I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

"It seems like someone is trying to figure out what's going on inside the temple."

Matheus, who entered the bottom floor of the temple, inside the blue barrier, whispered quietly.

At that, Jimin, who was sitting next to Lalisa, got up.

"Lalisa is here... Did someone notice?"

Jimin's eyes began to shake.

Until now, Lalisa had never been moved from one place to another in this room. Besides, there were only two people in the temple who knew she was here.

Jimin bit his lip with an anxious expression, and Matheus gave a calm answer.

"It won't be that. Perhaps someone happened to see the Grand Duke come here."

Matheus, who lowered his gaze slightly, spoke slowly.

"A few months ago, a woman asked a priest if the Grand Duke was here with a woman."

Fortunately, the question was blocked by the priest under Matheus.

When he replied that there was no such thing, the woman who tried to figure out something went back without fussing.

"But we also need to pay close attention. If something happens while the Grand Duke is away, it will be difficult."

"... Yes."

Jimin looked down at Lalisa again and asked.

"Did the Grand Duke communicate?"

It had been a long time since the Grand Duke left the Empire. Matheus was immediately sending a letter to him whenever major clues about the High Priests were found.

"After sending the records of Carnosia three weeks ago, there has been no communication."

Carnosia was a small territory in the Western Continent.

As a result of interacting with various temples, Matheus discovered records of a priest with strange abilities appearing in Carnosia several decades ago.

"He will be busy with just the search, so he won't have time to report the situation."

After calmly speaking, Matheus looked down at Lalisa, who was lying there without any change from three months ago.

There was no change in her. All of her functions had stopped, except for her faintly beating heart.

Of course, she was the same as her appearance. Without having to wash her body, get nutrients, or take care of the basics.

It just seemed like she was sleeping for a very long time.

"It's been quite a while, but fortunately her heart hasn't stopped. It's fortunate, but I am afraid when this heart will stop."

Jimin looked at her pale face and muttered anxiously.

He was thankful that Lalisa endured well for three months, but at the same time, he was also worried about her.

"Jimin, you said once. Lalisa is loved by God."

Matheus' still voice fell, and Jimin raised his head and looked at him.

"That's right. I'm finally convinced."

"... "

"Don't worry. I'm sure everything will be fine."

Matheus a kind person, but he wasn't the kind of person who offered vague, unfounded consolation. So now those words have created complete trust in Jimin.
