me. I’ve been curious all along. The reason you went back to your birth father. The reason you married old Earl Oswald. You said you wanted to be a noble, but that’s not really it, is it?”

Adel took a moment to catch her breath and spoke laboriously in a hushed voice.

“I wanted… revenge.”

“Revenge?”

It was an unexpected story.

“On those who made my mother that way.”

“Your mother was attacked by a beast in the forest. You didn’t want to take revenge on the silver wolf, did you?”

Adel shook her head.

“Do you remember the villa by Garden Lake?”

“I remember. High nobles used to come often.”

“After my mother passed away, I went there by chance and heard people talking. The nobles who came to play at the villa were raising wolves. And they made them hunt people for fun.”

At the unexpected story, Christine’s head went blank.

“Really… is it?”

“My mother, who went to deliver bread, was bitten by the wolves they were raising. But it was disguised as an attack by a forest animal.”

Just recalling it was so horrifying that Adel’s whole body shivered. Her lips were tightly closed, but moisture welled up in her bloodshot eyes.

Because she still vividly remembered her mother’s cruel corpse.

“What bastards are they?”

Christine’s faint blue eyes were eerily filled with terrible killing intent.

He looked ready to go find them and tear them all apart right away.

But his anger was a comforting feeling to Adel. He felt like a part of her, filled with the same sorrow and rage.

“They’re already dead.”

“They’re dead?”

“Yeah, all of them.”

Her face, nodding calmly, was strange.

“You couldn’t possibly… You…”

Did you kill them?

Christine was startled to say that.

It couldn’t be, could it? Adel of all people.

But her face was as unfamiliar as someone else’s.

“Yes. What I poisoned wasn’t the earl, but them.”

Christine’s vision swayed.

She looked down at her hands and smiled bitterly.

“I thought I could take revenge if I became a high noble with power. That’s why I accepted Count Grills’ proposal and became the earl’s wife.”

The Adel that Christine knew was a tenderhearted girl who couldn’t even kill a bug.

A kind and good girl who was the only one who cared for her hungry self.

But the Adel who was talking calmly about killing people was terribly unfamiliar.

Had her pale face and deep green eyes ever been so cold?

So he hated those who had made her like this even more.

“Was that… the real reason you left?”

“Yes, and the real reason I stayed with that damn Earl’s family for two years.”

“Why… didn’t you say?”

“It was my mother’s business. Your father, who wanted to catch that beast, was so hurt that he was distraught. I didn’t want to rely on anyone anymore.”

Christine’s eyes reddened as he barely suppressed his growing emotions.

“My mother was like a mother to me too. You should have told me, at least…”

I could have been a little help to you then!

He couldn’t bear to feel sorry for resenting Adel all this time.

Thinking of her striving to endure that great pain alone drove him almost mad.

While Adel was having such a terrible time, he felt helpless for not knowing anything.

All those emotions were jumbled together, and Christine felt unbearable.

He was silent for a while, his head bowed, then he looked at Adel with bloodshot eyes.

“What were you to me, Adel?”

His voice sank low as he struggled to suppress the emotions that seemed about to explode.

But Adel looked at him clearly with her deep and clear eyes.

“Have you forgotten, Christine? You weren’t there then.”

“……!”

“When my mother passed away, at my mother’s funeral… You only showed up after it was all over.”

Adel didn’t tell him about the rumor that he had been seen naked in the forest.

Because the Christine she knew would never behave recklessly.

But her disappointment in him had been too great.

She had thought of him as flesh and blood.

She didn’t know if that’s why she left without saying anything. It wasn’t because she didn’t want to rely on others.

Perhaps she resented him a little.

“Ahh, that’s right…… I……”

Adel smiled at Christine, who was groaning in agony, as if it were all in the past.

“Don’t worry about it. We were both young then.”

Certainly! Here’s the translated passage, keeping in mind the characters’ names and genders, along with all the other guidelines you provided:

But he knew. It had created an irreparable rift between the two of them.

The one who was not there for him in the most desperate moment.

Unless Christine reveals his true identity, the rift can never be mended.

“Why are you looking for the silver wolf? Hasn’t your revenge already ended?”

Christine returned with a cool expression.

“People said they saw a strangely formed silver wolf in the forest on the day Mother passed away. It must have been one of the wolves they were breeding. But when I found their wolf pen, there was no silver wolf.”

“They must not have bred the silver wolf. It might not have existed in the first place.”
