I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

73

Jungkook, who raised his head in that state, looked straight into her eyes.

It was a broken gaze, with only darkness dwelling all over it, where the shaking disappeared.

Lalisa opened her lips with an astonished expression.

"What..."

Before she could even speak, Jungkook straightened his body. Looking at the back of him who turned around and walked out without hesitation, Lalisa went blank. After Jungkook left the room, only then did she come to her senses and followed him.

"...Your Highness!"

Lalisa hurriedly tried to catch up to him, but Jungkook did not look back and turned around the end of the hallway at once.

As they entered the deck, heavy raindrops were pouring down mercilessly.

Jungkook walked through the rain and approached Jimin, who had been captured by the knights.

There was no hesitation in the gesture of pulling the sword out of the sheath around his waist. A sharp blade was pointed at the neck of Jimin, who was kneeling on his knees.

"...no!"

At that moment, Lalisa, who ran out onto the deck, shouted.

The moment Jungkook raised his sword, she rushed to him and grabbed his arm.

"Stop it! Why, why do you want to harm an innocent person!"

At her desperate words, Jungkook stopped his movement. Taking advantage of the gap, Lalisa blocked him.

There was a clear intent to kill in his darkened eyes. Indeed, he really was trying to kill Jimin.

At this moment, Lalisa felt a distant emptiness.

She thought this man had changed a little. She thought he might be thinking about her sincerely.

So she held her feeble expectations.

Even if she left without a word, maybe he would understand.

Maybe he would notice her desire to be free from her family...

But now she knew. This man would never let her go for any reason.

Lalisa raised her head and looked up at him, still holding her sword.

"I will go. I will be by your side."

"... "

"Leave Jimin alone. Don't hurt him."

At the end of her voice, who muttered in despair, a cry was mixed.

Jungkook's eyes, which had gone black, began to tremble at the soft tears that welled up in the corners of her eyes.

While he paused, Lalisa turned and approached Jimin.

At that moment, Jungkook slowly lowered his hand and dropped his sword on the floor.

"I'm sorry, Jimin. because of me... ."

"Lalisa...... "

Lalisa, who tried hard to swallow her tears, began to loosen the rope that was tied to Jimin's wrist. Jimin looked at her anxiously.

Jungkook couldn't move, as if stuck in place, putting her image in his eyes. Again, it was as if an invisible solid wall was built between Lalisa and him.

Just like when he found her a long time ago. She had her back to him which was so far away.

The difference from then was that he could no longer let Lalisa go.
