I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

The atmosphere of the castle was clearly different from before.

Lalisa’s eyes fluttered when she saw the servants bowing politely to her. They were all new faces.

 “His Highness has ordered all the servants to be replaced.”

Melissa whispered quietly beside her. Lalisa looked at Melissa with a slightly puzzled look on her face.

‘Don’t tell me it’s because of this time?’

Pensive, Lalisa quickly shook her head.

Jungkook was probably just trying to wrap up the hectic atmosphere. It wasn’t for her.

“But aren’t you cold, Your Grace? I’m not sure if you’re wearing too thin.”

“It’s alright. It’s cool and perfect.”

Melissa didn’t want to leave Lalisa’s side for a long time, blaming herself for what happened because of her absence.

Thanks to Melissa’s sincerity, Lalisa was able to recover quickly. 

While walking in the backyard, Lalisa glanced at the workers gathered in the garden.

Bennett, the butler, who was standing near them, spotted her and bowed his head.

It was strange. The butler told her that she had to get Jungkook’s permission to repair the garden, but now he was working on it.

Lalisa looked at him for a moment and then averted her gaze, unimpressed.

“I can’t wait to see the garden filled with flowers when spring comes.”

Melissa added with a bright smile.

“When spring comes, we can garden together! You can plant lots of lily flowers, your favorite.”

“Yes, let’s do that.”

Lalisa’s face, which was smiling quietly, gradually darkened.

She wasn’t sure. She wondered if she could stay here until next spring.

She had no idea when Jungkook would end this marriage.

“Do you think this marriage will last forever?”

Thinking of his indifferent eyes when Jungkook said that, Lalisa was once again immersed in depression.

She had long known that he hated her, but she didn’t know he was setting an end. Lalisa quietly lowered her gaze. This marriage, which may end at any time, felt like a life with a time limit.
