I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

Jungkook did not return to the castle much any more.

He was away often but always came back. However, this time, he stayed out longer. The servants began to whisper that Lalisa was the reason he had not returned.

Lalisa's heart fell endlessly amidst all the negativity surrounding her.

She felt like everything was going awry with her.

But she had no idea how to untangle the intricate knot between Jungkook and her.

"Grand Duchess, you said you were going out today?"

Melissa looked around at the clothes in the dressing room while all Lalisa could do was sigh.

"Yes, I'm going to look around the garden in the backyard."

Lalisa replied cheerfully, and Melissa continued in a lively voice.

"Then it'd be better to wear a dress that is a little shorter in length. There's always the possibility of getting dirt on your dress!"

"Yes. I'll do that."

Lalisa looked at Melissa and struggled to lift her lips. Melissa was the only person in this castle who was kind to her.

Whenever she was feeling down, Melissa would act lively and relieve her mood.

If it hadn't been for Melissa, there would have been no one to force her to laugh or interact with in this big castle.

"Well, have a nice day!"

Lalisa nodded and headed for the backyard of the main castle. Lately she had been trying to work up to a busy routine of her own.

Sitting still was causing her to feel endlessly depressed, so she was desperately trying to find something to do.

Eventually, Lalisa arrived at the garden and looked around.

The land was barren in this garden, which had no fixed manager, and it was hard to see with weeds growing everywhere.

Winter was approaching soon, so it was somewhat impossible to plant new plants and trees. Preoccupied, Lalisa returned to the castle and called her butler, Bennett.

"What do you think about repairing the land and building a greenhouse?"

Until now, Bennett had been in charge of all the internal and external affairs of the Grand Duke's castle. This was because they didn't have a Grand Duchess then.

Jungkook was not very interested in the management of the castle, so he left all the authority to Bennett.

But now that he had a wife, that authority naturally had to revert to Lalisa.

But for some reason, Bennett hadn't given her the power of internal affairs.

However, Lalisa was going to fulfill her duty as a hostess. She wanted to do her part in whatever way she could.

"Well, the cost of the repair that's going to go in right now, and it'll cost a lot of money to hire people."

However, a disapproving voice flowed from Bennett.

He, who had been managing the castle with his own iron rules, seemed unhappy with Lalisa's words.

Lalisa continued speaking in a calm voice.

"I checked the books just in case. The cost of maintaining the castle is very high every year."

"The garden is sometimes used as a training ground for knights. You can't just repair it, Your Highness."
