I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

Lloyd, who had been following Jungkook, spoke quietly.

They were now lurking near the temple, as the temple was the only clue to finding Lalisa's whereabouts.

However, they were not putting any direct pressure on the temple.

It was to make them not notice that they were under Jungkook's surveillance.

If the missing priest was truly related to Lalisa, the more reliable way was to find out who was behind it secretly.

"So, please, be patient a little longer."

Lloyd continued to talk, looking at the back of Jungkook's hand with blood vessels popping up.

Jungkook was now struggling to suppress the urge to turn the temple upside down.

It was the first time in six months that he had a clue about Lalisa. It was natural that he wanted to find her right away.

But there was no way the priests would be honest enough to tell him about her if he tried to visit the temple recklessly.

"...Yes, I know."

Jungkookd's empty eyes lit up with a faint glow as he recited in a low voice.

He had been out of his mind all this time, and now he was showing his human face.

He held his trembling hands harder.

Lalisa's trail was approaching. Lalisa must be alive...

In the meantime, Jimin arrived safely at the Temple of Ilion.

This was the first time he had been away from his position for such a long period of time during his time at the Temple.

"It's also been a very long time since I've seen myself like this."

Before stepping out of the carriage, Jimin used his power and changed his appearance. As the green light faintly spread, he quickly transformed into a ten years old boy.

Prior to his stay in the Holy Land, Jimin had always lived in his child form unless there was something special. This was because it was only by reducing his outward age and minimizing his bodily functions that he would be able to maintain his power in the most stable manner.

"Jimin, are you not changing into a child anymore?"

As he dismounted from the carriage and walked up the stairs, Jimin remembered what Lalisa had asked him sometime ago. It seemed that the memory of the first time they had met was very strong in her mind. Lalisa was alone in her conviction before he could make any reply.

Look again at the children attached to her, and look at him again.

"Hmmm, sure... it would be a bit troubling if you turned into a child here."

A gentle smile spread across his face as he thought of Lalisa's face as she laughed while muttering. It wasn't actually because he was embarrassed or troubled as she thought.

He just didn't want to spend the rest of his time in front of her as a child. Smiling subtly, Jimin crossed the yard and entered the hall. It was two days later when the High Priest decided to come.

Before that, Jimin intended to visit the study on the top floor of the temple first. In the library were numerous history books from ancient times to the present.

Starting from the origins of the holy power, many information and examples of the existing holy power were recorded. If he searched through them one by one, he might be able to find a way to alleviate Lalisa's condition. Jimin walked along the corridor that led to the central staircase.
