Married to the arrogant king 20: Banquet
ZARA'S POVAnd how do you intend on doing that?" someone said from behind, startling me.I immediately turn in the direction, to see Carl with a smirk on his face. I was sure my cheek was red from embarrassment. Oh God, I wish the ground would just open, so I could enter. This is all aunt's fault, if only she didn't keep pestering me. I glanced up to see Carl still smirking, I'm sure he was enjoying this situation."I...It's n..not what you think," I stuttered."I'll leave you two now," aunt muttered, with a big smile, before walking away.Great, she just left me after putting me in this situation."But I heard everything, you just said. you will seduce the king, and I am the king. I get it you can't resist my charms."Gosh, he's so full of himself. If not for the fact I was so embarrassed right now. "Well, I'm sure you are not the only king. There are many others, I could have been talking about one of them," I blurted out in my defense.His gaze immediately darken, he gra

ZARA'S POVLike what you see? I crouched, whispering in Carl's ears. He scoffed, rolling his eye.“Don't flatter yourself, I've seen better,” he retorted.I glanced over at the man standing next to Carl. He had an evil glint in his eye but smiled immediately I looked at him.He was also handsome and well-built, but not as handsome as Carl. “I'm Zara, princess of Azrael, it's a pleasure to meet you,” I greeted with a slight bow.“King Arthur of Neptune, the pleasure is mine,” he replied. Taking my right hand, he placed a kiss on it.Carl, immediately took my hand, wiping off, where Arthur had just kissed, and I chuckled.“I don't like it when someone else touches what is mine,” Carl muttered, glaring at Arthur. Arthur sneered, looking at Carl with a scorn. Soon she will no longer be yours, he thought, before giving Carl a fake smile. He glanced at princess Zara, his gaze filled with admiration.Carl notice the spark in Arthur's eyes, and pulled Zara closer to him, making her s
Married to the arrogant king 22: The princess is missing
“My king, princess Zara, has gone missing,” Jerald announced. I looked at him like he had gone nuts. How can that annoying princess go missing? Did she run away?“What do you mean Jerald, how could the princess go missing? Jerald immediately fell to his knees.“My king, I'm sorry, I assigned our most elite warriors to guard the princess at all times, but they were killed. I think some of our guards betrayed us and let the enemy into the palace.”I asked you to protect her, how could you let this happen?” I roared.“You all are useless. just pray I find the princess, or else, I won't spare any of you,” I yelled, walking away. ...Jerald could tell that Carl was angry, and when he was angry, he was extremely dangerous. So he trailed after him slowly. he knew Carl was going to unleash hell on them for failing to protect the princess.King Arthur was gobsmacked after what he just heard. he had indeed sent men to abduct the princess, but they were not real assassins.Although he made pl
Married to the arrogant king 23: In another nation
I'm Giselle your highness, and you're in Nival." Nival? did she say Nival. "What are did you say?" I asked to be sure."I said, you are in Nival, your highness. and this is for you," she replied, putting the food on a table.To say I was confused, was an understatement. How can I be in Nival? Nival was a nation not far from Everton, and they shared a good relationship. How could they have abducted me? They had no reason to...Could it be that they went against Everton? What could have happened between these two nations?"Giselle, can I see the king?""I'm sorry your highness, you'll have to wait for a day to see him because King Alfred is currently in Everton." He is in Everton. What the hell is going on here. The more I thought of it, the more confused I get."I will take my leave, for now, Enjoy your meal, your highness."After Giselle left, I glanced at the food on the table, my stomach grumbling at the sight.I sat down and began munching on the food. If I wanted to escape, I n
Married to the arrogant king 24: The plot
In Everton, things didn't cool down, rather it got worse. "Your majesty, I fail to understand how the princess could get abducted in a palace that is heavily guarded and defended by well-trained and dangerous guards." "Yes your majesty, I find it strange, that they could easily infiltrate the palace. Although they had the support of those traitors, who betrayed Everton, it can't be that easy." "How is it possible that they escaped Everton? Someone of high status must have helped them, not just the guards. There must be a traitor among us. "Yes I agree, who do you think is capable of breaking into the palace." We have the best defense in all the seven nations, and from this incident, everyone is beginning to doubt that. "You must do something, King Carl, we must get the princess at all cost, or else Everton will become the laughing stock of all the other nations. Carl sat down, silently watching his council as they kept blabbing. "My king, you should say something, not just your
Married to the arrogant king 25: Rogue princess
Gwen walked into Carl's chamber with one purpose in mind, seducing him. where could he be? she thought as she couldn't find him."Carl," she called."Lady Gwen, King Carl is out of the palace," one of the guards reported."Where did he go?" "I don't know Lady Gwen, he didn't say where he was going, but my guess is that he went to find princess Zara."Gwen clenched her fist, her rage swelling. How could he go out to find that princess, Is it that Carl has feelings for her? No that can't be possible."I know where my brother is," Prince Adrian cut in, with Eric, Zara's little nephew.They had been playing around close to Gwen's chambers and overheard her conversation with her father.Eric and Adrian had become best friends since Eric came to Everton. "Who is that woman? Eric questioned. "My brother's mistress. Adrian may be five years old, but he knew everything that was going on between Carl and Gwen."I don't like her. she wants my aunt Zara dead, so she could snatch the king away.
Married to the arrogant king 26: Failed plan
ZARA'S POV I paced around the room, thinking about what Giselle told me. I was getting married, but to whom. It can't be Carl, after all, I was abducted. who could it be? Is it prince Kieran? Uhhhh! I ruffled my hair in frustration. Maybe I should have just let prince Kieran explain himself instead of beating him up. What do I do now, how do I escape if he intends to marry me? Think Zara, think. There was no way I could fight my way out of this because I would be outnumbered. Carl, you idiot, annoying fool. What is taking you so long to come rescue me? If you don't come now I won't spare you. Why should I even wait for him to come save me, I should save myself. I ran toward the door, twisting the doorknob, and thankfully it was open. Two guards were standing outside the chamber, and immediately turn to look at me. "Your highness," they greeted with a bow. "Take me to see prince Kieran," I ordered. "Your highness, prince Kieran does not want to see you. I knew he was still
Married to the arrogant king 27: Reunion
I froze immediately I heard the guards say slit my throat. How do I escape this, should I fight them? But if I do that will only alert more guards and the prince."Inform prince Kieran, that there is an intruder in the palace," one of the guards yelled.A guard immediately left to call prince Kieran...."Prince Kieran, we have an intruder in the palace," a guard announced.Kieran glanced at Carl, " who could the intruder be?""I think I know who," Carl replied.They both followed the guard to where the intruder was standing.Both Carl and Kieran watched how the intruder was surrounded by a group of guards.The intruder's head was down and he looked so small and frightened, standing amidst the guard."What's going on here" Kieran yelled...."What's going on here," prince Kieran yelled, and I shivered slightly.I felt a bead of sweat forming on my forehead, feeling slightly afraid to look at him. If it were under normal circumstances, I would have beaten the hell out of him, as I did

