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

"I wanted this palace."

"Are you crazy? Do you think that you will ask and I will give the whole place to you? Just like that!" He shook his head and laughed. More than angry he felt pity on this small girl who had lost all the limits of delusions.

"I think you have gone crazy! To even think something like that? This palace has always been on the name of the count, the heir of the name Starenfoid! And you filthy blood! Do you think you can rule it? I pity you!" His words were filled with scorn and laughter. He was sure that she had grown crazy to even ask so or how could she.. Who had nothing dare to even think that she could have the palace of herself and her good for nothing husband.

"At best I can give you a few maids and a few boxes of gold coins. If more, I can even give you some jewel as your marriage gift." he replied with a snort, sure that she  would be embarrassed and guilty after hearing his snarking remarks but her expressions did not even change a bit.

She continued to sit there with a haughty face as she looked straight into his eyes.

"I do not need all this rubbish. I only need the palace if you want to make a deal. And  In exchange I will give you the chance to meet his highness and help you in getting the biggest contract of the empire anytime you want." her lips formed a smug smile when she said so as she knew that that was all her father wanted.

And as expected his eyes filled with greed as he listened to her. But he was still unsure if he should agree to her just like that!

"Think about it? If you would get a lot of contracts, you will be able to buy bigger places than this like you have always wanted. And till then I will let you live here. No one need to know that the palace is mine.,

You can tell everyone that you gave the palace to me in charity when you leave from here. They will take you as a kind and great man while you will be able to achieve everything you want.

Or else you can choose to deny me and then live happily after with your family in this palace with what you have!" she shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly as she added, 

"The choice is still yours! And you have all your time to decide but remember the crown prince would not be patient enough to wait that long and if he had a bad impression of hours then even i will not be able to convince him otherwise!"  she shrugged as she tapped her fingers on the table leisurely. While cold sweat started to form on his body.

The palace is the heritage of their family. The place where generations have lived. Could he let go of it so easily? But the greed to buy a better palace and stand in equality with those higher nobles who had always looked down on him was filling his heart too. And as she said, no one needed to know that she was the owner!

He could always tell others that he had given the palace as a gift to her later while only increasing his foot holding among nobles.

"Fine.. but how long would it take?" he asked as he looked at her with greedy eyes and she smirked.

She had always known that all his father's cards were money and wealth. But she had never known that he could be this foolish in his greed.

He even agreed to give her the palace he has! Haa! To think that it would be that easy…

She was one step closer to her revenge.

"I will ask his highness to give you a chance to work only on dinner today and I even promise that you will get the order once your offer is ready. If not, I will leave the palace right away.

But if I succeed, you have to give me the papers of the palace right then." she offered and he agreed.

"Hmmm,. But what would happen with only one order!" he snorted but she nodded readily.

"Of course, but if you complete the order on time and perfectly, I will help you in getting more and more orders day by day until you are richer like Duke Jonathan. Then you would not need to bow your head in front of them.

But the condition is that you have to complete the order on time and that also with good quality!" her eyes filled with evil glint when she said that but the man was already flying high in the sky.. He didn't have time to notice the hatred in her eyes or the evil plans she was making.

He did not even care about the conditions she was getting slowly. All he knew was that he would be higher than the duke and then they would be the one who would bow their heads in front of him.

"Of course, that is not any problem. I will fulfil all the responsibilities on time. You just wait and see how I will create a good image in front of his highness!" he smoked with proud eyes and she chuckled.

Yes she would wait and see how he would take every step towards his demise.

"Then shall I take it that you have accepted my offer and are ready to give me the palace?" she asked as she looked at the man who was lost in his dreams. There was no way that he would deny her. She could see in his eyes, how he had even planned the nrw furniture for his dream palace.

"Of course, after all, you are my elder daughter. How can I deny your first wish after marriage. As a father, I should do this much." he denied with a fake love on his face and she felt nauseated again.

How could a man be this foolish to think that she would believe his face.

But right now she had missions to do and she could not argue with the man who would be the stepping stone of her success.

"Very well, then I will prepare papers tomorrow and one more thing, we are shifting into the palace from today." he nodded, the earlier she would be back to the palace, he would be able to control her and her husband again.

Then he would see how she would behave so haughty in front of him. It would only be beneficial for him if she would live in front of his eyes.

"Sure, i will ask the maids to prepare your room." he said as he stood up from his seat as the discussion ended there but his steps were halted when he heard her chuckling again.

"What is it?" he asked, looking back at her with a frown.,

"Have you ever heard that the owner of the palace will live in a shabby cornered room on the ground floor while the guests will live in the master bedroom on the first and second floor?" she raised a brow as she looked at the office that had all the comfort of the palace. Even the office was larger than her room that was smaller than the bathroom of the inn Richard was staying at.

She was sure that his tall figure would not be able to sleep in that small bed of hers. The whole room would feel like a mice hole when he would enter there.

Though he would not say anything to her, she had to care about his comfort and image too or how would she be a good wife!?

"I am sure that you do not want us to stay in that small room, right father?" she asked with a mocking gaze and he frowned! He did not understand what was wrong in her room since she had spent all her life there and that knight! 

It did not look like he even cared where he lived. He did not even speak a word all this time except threatening him. He was sure that he did not even know how to behave in front of the nobles as he only spoke through his hands all this time.

But he sighed and nodded,

"Fine, then I will ask the maids to clean the guest room on the first floor. It is double the size of your room. Now shall we leave!" he tapped his foot on the floor with impatience as he crossed his hands in front of his chest, behaving intimidatingly. But the girl did not looked affected at all as she shook her head, 

"No! As the new owner of the palace, I want the master bedroom for me and my husband or else how would I feel that the palace belongs to me now?"

"........."
