I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

The situation might be different if she had a child because it was a matter of succession, but she still had to be afraid. It would be unbearable if those cold and heartless eyes of Jungkook directed at the child.

‘His Highness doesn’t even want to share a room with me let alone have a baby…’

Lalisa, who was stroking the stiff paper absentmindedly, immediately rose from her seat. Trying to call Melissa out of habit, Lalisa quickly remembered that Melissa had left for vacation today. She felt very lonely without Melissa, who was the only person she could talk to by her side.

As it was, Lalisa came out of the bedroom and walked slowly to the end of the hallway.

She was going to spend some time in the study today.

There were a total of five study rooms here in the Grand Ducal Palace of Caesar. Lalisa’s favorite study was located on the fourth floor.

It was a quiet place where no one came and went except when the servants were cleaning.

“Good morning, Your Highness.”

The two servants who had just come out from cleaning the study bowed to her.

As Lalisa nodded and turned to go inside, she heard the servants talking quietly behind her.

She already knew that the servants have been mocking her and laughing at her behind her back.

Being treated poorly by the master and even ignored by the servants was something she had experienced many times during her time at the Marquis’ mansion.

They were well aware of the fact that their master would not take any action even though they bullied her.

Lalisa also didn’t want to cause any unnecessary noise, so she put up with their whispers as usual.

 With a deep sigh, she chose any book from the bookshelf and sat down at the table. Immersing herself in the book allowed her to forget all about the reality surrounding her. Today, Lalisa was desperately absorbed in the book to calm her emotions.

Time passed quickly. It was around morning when she came to the study, and before she knew it, the study was dimly lit. Lalisa got up from her seat, left her books in their original positions, and approached the door. 

Click.

Lalisa, who turned the doorknob, froze for a moment. It was because the door didn’t open. … Could it be that the door was locked from the outside? For some reason, Lalisa had a bad premonition, and she quickly turned the handle and shouted.

 “Is there anyone there? The door is locked!”

She shouted loudly as she pounded the door harder and harder, but it was quiet outside.

 “No one?”
