I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

60

The carriage, which had left the villa, rattled down the mountain road.

They were heading to a small town near the border. It was a city where squares and downtown areas were properly arranged and there were not many people.

Lalisa carefully looked out of her window through the slightly tilted curtains.

It was to find out exactly where this villa was and what road to take to get out of the mountain.

While Lalisa was staring outside like that for a while, Jungkook suddenly spoke to her.

"If you feel uncomfortable, tell me right away."

At that moment, Lalisa, who turned her gaze to the other side, nodded his head without answering.

Then, suddenly, she realized that it was the first time she and Jungkook went out like this.

They left a few times together to go to the Imperial Palace, but that was only for official events.

It felt a little funny, and at the same time, it felt futile.

She had never been alone in her marriage, and it was strange that it had come to this point.

If she was the Lalisa of the past, she would be beyond happy that she could accompany Jungkook on an outing.

Because she was simple and foolish.

But she just doesn't like being with him right now.

Lalisa lowered her gaze and silently waited to arrive in the downtown area.

After such a long time, the carriage entered the city.

The first thing that caught her eyes was the river that ran across the street.

A small boat floated on the surface of the water, and people were sitting huddled together. After watching the boatman rowing for a moment, the carriage stopped nearby.

Jungkook got out first and held out his hand to her. Lalisa hesitated for a moment, but soon held his hand.

As she stepped on her feet, the bright sunlight poured over her head. Looking around, she saw a plaza with a relaxed atmosphere.

'I did come, but...'

The reason she wanted to go out was just to find an escape route and to figure out the exact location of the villa.

So there were no other plans.

She glanced at Jungkook, and as soon as their eyes met, she averted her gaze.

At first, she thought it would be better to walk as far as her feet could reach.

So, as she entered the street, various shops were lined up. From clothing stores to jewelers to stalls selling miscellaneous goods.

Lalisa looked at the crowded street without much meaning.

As she tried not to be conscious of Jungkook who was following her from behind.

After wandering the streets for a long time, her gaze was suddenly fixed somewhere. It was a jewelry shop.

Brilliant accessories were piled up in a glass showcase.

Among them, what caught Lalisa's attention was the blue diamond earrings.

Without realizing it, she stopped and looked at the display case.

She wasn't very interested in jewelry, but the bright colors automatically caught her eyes.

The gaze did not linger for long. Lalisa quickly turned and made her way back into the street.
