I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

98

Lalisa, who was listening to the words of the Crown Prince clearly, clenched the hem of her dress.

At this moment, based on the words of the Crown Prince, her fragmented memories were being put together one by one. Lalisa realized it now. The fact that she had run away from Jungkook. Tired of being treated coldly by him, because her life was too much.

The cliff and the river flowing beneath it, which she once saw in her dream, were not just a dream.

The feeling of jumping there without hesitation was clearly etched in her mind.

"Where have you been since you were dragged back? Oh, there was a time when the Grand Duke was away for months from his castle. Was it then?"

"...."

Lalisa, who was silent, lowered her gaze. Perhaps he was referring to a time when she and Jungkook stayed in a villa for quite some time.

It was a villa overlooking the lake. She remembered vividly riding through the plains on a white horse with Jungkook.

She felt quite happy at that time.

Her memories were coming back. Now with a sense of reality.

But before she could delve a little deeper, the Crown Prince mumbled shocking words.

"If the Grand Duke bets on you, he will surely fall. If that happens, I will take everything he has, and I'll make sure he'll never be able to raise his head arrogantly in front of me again."

He felt good just imagining it.

Lalisa clenched her hand tightly and bit her lips. Jungkook would have foreseen this situation already.

So that was why he told her not to leave the castle. Lalisa frowned as if in pain. So, all of this happened because she didn't listen to him.

"Looking at that expression, you seem quite favorable to him, contrary to what I thought."

Lowering his eyes, he spoke with a soft voice.

"Hmmm.... What does he look like when that wooden man cries?"

Once again, the Crown Prince reached out and grabbed a strand of her hair and began to stroke it. Lalisa endured the throbbing headache and reflexively hit his hand.

Then the Crown Prince, who laughed as if it was fun, got up from his seat.

"Okay, let's stop talking. It must have been hard for you, so you should rest."

The Crown Prince, murmuring as if he were a friendly man, stared down at her. Lalisa, who lowered her head while turning away from him, agonized and anguished inside.
