I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

64

So after returning to the villa, Lalisa quietly reviewed her future plans. Originally, she had planned to return to the Holy Land, but it was still at war with demons there.

After all, she had nowhere else to go right now.

"What should I do now? Where should I go?"

At the back of the villa, where the stable was, Lalisa looked at the white horse and thought. As she stared at the horse endlessly with complicated eyes, the horse held out its snout, as if it understood her. Finally, Lalisa slowly reached out.

She patted the white hair, and the horse looked pleasantly pleased.

The big horse, which seemed to be three times her size, behaved as if it were a small dog.

Lalisa suddenly realized that she hadn't let the horse loose in the stable since the last time she rode with Jungkook.

Distressed, she undid the ring on the small wooden door and opened it. As if the horse had been waiting, it walked out with ease.

With the reins in her hands, Lalisa walked the horse toward the plains.

She thought that the horse would be happier in the open plains than confined in a stable.

"Should I give it a name?"

Lalisa thought absentmindedly as she looked at the horse that was standing still and grazing.

She didn't know if it was right to give the horse a name... but she thought it would be nice if it had a name.

"Laura."

Lalisa mumbled, and before she knew it, a long shadow formed behind her.

Startled by the shadowy vision, Lalisa turned around.

How long has he been watching her? Jungkook approached with a calm manner.

With a serious look on her face, she quickly turned her gaze to the horse.

"That's a nice name."

Lalisa's ears turned slightly red with the embarrassment of being caught talking to herself.

But he didn't even show a hint of a smile, whether he really thought the name was good.

"You didn't look for it for a while, so I thought you didn't like it."

"...Oh, no. I like it."

To his murmur, Lalisa quietly replied.

In fact, she liked this white horse from the beginning. It was a a mysterious and gentle horse.

She just didn't look for it because she didn't want anything from Jungkook.

'I've already received a lot just by spending time here...'

It was Jungkook who conclusively helped her and provided her with food, clothing and shelter when she had nowhere else to go.

So she was too ashamed to reject his things now that she didn't want it.

"I'll teach you how to ride."

Jungkook interjected. Then he looked up at her and continued.

"I said I'd teach you often."

"Yes."

Lalisa's eyes fluttered. Yeah, he definitely said he'd teach her horseback riding.

Actually, she wasn't entirely without a desire to learn. When she was very young, she had seen her half brother, whose face was now a blur, learning to ride.
