I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

20

The Marquis, who was staring threateningly at Lalisa, opened his mouth in a hideous tone.

"You're... you're really out of your mind, aren't you?"

It was the first time Lalisa had tried to defy him in such a way. The Marquis's eyes angrily distorted. The more he thought about it, the more he was disgusted.

"You dare to make such threats against me without knowing the benefits I have given you."

Lalisa stared at her father with unfocused eyes.

It all didn't matter anymore. Whether her father was going to beat her to death or kick her out of the family.

She couldn't think of anything, her head was as empty as a blanket.

"Lalisa, listen carefully to what I say."

The Marquis, who managed to contain the anger that was building up to the top of his head, calmly opened his mouth.

"It's not like you don't have a chance to make up for it. You can have an heir before the Grand Duke declares a divorce. Then you can keep him in your grasp. ...."

"I don't want to."

Lalisa muttered quietly, and the Marquis immediately frowned.

Unable to contain his rising anger, the Marquis lifted his sturdy hand once more, but someone knocked on the door at that moment.

"Excuse me."

Bennett, who came in with refreshments, sensed an unusual atmosphere and paused for a moment.

"Um, I've brought tea..."

Frowning, Bennett glanced at Lalisa, who remained motionless.

Meanwhile, the Marquis, who had finally managed to hold back his anger, sat down as if nothing had happened and said to Bennett.

"Leave the tea."

"Oh, yes..."

Bennett placed the tea on the table and carefully observed Lalisa, who was standing still.

When the Marquis noticed Bennett's look, he opened his mouth in a caring tone.

"Lalisa, father is wrong. Don't just stand there, sit down. There are people under you, so you have to set an example."

There was no trace of the fiery anger he had shown earlier.

Seeing the Marquis's attitude, which seemed to be simply placating his sulking daughter, Bennett tilted his head and walked out of the parlor.

As soon as Bennett left, his expression tightened again, and he looked at Lalisa's swollen, red cheek and said,

"You have to take care of the matter no matter what. Stop being rebellious."

"..."

"Tsk, how can you face the Duke with a face like that?"

The Marquis glared at Lalisa for a moment and continued speaking.

"'No matter how much the Grand Duke says he's like a wooden stone, in the end he's just a man. If you make up your mind and jump at him, he won't be able to refuse."

"..."

"So, do whatever you have to do, you must have a child with him."

Lalisa looked at the Marquis with a subdued gaze. His father's eyes, filled with greed as always, were the same color as her own.

It was so humiliating that she couldn't bear the fact now.

"This is your last chance. It won't happen again. Don't think that I can't do anything about a girl like you."
