I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

Lalisa looked up at him with languid eyes.

She was still hurt from the fall, but seeing his face she felt relieved.

Lalisa opened her mouth in a quiet voice.

"Your Highness, why do you not return to the castle?"

Jungkook's eyes narrowed at her words. Lalisa slumped her shoulders, but continued her words to the end.

"I know it's presumptuous of me, but... I'm worried about you."

Jungkook, who looked down at her without answering, eventually gave out a small laugh.

Not only she said she was worried, she also had a painful look in her eyes in this whirlwind.

Jungkook, his forehead crumbled clearly, tried to say something more, but he closed his mouth softly.

Then he looked at Lalisa for a moment, and then coldly turned away.

Returning to the knights' place, Lloyd, who was quietly watching at his side, held out his hand to Lalisa.

"Are you all right, Grand Duchess?"

"Oh, thank you."

Lalisa limped as she barely stood up after Lloyd's help.

What is it that makes him leave a fallen person behind like this? Lloyd clicked his tongue at the cruelty of his master.

Lalisa, who was hesitating at the sight of Lloyd, asked cautiously.

"Um, How's His Highness?"

"Oh, that's the thing..."

Lloyd, who pondered for a while, replied in a roundabout way.

"Don't worry, he's in good health. He's been busy with his duties, so his return has been delayed."

"I see..."

Seeing her sullen, Lloyd somehow felt guilty. He gave an awkward nod, scratching his cheek.

"Now, if you'll excuse me."

With those words, Lloyd hurried after Jungkook.

Once the commotion died down, the town became quiet again.

"Your Grace, are you alright? Let me see."

Melissa, who had been looking at Lalisa from afar, finally approached her in a hurry. She hurriedly rolled up Lalisa's sleeves, revealing her red, swollen wrist.

"Oh, what should I do? You will surely get bruised... Is your ankle okay? Can you walk?"

"I'm sorry. I don't think I can walk by myself."

With Melissa's support, Lalisa suddenly turned around.

All of the items she bought in her excitement a while ago were lying on the floor.

Melissa hurriedly picked up the fallen items. Lalisa limped over to pick up a bouquet of flowers, but at that moment, people walked past her, stepping on the flowers in vain.

Staring at the crumpled petals, Lalisa retreated her outstretched hand.

Then she averted her gaze, unable to hide her sad face.

Lalisa sighed as she looked at the bandages wrapped around her ankle. Not only her ankle, but her wrist was bruised with blue color.

It had been a few days since they went downtown, and these wounds had gotten deeper and deeper.

There was no decent place for both hands and feet, so it was impossible to move.
