I Will Disappear, Grand Duke | LK Adaptation

97

The man, who grabbed the fallen Lalisa and carried her lightly on his shoulder, murmured.

"I didn't know she came with knights. This situation is bothering me."

They were successful in luring Lalisa into the mansion (*the mansion in Vanosa) and made her lose consciousness, however, it was unexpected that her knights were lurking outside the mansion. As if waiting for Lalisa to appear, her knights were waiting in hiding everywhere.

Looking through the window, the Marchioness retorted.

"We just need to bring this girl before His Majesty the Emperor. The knights seem to be unaware of the situation here, so we can send out a bait."

The Marchioness looked at Lalisa, who collapsed under sleeping pills.

Poor and foolish, Lalisa was deceived by the lie that her mother was dying, and ran all the way here in a month.

She didn't expect the knights to come with Lalisa, but at least it was lucky that the Grand Duke didn't come.

Because of the worry that her illegitimate status would be discovered, Lalisa kept it secretly.

That made things very easy.

"You and the rest, lure the knights away. In the meantime, we'll leave for the Imperial Palace."

The Marchioness gave her orders skillfully, pointing at several men and maids standing in the room.

By disguising a maid as Lalisa, it would buy them some time.

If she brought Lalisa to the imperial palace safely, her job would be done successfully. A vicious smile crept across her wrinkled lips. Soon, at her command, her servants scattered in all directions.

In the meantime, the man, who stayed behind, put Lalisa into a large luggage bag.

Slowly, her body sank down on the bed.

Lalisa, who finally came to her senses, noticed that the whole place was blocked by cloth, and seemed to be trapped in something like a bag.

Lalisa unconsciously grabbed her neck as it was difficult to breathe.

"Ugh...... "

Lalisa groaned painfully a few times, 'That's it.' and a faint murmur was heard.

Then someone skillfully untied the straps of her sack in which she was trapped.

Then, as the air opened up, her vision suddenly brightened.

"She didn't have to bring you in harshly, Marchioness Elody is truly merciless."

An unfamiliar voice landed in her ear. Lalisa took a deep breath and slowly raised her head. A large, unfamiliar room and a familiar man standing in front of her.

Lalisa was well aware who this man was.

"...Crown Prince?"

He was definitely the Crown Prince. 'Why is this person in front of me?' Lalisa was confused. She continued to breathe heavily, trying to figure out the situation somehow.

Her biological mother was in the Vanosa's mansion, and she headed there without hesitation. But the woman in there was not her mother, but the Marchioness.

Before she could ask anything, she fainted, so she couldn't remember how she got here.

Naturally, she didn't even know why the Marchioness had brought her here.

Lalisa grabbed the hem of her dress tightly with her trembling hands.

The Crown Prince, who was staring at her, smiled.
