If it were under normal circumstances, I would have beaten the hell out of him, as I did

ZARA'S POV "Carl, can you tell me what's going on. why do you look so calm? why does it look like you knew I was here already?" Tell me what's going on. Carl stared at me for a while, as if not knowing what to say. "Your abduction was planned by me, it was me who asked Kieran to abduct you." What! did he just say he was the one who ordered my abduction? I stared at him, gobsmacked. Why would he even do that, what was his reason? "Explain why you abducted me, why would you even do a thing like that?" I was eager to hear an explanation, but Carl, on the other hand, stayed quiet staring at me. ... Prince Kieran glanced at Carl and could tell he was nervous. If someone told him that a woman would make Carl nervous, he would never have believed it. Princess Zara, just who was this woman? Carl has finally met his match, Kieran thought. He immediately dismissed his guards, even though they were reluctant, and wanted to watch the whole thing, they still had to obey their prince's or

Both people from Everton and other nations came to witness Carl's wedding. They were all gobsmacked when Carl announced his wedding. It even led to different questions... "Did king Carl find princess Zara, why didn't he announce it? If he didn't find princess Zara, who then, is he getting married to... could it be someone else? A smirk played at the corner of Carl's lip as he stood majestically in his wedding attire. He couldn't wait to see the reaction of everyone, when they find out, that Zara didn't get abducted. Particularly King Arthur. Carl was anxious to see the look on his face when he gets to know, that he was played. The whole crowd was in a state of distress and their anxiety grew even more as Zara still didn't show up and they've been waiting for quite a while.

"I'm here now Lia," I said, explaining everything that had happened. My parents and queen Catherine also came to hug me. They were so happy that I was back in Everton. While aunt Anna, on the other hand, was a different case. "Zara, so tell me what happened between you and Carl. Did you leave because you wanted to be alone and seduce the king?" Aunt Anna blabbered. "Aunt it's not what you think, Carl was not even with me, remember. He was in Everton, while I was in Nival," I reasoned. "But he still went

"I need to find him soon, or my efforts will be wasted," she thought.She walked into his office, and he was not there. she also went to the throne room, but could not find him. Where could he be? She thought."Guards, have you seen the king?" "No Milady."After looking around for minutes, she still couldn't find him."Did he go back to his chamber?" Gwen panicked.

Married to the arrogant king 32: Interrogation
Gwen knelt before queen Catherine, whose gaze burnt holes through her."How did you know Zara was in the bathing chamber? Why did you go there, and what was your motive? Speak Gwen," Catherine screeched. Gwen was sweating profusely, as she picked on her nails. She rack her brain for a lie to tell Catherine, but she couldn't think of any."Tell me, Lady Gwen, why did you accuse the queen Zara of such a dispeakable thing. you sounded like you were sure the Zara would be in there with a man, unfortunately for you, that man was my son," Catherine has always seen through Gwen. She knew Gwen was an ambitious, selfish, and conniving woman. She knew that Gwen must have tried to do something, but fortunately, it failed.

After all, if her servant Morgana, had not given her false information, she wouldn't be in this mess. "It's
Married to the arrogant king 33: Passing a verdict
"It was the devil," Morgana babbled. "The devil? Catherine asked in disbelief. "Yes, queen mother. I was passing near the king and queen's bathing chamber and was so curious to see what it looked like since I've never been in there, that was when I saw queen Zara and a man. His back was turned to me, so I didn't know he was the king. I don't know what made me assume it was another man, and I ran and told lady Gwen about it. I'm really sorry queen mother." Catherine was speechless. Although she didn't believe a word Morgana said, she just kept mum. Gwen on the other hand was so happy. "I'm glad this lowlife servant didn't expose me. It's a good thing she didn't think queen Catherine could protect her or she would just be fooling herself and digging her own grave." Morgana saw the smile on Gwen's face and almost scoffed. All high-class people are the same. Gwen had put all the blame on her because she was a servant and would never be able to defend herself. Although she had wanted
Married to the arrogant king 34: They want an heir
"We think the one behind it is king Arthur of Neptune.""Why would he want to attack us?" King Alan asked."Your majesty, I think it's because we allied with Everton.""Yes, that could be true, because as far as we know, we haven't provoked king Arthur in any way, our alliance with Everton could only be the reason.""Your majesty, I think we should ask King Carl for help. You know Neptune is far stronger and has a lot more soldiers than we do. there is no way we could face them if they decide to go to war."King Alan remained mute, thinking of what to do. He knew his council members were right, Azrael could not afford to go to war with Neptune. the outcome would be very bad."Your majesty, say something," his council members urged."We can't ask king Carl for help," King Alan voiced out."But why your majesty?" Why can we not ask him for help, after all, that's the reason Azrael allied with Everton, so they can help us in times like this," one of the council members reasoned. He seeme

"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."

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.

“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.

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
