I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

46

"Your Highness, I apologize for the early hour. The Kingdom of Caria has sent a proposal for a trade merger. It seems that you need to consider it as soon as possible."

Inside the Grand Duke's castle. Lloyd, who had hurried into the office, approached the desk and held out a letter.

Without looking at Lloyd, Jungkook took the letter.

"Your Highness, on a different note, what are your plans for the Empress' birthday banquet this time?"

Lloyd looked at him and asked cautiously.

So far, Jungkook had not participated in any of the major events held in the capital.

However, since this banquet was only for the royal family's birthday celebration, it was necessary for him to attend.

As Lloyd swallowed his spit, Jungkook replied by writing his signature on the letter.

"Tell them I will be there."

"Yes, yes!"

It was a surprisingly straightforward reply. Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief.

After finding out about Lalisa's whereabouts, Jungkook began to dabble in political affairs outside the estate.

That was a relief, but...

Six months had passed since he had found Lalisa and left her there.

However, Jungkook was still spending his time as if he was missing something.

So far, the castle has been piled high with marriage proposals from all over the world.

If he didn't bring Lalisa back with him, he would have rather considered a new marriage partner.

But Jungkook simply ordered all the marriage proposals to be burned without touching a single one.

He even went so far as to officially declare that he would not accept any more marriage proposals.

Lloyd looked at Jungkook, whose eyes were fixed on the papers, and posed a question to him.

"Your Highness, are you really not planning to see Her Highness?"

Jungkook, who had been madly searching for Lalisa, did not even try to go to her now.

If he had abandoned his feelings for her, he would not have said anything.

However, his nerves were still entirely focused on her.

For half a year, he had been distributing donations to the small monastery where Lalisa lived.

He even went so far as to impersonate his second-in-command as a member of the congregation there to receive regular updates on her condition.
