I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

After throwing up blood, Lalisa immediately lost consciousness.

Several months had passed since staying here, but Lalisa had never collapsed like this.

She sometimes said that she felt a throbbing pain in her heart, but this was the first time she coughed up blood with such intense pain.

After fainted, Lalisa didn't wake up until the next day.

"...Lalisa, are you okay?"

Lalisa turned to Jimin, who sat next to her with a worried look in his eyes. Jimin, who had been watching her all night, had a look of guilt on his face. Lalisa closed her eyes and gently nodded her head in reply.

"I'm sorry. I should have paid more attention. I didn't realize how serious your condition was getting..."

Jimin dropped his gaze with an embarrassed expression. Lalisa struggled to open her mouth at his remorseful words.

"Please don't say that. I'm fine."

But as soon as she spoke, her heart began to palpitate again.

Lalisa bit her lip as trying to catch her breath, her hands trembling.

"I could endure this before, but why all of a sudden..."

Suddenly, the words that Matheus had said a long time ago came to Lalisa's mind as she endured the pain.

He said if she used the holy power randomly, her body would not be able to hold on.

Of course she knew it well, but she didn't have any serious problems during that time, so she thought it was okay.

As soon as she was relieved, her body started to break down little by little.

"I'll try to find a cure somehow ......."

"..."

"If we go to the temple and search through all the old documents, I'm sure we can find out more about Lalisa's condition."

Jimin opened his mouth decisively, as if to reassure her. But he couldn't be sure, and his expression was gloomy.

Lalisa nodded lightly, lacking the energy to reply. Jimin looked at her worriedly as she struggled.

"Lalisa, sleep some more. I'll be by your side."

Lalisa slowly closed her eyes at the quiet voice. Her whole body was heavy as if she was drowning in the water.

Jimin left the monastery as planned.

In the meantime, Lalisa's body had made some improvement, but she was still not ready to return to her daily routine.

So her routine at the monastery became lighter than before. She moved at a comfortable pace for her body and then had longer rest periods.

One fine morning, Lalisa opened the window and sat down in front of the woodworking table.

On the table were branches of colorful flowers and a half-finished flower crown.

She was making a crown and a bouquet for the bride, as there was going to be a wedding at the monastery in a few days.

"Lalisa, have a snack and take a rest."

Gabrielle, who visited her in her room, said as she placed the tray on the table.

"Oh, thank you."

Lalisa looked up after letting her flower crown down for a while.

With her hair tied loosely, Lalisa smiled brightly. She looked the most comfortable she had lately, but she was a little thinner than before.
