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

I am worried that my father would be too angry if things did not go according to his plan!" She took a deep sigh as if she was facing a dilemma when her mother's eyes turned cold too.

"It was all because of that! She should have told us earlier that they had invited the crown prince here. Then we would have been prepared well." then she turned at her worried daughter,

"Do not worry and go ahead. I will handle myself. After all, I still need to do the tight preparations for my loving daughter!!" 

"Thank you mother, I know that you are very understanding." She moved closer to hug her mother but felt nauseated by the smell on her body.

Her look of disdain was hidden well when she looked at her mother apologetically. And assuring her that she would surely take revenge for her insult, Amelia left her mother on the stairs and ran back with hasty steps.

She had already wasted a lot of time on her mother, now she had to take the benefit of her absence to leave a good impression on the crown prince. 

If she would be able to woo the crown prince then Hazel would not stand a chance in front of her.

With a pleasant smile, she reached back to the table and sat beside the crown prince again.

Her father was sitting on the head of the family chair. Even when the position of crown prince was higher, only the heir of the family could sit on the seat of the head.

On his left were Richard and hazel. While on the right were the crown prince and Amelia. 

"I apologise for leaving the meal in mid way!" she bowed her head a bit as she apologised to the crown prince who looked at her with a frown.

"....." even if she was not there why was she telling him and apologising to him. He was not a fool to not understand her subtle hints.

"Oh! Is that so, the meal was so tasty that i did not notice that all." he replied with a gentle smile and his voice was like a soft breeze but Amelia only felt thorns. 

She gritted her teeth when she realised that man did not even notice her. But she continued to smile at him with that kind face.

"Of course, my mother is a great cook., she would have been contended if she would have heard your praise. But alas! Sister is still clumsy!" just the words left her mother she felt cold wind on her neck and strong killing intent.

Even Alcastra felt shivers when she stopped speaking, though he was not bewildered like her when he felt that strong aura. He did not need to turn to look to know that it was Richard.

Dumb girl she and her family kept repeating the same mistake. If only they would have maintained a good relationship with Hazel then he would not have thought twice before marrying Amelia just to be the brother in law of Richard. 

But who would propose to an ugly girl who was soon going to her grave anyway.

"What are you saying. Sister in law surely held the bowl properly. It was Lady Diana's mistake. Now let me have my meal.'' The man stopped the conversation only after praising the wife of Richard and as expected his aura diminished a lot when he heard the praise of his wife.

Though furious that he had taken the side of Hazel, Amelia blinked and reached cloud9 when he addressed Hazel as sister in law! Was he seriously considering her as his wife?!!!

If that was the case then she was ready to bear hazel in the meanwhile but once she got married, she would make sure that Alcastra did not keep friendship with lowly knights like Richard.

She would force him to only talk with equals!

Her face glowed only with the thought of the future. Oblivious to her thought, Alcastra took a breath of relief when he felt the bloodlust going to fade.

All he wanted was to end this cursed meal and leave from here at one price, then all this family could go to hell for all he cared for.

But the god was not in a mood to listen to him at all.

George, who was getting irritated by the continuous interruptions of his family, could not handle it anymore. He was waiting for Hazel to start the topic about business but the damn girl was busy enjoying the meal like she had been eating the food for the very first time.

So he was right. The girl didn't even have the money to have a good meal all this while. Yet she dared to ask him for the palace.

It was only his magnanimity that he agreed to her foolish request. But now she had to do her part too.

"Darling, are you not forgetting something?" he called hazel in a sweet tone but she did not even turn to look at him.

She continued to take small spoons of her meal as if she was starving. Did she not even know that a lady should not eat so much in the presence of everyone!!

"Yes father, what did I forget?" asked Amelia while fluttering her long lashes and he frowned.

"I was not calling you! I was calling your sister who is busy eating her fill.. She seemed to be so lost in eating that she did not even listen to me." he tried to sound hilarious but at the same time he glared at the girl with fury.

Hazel finally raised her head and looked at her father with a confused face which was soon replaced by an amused smile.

"Did you call me darling father?" she asked and when he nodded, she chuckled and shook her head, but her eyes were turned cold and so as her voice that had hardened like she was talking to a stranger

"Forgive my ignorance. I did not know that as you have never called me darling in my whole life ever!"

"........."
