Chapter 59

HAPPY READING

During dinner, Jungkook began to talk about her outing.

"I heard you went out."

"Yes. I went to see the acquaintance I asked you to deliver a letter to before. Do you remember?"

"I remember."

Not only did he remember, but ever since Jeno turned in the last report, he had been closely monitoring, as well as protecting the female novelist.

He had already known that the female novelist would be getting married soon and he had even investigated to see if the man had deliberately approached the novelist.

Unbeknownst to Minyong, she was about to marry a man that was guaranteed as non suspicious by the Duke of Taran's Intelligence Unit.

"She is a precious friend of mine. As she is leaving the capital, I want to leave a connection to be able to help her, just in case she encounters any difficulties in her new home."

"Do as you see fit."

At his ready consent, her cheeks reddened a little. She didn't think he was going to refuse but she felt elated when he simply accepted her request.

"Also...do you happen to know the rumor going around about me?"

"There are always many rumors in the capital."

"It is such a ridiculous rumor..."

She didn't continue and just kept poking her dish with her fork causing Jungkook to frown slightly. Through Jeno, he knew of all the rumors about her. The rumors were mostly ridiculous so as long as it wasn't malicious, a sensitive response would be rather counterproductive.

Fortunately, there were no malicious details in the rumors about her. The thought that she might have heard a bad rumor from somewhere he didn't know made Jungkook's mood turn foul. If that was the case, he would call Jeno who didn't do his work properly and pound him to the ground.

"Rumors are usually ridiculous. What does the rumor say?"

Lisa was a bit hesitant at his question, then with a slightly reddened face, she tried to explain the unspeakable rumor while holding back her embarrassment.

"The Duchess of Taran is a great...beauty...so you...me...territory..."

"I've heard that. What about it?"

The rumor wasn't a big deal. He asked because he couldn't understand why it was making her very uncomfortable. Lisa also couldn't understand how he was completely unaffected by the rumor.

"It portrays you like some kind of kidnapper."

"For a rumor about me, it's more on the favorable side."

Lisa had heard all sorts of rumors about him in her dream. In addition, she had unintentionally delivered the rumor that he drank blood directly to his face. Considering his rather mirthful reaction to her words at the time, he seemed to be composed when faced with rumors about himself.
