Lisa got out of the carriage with a picnic basket containing snacks.
In front of her was the main Castle, which rose to the sky's end.
The main castle was located in District 1 but it couldn't be compared to the spire where Lisa lived.
Despite having visited the place since last night's dinner, the spacious interior was hard to get used to.
She moved slowly through the century-old castle and stepped further up the stairs toward the second floor where Jungkook's office was located.
Faded square spots lined up the walls as if large frames were hung there for a long time.
Perhaps, the walls were adorned with portraits of the Laveras in the past.
"Jungkook must have cleaned everything up."
The royal family's bloodline had long since occupied the Lavera's rightful place.
It was reasonable to clean it up now that their enemy, Jungkook, became the lord.
It could be a coincidence, but...While looking at the spacious yet empty wall, Lisa shifted the heavy basket to her other hand.
She also brought chocolates from the Marquis' Mansion and placed them inside.
It was the same chocolate that she wanted to feed Jungkook.
"Where is the office?"
When Lisa came up to the second floor, she was so confused at the countless doors in the long hallway.
After taking a few steps, she realized that the long hallway was connected to another corridor somewhere.
She got flustered at the numerous paths in front of her.
She shouldn't have refused Mrs. Bailey when she offered to accompany her since the main castle had a complicated internal structure.
How embarrassing!
The maidservant instructed her earlier on how to get to Jungkook's office. But right now, she wasn't even sure where she was and where she was supposed to go.
There were no servants nearby so she couldn't ask.
It was just then--
"What is that?"
After hearing a beast's growl, a huge shadow glimmered at the end of the dim hallway.
Lisa narrowed her eyes to identify the animal.
"A dog?"
No.
It wasn't a dog but a wolf.
A wolf the size of a house was walking slowly towards her with his nostrils flaring, ready to attack.
Surprised, Lisa held her breath and shuddered back.
"Oh no! Please don't come near me."
That dreadful beast must have recognized her as an intruder.
"Huh? Wait a minute."
Lisa frowned when she found something familiar.
The wolf's fur reminded her of someone's hair.
His hair was black and his eyes were shining gold.
"Grand Duke?" She whisper-shouted at the big, black wolf but the beast narrowed the distance between them regardless.
"No!"
No matter how afraid she was at the moment, Jungkook couldn't have turned into an animal.
The Laveran Tribe might have a mix of 'wolf blood' running through their veins, but that didn't mean they could turn into wolves.
