I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

101

Jungkook, who had been thoroughly examining Lalisa for a long time, noticed that her eyes were wet.

His desperate eyes narrowed slightly. He stretched out his hand and gently pressed the corner of Lalisa's eyes with his thumb.

"Are you hurt?"

At the end of the voice that was uttered while maintaining as much calm as possible, there was an impatience that could not be hidden.

Lalisa blinked her eyes slowly for a moment, as if she couldn't believe he was in front of her.

"No...."

The strength drained from her hand as she muttered. The knife she was holding in her grip fell to the floor.

Jungkook bit his lips as he looked at her hands, which were red with intense pressure.

Then he quickly revealed his still face and whispered small.

"It's okay now."

Jungkook, with his arms outstretched, picked her up into his arms. Lalisa felt firm hands supporting her body, and pulled her out of the closet in an instant.

Just then, a loud noise was heard outside.

"Your Highness, knights are coming here. You must hurry."

The knight standing outside the door hurriedly approached Jungkook and spoke.

Jungkook, who nodded, took Lalisa deeper into his arms and took his steps.

Lalisa, who looked up at him, lowered her gaze slowly. Then, she saw that the collar of his shirt was dyed red.

Then, gradually, her mind began to clear.

"Your Highness, are you hurt?"

At Lalisa's words as she stuttered, Jungkook looked down at her without stopping his steps.

"Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

Despite his clear answer, Lalisa bit her pale lips and placed her hand on the nape of his neck.

The blood on his neck rubbed into her hands. Fortunately, the bloodstain was easily wiped off, so he wasn't wounded.

Still, Lalisa couldn't help but to lower her head with her face engulfed in guilt.

As soon as they stepped out of the annex, the scene of the battle where the sound of swords vibrated caught her eyes.

Lalisa, who was looking at the sight of blood splattered and men fighting and screaming in the distance, tensed up.

Everywhere was a battlefield to the extent of thinking that a rebellion had taken place.

As Lalisa's gaze shook, Jungkook embraced her soft body more deeply as if to block her view.

From a distance a little closer because of that, Lalisa muttered in a voice that contained her emotions.

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise. Even if I hadn't been brought here...."

"It's not your fault."

Jungkook didn't stop his urgent steps and answered straight away.

"Even if it wasn't because of you, it must have happened."

He was calm. His reassuring soft voice made Lalisa's heart tremble even more.

Still, the battle continued on all sides. However, as if he was in a world that was far away from this bloody battlefield, Jungkook held her tightly and stepped forward without hesitation.
