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

"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!"

Amelia's eyes flicker when she hears the conversation. She was sure that Hazel knew that about her and Jonathan. The way Hazel had asked her to handle the duke, it had shown that she knew their secret. 

Amelia was still not able to solve this puzzle yet another puzzle was standing in front of her.

When Hazel hated them and especially her, then why did she agree to the words of father and agreed to take her to the palace!?

If she was here to take revenge then why was she helping father in getting the contract and her getting close to the crown prince.

No matter how much she thought, she was not able to solve this strange puzzle.

Her eyes flickered as she gazed at Hazel who had that harmless and sweet smile on her face, but she was not a fool to believe it.

"Why are you looking at me like a frown sister? If you did not want to come to the palace with me, then i will not force you!'' Hazel replied with a sweet smile as she turned to look at Amelia with a regretful face.

The smile on the face of George, who was not able to contain his happiness, froze. He turned to look at AMelia with a deep frown when he noticed her dark force.

"Amelia.. What is with your reaction? Hurry and thank your elder sister for taking care of you and so as the majesty who had accepted her request to take you with her to the palace.'' His cold words brought Amelia back to her senses.

She gritted her teeth when she realized she had shown her real face to all of them. 

She was so lost in understanding her trick that she forgot she had to behave meek and sweet.

"Oh! There is no such thing, father. I was just worried about you and mother. How will you handle the palace without me? 

I apologize if my worries were taken as otherwise. Of course, it would be my honor to get a chance to visit the palace. I have never even thought in my dreams that one day I would get the chance to live there.

She bowed her head in deep respect towards the crown prince who did not seem to care even a bit if she was happy or sad or worried.

"Then I will wait for you to contact me!" he reminded the man once again who did not seem too pleased with the offer.

Richard finally nodded with a heavy face bringing a bright smile on the face of siblings.

Elizabeth swirled the glass of wine in her hands and drank all in a single gulp. She should not have been having thoughts for a married man, yet she could not help but have thoughts for the man sitting in front of her.

There was something charming in him that she could not keep her eyes away from him.

This was her chance to test if the attraction was temporary or if she was serious about it!

"I do not know how to express my gratitude to you, your highness. 

Firstly you have accepted to give me the contract of the palace and now you have accepted my daughter to be in the palace even for a short while. We are truly blessed to get your good grace!" George spoke a bit louder to get the attention of other nobles too.

He did not need to do much effort since everyone already had their ears bound on their table. And were stealing glances from time to time.

They all felt jealous and regretful when they heard him. They did not understand how the crown prince who was not interested in nobles below the duke or those who were useful to him was suddenly interested in the family of a mere count.

But they knew one thing, if they wanted the same grace, they had to be in a good relationship with hazel.

With that thought every family decided to give her the best gifts to flatter her.

"My lord, have you decided to give the contract to my father?" asked hazel as they still had not got time to share the conditions of contract. She wanted to explain to first what she wanted him to do.

Alcastra knew all along that Hazel hated her family and she had something cooking in her mind. That was why he had agreed to help her.

He titled his head to look at her but then shook it.

"Oh! I had asked the count to give me offers and then I would decide. I think that count forgot about it!" the face of george turned red with embarrassment when he felt the snickers of everyone,

Just a minute ago he had announced that he had already got the biggest contract of his life from the royal palace. But now he was denying it.

"That! I have already made all the files to show the offers. But you are free to make any amendments in it and accept them. 

Since you are the one who is running the whole empire. How could I be impudent enough to negotiate with you?

I trust that you will think the best for me too!" and what matters was the start!

Once he would start working for the royal palace, his life would change. And then slowly he could covet all the luxuries he could ever think of. With that thought his eyes gleamed with joy and anticipation, 

"If that is the case,  then you do not need to worry father." hazel started as she looked at her father with a sweet smile on her face and continued, 

"I will personally take the contract you will design to the royal palace and make sure that his highness will sign her!"
