I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

The dirt on the street was rough. It was a trace that dozens of horses had passed at once.

All of a sudden he had a bad feeling. Jungkook raised his hand and stopped his knights for a moment.

"Something strange. Some protect the high priest and defend the outside of the temple. The rest follow me in secret."

"Yes, sir!"

At his command, the knights were scattered in all directions. Jungkook ran through the streets again with only a few knights.

He turned and headed towards the back of the temple rather than the front entrance. There was a small passage.

It was a secret passage that Matheus had told him the other day in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

After a while, Jungkook, who stopped his horse, killed his presence and entered the interior.

As he went a little deeper inside, the temple in the dawn light was as quiet as nothing had happened.

However, Jungkook sensed a strange atmosphere somewhere.

"Your highness, I'll be back after a secret examination of the internal situation."

The knight standing next to him whispered softly. He immediately nodded his head.

As he turned his steps, he headed towards the parlor. The dim parlor was also strangely quiet.

Lalisa was on the lowest floor of the temple. The entrance to the temple was not inside the temple building.

A small stone pagoda at the end of the parlor. It was a passageway leading to a stone staircase placed inside.

Jungkook, who was hastening his steps, stopped halfway.

Narrowing his eyes, he looked at the guards at the tower.

Two men were rolling their eyes hard in the dark as if they were watching a net.

Jungkook's eyes, who were looking at them carefully, suddenly flashed coldly.

Realizing that the uneasy atmosphere he felt here was from them.

Soon, Jungkook walked up to the tower without hiding the sound of his steps.

"What, who are you?"

The men, who felt the presence, prepared themselves as if they were wary of the armed man.

Jungkook pulled his hood back roughly, revealing the face he had been hiding. He pulled out the sword he had hidden behind his waist.
