I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

65

Lloyd, who was paying close attention to Jungkook's calm expression, continued with a sigh.

"... Yes, even if you say you will refuse national marriage. Do you intend to keep the position of Grand Duchess empty? You must also consider the successor issue, Your Highness."

Of course, Jungkook was still young and strong. However, considering his status as a Grand Duke, it was not the time to be complacent. Jungkook loosened the collar of his shirt without answering.

Heir. He hadn't even thought about it.

When an unavoidable situation came, it was not bad to bring one of the two from the outlying side. In the first place, he didn't put much importance on succession. Lloyd, who was rather impatient as he looked at the peaceful Jungkook, spoke again.

"At least let the capital know the Grand Duchess is alive..."

"Stop."

At Lloyd's endlessly lengthening words, as always, a cold order was issued.

At that moment, Lloyd shut his mouth, but the sadness he couldn't swallow was reflected on his face.

'Is this how it is .....Is he really thinking about just hanging around by Grand Duchess' side without any promises?'

It wouldn't be a surprise considering the attitude he's shown so far...

Lloyd let out a long, silent sigh with a face half worried and half resigned.

At the same time, the Emperor's anger shook the Imperial Palace.

"So, you still haven't found the Grand Duke's residence?"

"... I'm sorry, Your Majesty. He's such a thorough person..."

The Emperor clicked his tongue at the knight, who couldn't find where Jungkook was living for months.

Unusually, the emperor, who took off his benevolent face, had a face full of anxiety. He had to plant a spy to check Jungkook's castle, because he couldn't figure out where Jungkook was staying.

Currently, the Empire was in a state of exchange with the Geranian Kingdom about national marriage.

And the national marriage opponent they wanted the most was Jungkook.

From the Emperor's point of view, there was nothing more embarrassing than Jungkook's joining hands with them.

Still, Jungkook's prestige was going to break through the sky, but it was self-evident that if he made a connection with another country, a huge blow would come to the imperial forces.