"Your majesty, we are under attack," a guard yelled, making King Alan's eyes widen in shock. Although he wasn't scared for himself, he was scared for his nation and the people. "Lyarra, I need you to take all the old men, women, and children, to the secret room," he tells queen Lyarra. She nodded in disagreement. "No Alan, I want to stay and fight alongside you." King Alan sighed. "Lyarra, I know you want to fight, but right now, the safety of the women and children is more important. And It is your duty to protect them." "Okay, I'll do that. But please be safe," queen Lyarra replied. King Alan nodded, before turning around to leave. Although they were taken by surprise, he was not going to let them win. King Alan put on his battle armor, taking his weapon. The good thing was that king Darian and his men had not bridged Azrael's wall. Due to their strong defense. Azrael was always defended by special night guards, in case of a surprise attack like this one. But their defense wa
Married to the arrogant king 79: Don't trust Myla
ZARA'S POVI gasped, giving Lia a surprised look. "I wonder where she has been all this while!" I muttered, and Lia nodded."I also wonder the same. Don't you think it's suspicious," Lia retorted and I chuckled."Lia you always find everyone suspicious. Remember, Myla is our friend, so we shouldn't jump to a conclusion and start suspecting her.""If you say so Zara," Lia said with an eye roll."Take me to Myla," I said, and followed her as she lead the way.When we got to the hallway, I spotted Myla standing by a pillar, glancing around curiously. When her gaze landed on me, she smiled."Queen Zara!" She called, running toward me."Where have you been Myla?" I asked immediately she got to where I was."Zara, I was so scared when you and Lia disappeared from the palace, so I also left going in search of you. I recently found out that you've returned, so I came back," Myla explained.I smiled, giving her a light knock on her head. "Silly girl, why would you go out to look for us
Married to the arrogant king 78: War strategy
CARL'S POV"My king, it's lady Gwen," Jerald answered, and I looked at him in disbelief."What did you say?" I asked, to be sure I wasn't hearing things.Jerald sighed. "Your Majesty, you might find it hard to believe. But the person behind queen Zara's poisoning is Lady Gwen," he muttered.I was gobsmacked. No, I didn't even want to believe it. There's no way Gwen would do such a thing. Seeing my doubtful expression, Jerald said, "Your majesty, I investigated this matter thoroughly, because even I didn't believe. The first time when we interrogated Lilith, I suspected that she was hiding something, so I interrogated her again. At first, she was reluctant to tell me because she was scared. but after much persuasion and assurance that I'd protect her, she opened up. She told me that the voice of the person who gave the servant girl the concoction sounded like Gwen. She also said, the lady(Gwen) gave the servant strict instructions not to tell Zara it was from her, knowing t

