Day before.
"Brother, where is my brother?" The young woman stormed in the room finding her new sister in law sprawled on the bed sleeping blissfully. With a lazy motion, she pointed at the next door where the was bathroom. She sighed and started pacing up and down the room.
Finally, the door towards the bathroom. He was stunned seeing his younger sister standing there and looking at him weirdly. 'What are you doing here? "
She saw that he was trying to cover his body so she turned her body away. "Brother, I would never do this if it were not an emergency. You know me well enough."
That was true. This sister of his was famous for her propriety. That she entered his private rooms just like this meant there was something really bad going on.
"Go to my office. I'll speak to you there." Now he could send her out only as his body was to bare to have a logical talk.
With a swift move, she opened the door and then stopped there. With a half-turn, she looked at the new sister in law and sighed. "Don't you know any conduct?"
It is true she disliked Nalan Ko the most, but she never was disgraceful like this. Lately, she started comparing the two women and hated the feeling that she had. They are incomparable. Literally.
The only difference is their background. If Nalan were from some famous family, how good that would be. But looking at doting eyes that her brother had for this woman she knew the real truth. He never loved Nalan. Just felt obligated to her. Her brother is a fool. And when he finds out, it will be too late.
She glanced at him and spoke with a cold voice. ''Hurry up, this definitely can't wait until you finish your lowey dowey here. It is really important.'' Then she closed door note ven waiting for him to answer, completely stunning him.
The woman on the bed opened her eyes and looked at the door as cold glint passed her eyes. ''She is unbridled. You need to teach her some lessons. This is not a place she can come in as she wants. Thi sis last time I just let it pass. Next time I will hurt her.''
He knew her so long and knew that cruel side of her as well. Before he didn't mind but now thinking about it, she is his sister, she wouldn't harm her really. Right? ''She is still a child. I'll talk to her. Go sleep a bit longer. We don't have any quests yet. Or do you want me to quest guild?''
She pouted and looked at him while opening widely the blanket. ''Are you sure you want to chat with your sister now?'' Her completely bare body was bathed under the light shining transLucent and making her even more beautiful than she was.
His manly ego couldn't handle the invitation and soon they scrambled in the sheets while his sister anxiously paced in the office. On the door, a slight knock could be heard and she heard servant calling. ''Come in!''
He could see her face becoming dark and his heart shook. With slight stutter, he conveyed her a message. ''Young master said that nothing could be that important so you two should talk later on. Much later.''
She chuckled. ''Indeed. Then tell him this. I am leaving the house as I got an offer from my guild to live there. My master doesn't care about the Ko family line so even if something happens here it won't directly affect me. I wanted to warn him, but as he has no wish to be bothered then so be it. Have a long life brother, I want you to regret it getting a new wife. Sincerely your sister, An Bao.''
Servants in this household were trained well so when her message passed the door suddenly silence became and then a huge crash could be heard. He runs away from the door as a sudden fight began inside the room.
When Mater Ko came out he had completely dark expression and behind him was bed broken in pieces and woman that just sat dazedly on the floor and looked at his back. ''You really did this for your sister? I am your wife!''
He turned his eyes that became ice cold and chuckled. ''Exactly. You are. Now clean the room until I am back and get ready for next round. Tonight I will show you how I treat my wife really. Until now I treated you kindly and lovingly as I truly love you, but if you act like this I might lose my attention. Don't forget something. In this society I can have multiple wives. I just let Nalan go as it was her deep wish and she deserved her freedom. But you, on the other hand, did all to make me be yours. Now you have to handle consequences. I hope you can.''
She opened her eyes widely in astonishment. ''You knew?''
He was about to leave but stopped in tracks. ''Yes. knew you installed love worm in me. Actually, I love you even before that and ate it to show you how much I care as you always had that fear. Because I was truly infuriated with you I didn't care about anything else. My wife, my children. I loved you and cared about you. But I couldn't take you home as I already had a wife neither I could present you as my concubine. So I had to find a stupid reason to get rid of Nalan. But just that you know. All those small machinations behind her back, I knew and did nothing. Because I love you.''
He made one more step and sighed. ''This house, name, jewelry, clothes, every single item in this house BELONGS to Nalan Ko. Early or later she will take it back. Until then we have to work hard to make enough stones and buy ourselves own home. In another city. I want to have children with you, Luli. But if you try to harm my family, I will show you how cruel I can really be.''
She froze by his words as stayed frozen as she lost sight of him.
