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

"Because only you know all the secret passages of the palace so that no one would be able to catch you and you can come and go with ease!" gasps and roars could be heard all around!

They were all pondering why the knight did not notice the assassin! Why have they not noticed anything or why were they not attacked!

The accident was very peculiar! But now that they connect the dots, it is easy to understand.

If the person knew the way to the secret passages and enter directly into a particular room then the knights could stay clueless even when the murder was done.

All the gazes turned to Jonathan who fumed! He could not believe that the girl was using all his cards against him.

"What do you mean? Do you think I will do that? Everyone knew that this work was of a beast not human! Can a human even kill a girl into such small pieces!

You all have lost your mind for even doubting me!" he hollered as he stared back at all of them who slowly took their gaze away.

Though they were not looking at him directly after his shouting, the seed of doubt had been sown and they all started to doubt the man now! They were exchanging glances and whispering as if trying to check the thoughts of others.

His eyes turned cold and he gritted as he looked at the girl who was still welling tears as if she was too upset with the death of her loving sister!

She was sharper than he had thought! He wanted to capture her in his honey trap but she was the first to capture him in her emotional drama!

"Have you all gone crazy! The accident was caused by a wild animal! A beast! How could you even accuse a human for it!" he asked back with a calm voice this time as if he wanted to discuss it properly. 

His dark red face was looking much normal now and even his chest was not heaving up and down like before.

"I have not seen the body yet! So, I do not know that!

But everyone knows that you have a bloodhound! Hunting dogs and even other beasts in your palace!

Not to forget that a person might have killed her so gruesomely to put the blame on the beasts!

Are the beasts so small that they roam in the palace without being noticed by the knights or are they smart enough that they can use secret doors and passages?" she asked back as she wiped her tears and shook her head.

If that was not enough, she even charged forward and held his shirt in her hand and pulled him!

"How cruel of you! She loved you so much yet you did that to her! She died for your love! You are her murderer! I will never forgive you, did you hear that? I will take revenge from you!" Her emotions were so vivid and touching that everyone shuddered with her action but at the same time felt pity on the girl too.

"What the hell are you even taking? It did not make any sense at all! Do you think any of them would even believe in it?" he glowered as the aide and Alex came forward to pull her apart from the man who was shouting back!

Their fight seems to be intense with Hazel blaming the man continuously!

"Hazel! This is not the time to fight with the man! You should go to the palace and be with your family! They need you!" Alex replied in a soft voice as he looked at the bundle of mess in front of his eyes.

If he did not know any better, he would have thought that she was heartbroken by the death of her sister! He shuddered with the thought of what she would have done to him if she would have really cared about Amelia.

He still could not forget her eyes full of fear and the way she was trying to run away from him.

She wiped her tears from her both hands and took a few deep breaths as if she was trying to hold herself. 

After a few seconds, she nodded her head, "you are right! Richard would have already reached the house. They all need me too!

Alex, can you escort me to the palace. I did not feel I had the strength to go alone!" The man looked at her with a sigh but nodded her head.

"Yes, my lady! I will take you to the palace of the count. Come!" He helped her in standing properly and held her hand to give her strength.

She looked at him gratefully as she nodded her head and they both walked back to the carriage with their hands entwined together.

"........" while the girl was already gone. Many were still stealing glances with Jonathan.

He glared back at those people who looked at him suspiciously!

"What do you want to say huh? Do you really think a human could do that? 

She was too emotional after hearing that her sister had died. That was why she was talking nonsense!

But all of you, you are rational enough, do you think i can do this?" he asked back with patience this time.

It would not be any good if they all would start doubting him.

When no one said anything, he ran a hand in his hair and walked out from there as he did not have any strength left to argue with any of them.

With rage, he walked into his office and sat on the chair but did not take the initiative to open any file as his mind was already in a mess when he felt there was too much silence in the room.

He glared at his side and asked in a mocking voice,.

"What now, do you even doubt me too?" the man did not dare to reply! 

If he would say yes, he was sure that he would not be able to see the sun of tomorrow. The man would make sure that he would be killed then and there!

"No, no my lord! What are you even talking about? I do not doubt you at all." he shook his head abruptly and only then did Jonathan feel at ease and leaned on his office chair to gain some comfort.

He picked up the cup of tea from the table and took a big gulp of the warm liquid to calm himself. The bitter and hot liquid filled his throat and finally his edgy nerves started to relax.

Why was he even getting agitated! The girl was in trauma and speaking nonsense! Even if they were analyzing her words now, they would soon realize how foolish they were to even think like that just like his aide!

At least one of them still has some brain left! Just when he was starting to relax with that thought, the voice of his aide whispered in the room again, 

"Even if you have done that, you must have your own reasons! The girl was really forgetting her place when she tried to double cross you!

She continued to assure you that she loved you while she tried to take advances towards the crown prince!

She only deserves to be killed! I support your actions completely my lord!" The aide had whispered those words with the thought of impressing his master and getting appreciation from him but his words only enraged the man whose body had finally started to relax.

His grip on the cup tightened and he threw the cup straight on the head of his master,

"What the hell are you talking about? Haven't I told you that I have not done it? I have not killed Amelia!

For christ sake whhy are all of you not believing my words. When I have told you more than a hundred times that it was the work of a beast!!

A beast! Did you hear that? None of the humans could do that? So what if I know the secret passages of the house! It did not mean like I would not only go and kill the girl but also cut her body into so many small pieces!?

Damn! I did not know how could you fool even think like that? Do you think I am a beast huh?" he asked as he threw the cup of tea on the head of the aide which instantly started bleeding and his whole face turned red!

The man bowed his head in fear when he felt that if he spoke further the man could kill him too, 

"What? Why are you silent now, tell me? How did you even conclude that?" he demanded in a loud roar that his voice even started to go out of the office, that everyone's eyes and ears darted on the door,

"Then my lord, where were you last night?"

"............"
