I Accidentally Slept With My Future Brother In Law Chapter 02

Everyone said Rowan was cold, abstinent, and kept away from women.

What if he truly felt nothing for women?

I’d live the rest of my life like a widow.

I liked the abstinent type, but not the actually abstinent kind!

And what if he was gay?

I’d be his beard—the wife of a gay man.

As for Elian, there was no need to say more.

He’d returned from the border wars at eighteen, covered in the aura of battle.

The blood on his hands was more than all the pastries Diana had ever eaten.

I truly feared he was rough and violent, quick to hurt others.

Diana’s soft nature couldn’t stand even a little roughness.

Besides, he was tall and burly.

What if he was completely useless underneath it all?

Our lives would be ruined.

I pulled Diana into the back garden and laid out all my worries.

Her mouth stuffed with cake, she mumbled, “So?”

“So at the royal banquet tonight, we’re testing them. We’re finding out what they’re made of!”

She hesitated. “That’s not right…”

“There’ll be roasted boar, beef pot pie, and almond panna cotta.”

“I’m in.”

OK, got it.

The royal feast was in full swing, wine flowing and cups clinking.

The Waldergrove brothers sat directly across from us.

Rowan Waldergrove wore an ivory silk and gold-embroidered cotehardie, tailored sharp and noble, with subtle gold patterns woven into the fabric.

Stunning.

But far too cold.

And beside him, Elian Waldergrove.

Wow, what a tanned hot boy.

The Royal Knight Commander wasn’t in fancy court robes.

He wore a dark, tight-fitting knight’s uniform.

A black silver-trimmed knight’s tunic, shoulder guards etched with the royal crest, a wide leather sword belt cinched at his waist.

He’d just come back from the border, travel-worn, and had been dragged straight to the palace without stopping at his private manor.

I poked Diana. “How’s yours?”

She glanced at Elian, then went back to gnawing a pork trotter.

“Not bad. Looks like he’s got skills.”

“I meant his face!”

“Roasted pork face is amazing.”

“……”

Never mind.

Nothing was more beautiful than pork in her eyes.

I signaled her with my eyes.

“Targets locked. Move in.”

Halfway through the feast, I lifted my gilded goblet.

Diana stayed close at my side.

We walked slowly toward the Waldergrove brothers.

“Lord Waldergrove, Knight Commander, we’ve long admired your reputations.”

Rowan lifted his eyes and glanced at me faintly.

Then he looked at Elian, his tone calm.

“This is your future sister-in-law.”

“That one is your destined fiancée.”

The two brothers sitting together were strikingly handsome.

I raised my cup.

“Lord Waldergrove strategizes masterfully in court. The Knight Commander is fearless and undefeated on the battlefield. We sisters have always admired you deeply. A toast to you both!”

My sister: “Same here.”

I drank it down in one gulp.

Good. The two men drank theirs too.

I poured another.

“This one, for your stable power and lasting fame.”

My sister, same as before: “Same here.”

“This one, for your endless victories on the battlefield.”

My sister, still: “Same here.”

…

Cup after cup.

But the Waldergrove brothers had incredible tolerance for alcohol.

Diana and I were nearly drunk, but they still stood steady.

No. The plan couldn’t fail tonight.

I lifted another cup.

“This one is for our smooth wedding in advance!”

Diana was completely drunk. “I… hic… same here.”

After who knew how many cups, their bodies swayed slightly.

A palace servant waiting nearby quickly stepped forward and bowed.

“His Majesty has prepared resting chambers within the palace. You two gentlemen should retire for a short while.”

They took the bait.

Diana and I exchanged a look, understanding perfectly.

“You handle yours. I’ll handle mine!”
