My Sister-In-Law Is My Mate!?!

"What are you both talking about? Look, Richard or whatever your name is. We are just talking so you do not need to overreact so much. Now if you would excuse us!"

The way he portrayed these words as if Richard was a jealous husband who could not bear that his wife would talk to other men.

His words only brought further whispers and pointing of the nobles who were paying close attention to the couple. 

"Hasn't Jonathan been engaged to Hazel before?"

"Yes, I think that is the reason that he was so jealous! He did not want the old lover of his wife to roam around her!" 

"Oh! Or it might be that Jonathan could not let go of his old lover!" 

The whispers were only increasing with the time that soon it reached the ears of Amelia who was sitting beside the crown prince to gain his attention.

Firstly, she did not care about Jonathan having a fight, bit when she heard that Richard was angry because he was trying to go close to hazel, she felt betrayed,

Though she was trying to get closer to the crown prince. She was not sure how successful she would be. Most importantly, the man was kissing her just a while ago and now he was trying to get back to Hazel, leaving her!

She could not bear that everyone around her was forgetting her and thinking about Hazel who had no etiquette, no education, nothing! She was nothing but a fool who had suddenly taken a high place in society due to the grace of her husband.

She stood up to see the man by herself. She wanted to see if he felt any remorse or guilt by looking at her eyes when he was trying to betray her.

"Excuse me, I will be back in a minute!" She bowed her head and walked where the commotion was taking place followed by her maid.

"I think we should leave!" Hazel looked at Richard whose eyes were still flickering but he nodded. But just when they turned, Jonathan smirked.

His evil grin was enough to infuriate Richard further who did not care where they were and wanted to beat him badly.

"Do you need any kind of help, sister?" asked Amelia in a sweet tone but her eyes were staring at Jonathan instead of hazel.

"No! We are leaving. Take care of your lover or else he might dump you like he had dumped other girls before!" she commented in a cold tone and Amelia turned to look at her sister with shock.

"What.. What are you talking about, sister?" she was sure that she had never behaved suspiciously in front of her sister or anyone else.

She had always kept her relationship with Jonathan a secret as she did not want to be accused of being a bitch or a vixen. 

That was why she always tried to get rid of hazel first before going public about their relationship. 

But looking into the eyes of Hazel, there was no doubt but a cold look as if she knew about it for a long time.

"You can carry on the act later. For now, you should pay more attention to holding your lover or I can not guarantee that my husband would beat him in front of everyone." replied hazel arrogantly as she looked at her with disdain.

Amelia gritted her teeth as she gave a glance to Jonathan who still had that arrogant smirk on his face. There was no sign of feeling remorse and guilt.

Turned her gaze back to hazel, Amelia replied, 

"I did not know what you were talking about? He is just my ex brother-in -law. And i was worried about you that is why i came here.

You should not talk about these kinds of sensitive issues so carelessly sister. Who knows what others would think about it!" Amelia looked at them with an aggrieved face and turned to love while covering her mouth as if she was trying to muffle her sobs.

Everyone around them turned to look at them and then exchanged glances but no one said a word further.

Hazel shook her head at the perfect acting of her sister who was still trying to behave like an innocent girl and walked towards their table followed by Richard.

They all took their seats back as if nothing had happened,

Alcastra turned to look at Richard feeling his gloomy mood and raised his brow.

"For how many days have you decided to stay here?" he asked and Richard turned to look at Alcastra.

"Do not mind me, i just wanted to offer, if you are here for a long time, visit the place for a few days!" he offered and the eyes of George glimmered. 

"That would be wonderful. If you do not mind, can I send Amelia with hazel too? So that she did not feel lonely and awkward there?" Even when Richard had not accepted the offer, George had already thought about who would deny such a great chance.

When Richard titled his head and turned to look at George and was about to deny it. But before he could do so, he saw Hazel nodding her head while picking up her glass to drink some wine.

"Well, I do not mind staying there for a while!" His voice was still indifferent and cold but his reply was enough to shock Alcastra who was sure that he would deny it.

He has been giving the same offer since long but not even once had Richard accepted it or else he would have made sure that Richard and Elizabeth would fall in love and get married.

But it was never too late for getting a favor. His face turned escalated as he nodded his head with excited voice

"Sure then I would make necessary preparations. Tell me when you want to come here and I will send my best knights to escort you!"