ONE WEEK LATER The past week has been peaceful for Carl and Zara as Nadia's endless schemes and plots to separate them always fail. Although her plans fail, Nadia didn't stop scheming and attacking. instead, she became more violent and frequent with her attacks, but somehow Gage always anticipated her movements and stopped them from happening. On the other hand, King Alan and King Neil returned to their Nations after Zara's return, making Nadia feel alone and insecure. She felt like someone was watching her every movement but she couldn't wrap her head around who it was. Also because bad things have been happening to her. Like finding snakes or insects in her room, and also seeing Gwen's ghost. People were starting to think that she was going insane and was unfit to be a queen. Meanwhile, Zara and Lia couldn't solve the mystery of Myla's sudden disappearance. They were extremely worried that something might have happened to her.

"It's queen Zara," the person yelled, pointing toward her direction, and everyone gasped, twirling in the direction the person pointed. They were all gobsmacked. They couldn't believe their eyes. "Is it an imagination or is queen Zara right in front of us?" "Zara!" Carl and king Alan called at the same time, striding toward her. "Father, Carl," Zara also called, climbing down from her horse to go meet them. Once they got to where she is, King Alan embraced his daughter, with teary eyes. "Zara, where were you? we all taught something happened to you," king Alan said. Zara pulled away from the hug, giving her father a sad smile, "I'm sorry, I made you all worry, but I swear that it wasn't intentional," Zara replied. King Alan nodded. He wanted to ask Zara her reason for going missing for several days, but he decided against it, once he saw the impatient look Carl was giving him. He decided to give the husband and wife time to talk. King Alan stepped aside, leaving the way for Carl

Carl, King Alan, and Jerald left Everton, going in search of Zara, and they all took different routes to enable fast and better results... Nadia and king Neil argued amongst themselves, due to fear of leaving Everton."Nadia, you should pray that Carl finds Zara, else, I'll make you get married to Lord Brad," King Neil rasped.Nadia stared at her father in disbelief. "Father I can't believe you're saying that! You know Lord Brad is old and has up to five wives, how can you get me married to him?"King Neil scoffed. "That's what you get for acting rashly.""Father, you should also pray for Zara's return, instead of thinking about getting me married to old Lord Brad," Nadia said, frowning in annoyance.... Meanwhile, Carl made his way back to Everton with a heavy heart, after failing to find Zara. He felt ashamed and hated himself for not being able to find her.'Where on earth could she be?' He pondered. Although he didn't find her, he still had plans of going to the other nations in
Married to the arrogant king 74: I'm alive
“Queen Zara, I am your avenging angel.”I was gobsmacked. ‘What does he mean by my avenging angel?’ I glanced up to look at the strange knight, before asking, “What do you mean?”He was quiet for a while, then he said, “What I mean by I'm your avenging angel is that: I'll help you take revenge on all your enemies, every single one of them. And aside from being your avenging angel, I'll also be your protective shield. And the reason is that I owe you something that can never be returned, but in this way, I can make up for it.”I didn't understand what he meant by that. ‘Why did he say that he owes me? I don't even know him.’ I wanted to ask what he meant but decided against it. Right now I'm more worried about Lia and Jamie than about knowing the knight. As if reading my mind, he said, “Queen Zara, your friends are alright, nothing happened to them.” I sighed in relief, happy that Lia and Jamie were safe, but a sudden reminder of Theon made my heart clench in sadness. Although this m

Lia and I gasped in horror. “Draco!” we screamed when he came from back of the house. “How is he here? I thought he was drunk to a stupor.”Draco let out a peal of amused laughter, a dangerous glint flashing across his gaze. Then he said, “Yes Zara, it's me. Your Draco, your Love. And I brought you a gift.”“Zara, I thought he was drunk, how come he's here? What should we do now?” Lia said, and I could hear the panic in her voice, as she gripped my hand tightly.I sighed, tilting my gaze to meet her teary ones, and I felt a stab in my heart when I saw the fear, anguish, and helplessness in them.Right now even I don't know what to do. I was still in a state of shock and surprise, making it impossible for me to think.Draco walked towards us, with his hands behind him.“Don't you want to know what it is?” he asked, with an evil grin.Lia and I moved back slightly, our eyes fixed on his every move, and we heard him chuckle. “Zara, there's nowhere to go, my men have already surrounded t
