"I've missed this Carl," Gwen whispered, grinding her hips against his.She pushed him to the bed, climbing onto him. Her pussy directly on his cock, as she moved her hips back and forth, trailing kisses from his neck, down to his chest."Zara," Carl groaned holding Gwen's hips like his life depended on it. Gwen tore her lips away in anger. "How could he mention that witch's name when he's with me?" She rasped, now convinced that Carl has really fallen for Zara."All I have to do is get pregnant then he'll love me instead."Gwen decided to ignore Carl's outburst and carry on with her plan.She lean forward to kiss him again, when someone knocked on her door."Who could that be? She thought.It's the middle of the night already, who would be awake by now?"Gwen wanted to ignore it, but the knock came again, this time more persistent and harsh. The person was pounding on her door, with so much force that fear gripped her."Wh...who is it?" She stuttered but got no reply.Carl who was
At that moment, someone barged into the room cutting Carl off. We both snapped our heads in the direction to see Gwen standing in the doorway, a shocked expression plastered on her face.Both Carl and I gave Gwen a questioning look."Za...zara you are here," she stuttered.I raised my eyebrow, not giving her any reply. I was too confused at the moment to even think of any. ...Gwen woke up with a smile on her face. She finally achieved her goal. Last night was the best night of my life, she thought."Carl," she whispered, looking down at the hand wrapped around her waist. An even bigger smile formed on her lips, remembering the way they had sex last night, and how he couldn't get enough of her."Maybe he still likes me after all," she thought, turning over to get a glimpse of a face. It was then she realized it was someone else, it was her guard.She jerked up immediately, looking at the man in horror. "he's not Carl, oh God he's not Carl, she thought, looking around to get a proper
IN AZRAEL"Your majesty, this is now beyond our power. More citizens are getting killed each day, and even the troops sent to subdue the attack on the border were all slaughtered. what do we do now?"King Alan sighs, looking distressed. He was worried that if he didn't find a solution to the problem, more of his people would die. He felt bad that as a king, he couldn't protect his people in times of trouble.What could King Arthur want? they already allied with Everton, so even if he keeps attacking them, there was no going back."Your Majesty, this is the reason I suggested we ask king Carl for help. If you had listened to me back then, things would not have escalated to this point.""Yes he's right, things would have been resolved if we just asked Carl for help.""Can you just shut your mouth? If we have to ask Carl for every little thing what does that make us. Carl has a nation of his own, that also needs protecting, we can't just turn to him every time we're in trouble."Soo
Then she did something I didn't expect, she suddenly, jumped on me. Ahhh... Lia screamed, taking a step back. While the strange girl wrapped her arms, around my neck, and her legs around my waist, making us both fall to the ground, she still didn't let go. "Get off her," Lia yelled, trying to get her away from me. "Help me," the strange girl whispered before someone(Lia) pulled her away. "Help me, they want to kill me, please," she yelled, grasping my arm, her eyes filled with tears. "My queen, she's a stranger and could be dangerous, you can't trust her," Lia advised. I looked at the strange girl, who was giving me a helpless look, then at Lia. "Lia, I know she's a stranger, but she's helpless, and if I don't help her, there's no way I would be at peace, so let me talk to her," I reasoned. Lia sighed, nodding her head in agreement, and I gave her a light smile before turning back to the stranger. "What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Myla," she whispered. "Myla, you don
Carl and I looked at each other, then the physician. "Pregnant!" We both yelled."Yes, pregnant. The queen is pregnant," he repeated, smiling widely.What! How can I be pregnant, we only had sex once? I thought, blinking repeatedly."Are you sure? Maybe she just ate too much, you know she's a glutton," Carl blurted out, pointing at my belly."What's that suppose to mean?" I yelled, glaring at him."Your majesty, my queen, there is no need to argue. If you don't believe me, you can ask another physician to check the queen, I'm sure they will say the same thing.""There's no need for that. I've known you for years, there's no way you'd make a mistake over something like that," Carl muttered."Thank you! your majesty. I'd advise the Queen not to do any strenuous activities. She needs a lot of rest, and also has to eat mostly fruits and vegetables," the physician cautioned."Thank you! sir Thomas," Carl lauded, giving him a small smile, and he nodded, returning the smile."Congratulations
ZARA'S POV"Zara, tell us how it happened," Queen Catherine, Aunt Anna, and some servants gathered around me, giving me a curious look."Tell you, how what happened?" I repeated feigning ignorance. I knew what they were talking about, but pretended not to."I mean, the sex between you and the king," aunt blurted out, and I felt my cheek heating up. Even though I can't remember how it all happened, I still feel shy thinking about it."Aunt, why should I discuss, such a sensitive matter with you all," I replied, trying to avoid the topic."Okay fine, don't tell us," Queen Catherine said, and they all sighed, giving me a disappointed look. I know aunt would not leave the matter, so I suggested we had fun."Anyone who can catch me will be allowed to name my baby," I yelled, running away. It's been a long time since I had fun, I guess being a queen, took all the fun. CARL'S POVI stood on the balcony, a huge smile on my face as I watch Zara laugh and play with Catherine, lady
"Allies? why should I trust someone like you?" Gwen asked? "You don't have to trust me, just work with me." "I don't want to, I already have the help of someone else," Gwen replied, blatantly. "Do you mean the children? you'd be a fool if you reject my offer because of those little children. I'd advise you to pick your allies well. what could mere children, help you with?" Gwen looked at her and thought about what she said. Right now, she seems to be on the losing side because Zara was pregnant. "I'll think about it and get back to you," Gwen told her. "You'd have to think fast, I don't have all the time, in the world," she said, walking out of Gwen's chamber. ZARA'S POV "Zara, did you notice, the king was staring at you from the balcony?" Aunt Anna asked, and I blushed. "No, I didn't," I replied. "Well, he was. can I ask you something?" "Go ahead, Aunt." "Are you in love with the king?" She asked, giving me a curious look. "I don't know aunt," I replied truthfully.
CARL'S POVNow that I've expressed my feelings, I feel like a weight has been lifted off me and I feel happy.Although I was a little disappointed, that she didn't reciprocate my feelings. but as I said, I was going to wait for her. I know Zara was also attracted to me or even felt something for me, but I wanted her to say it.When I kissed her, it felt so good, like a fire ignited in my body and soul, like there was a powerful current flowing through my blood and veins and I wanted more. I wanted to rip off her dress and have my way with her right there, but I couldn't because I had a feeling that we were being watched.I pulled away from to kiss, staring at her and I smiled when I saw how flushed her cheek was. "Zara," I called, taking her hands in mine. "we have to go back to the palace," I told her, but before we could leave, an arrow out of nowhere, flew toward Zara, and I immediately pulled her away.Zara gasped, looking horrified, her body trembling in fear.I didn't w
As the battle went on, Myla and king Luther made their way to Everton. King Luther left twenty thousand men, to battle Carl's men at the border, taking the remaining thirty thousand as they headed to the palace. As they reached Everton, the alarm bell sounded, alerting Zara that the enemy was at their doorstep. "My queen! You're with child, please be careful," Jerald warned, and Zara gave a light smile, before saying, "I will." ... King Luther and Myla made plans to distract Zara. "Myla, you'll take ten thousand men through the secret passage, while I use the remaining twenty thousand to attack queen Zara." Myla nodded. "Alright, father!" Soon the war started and King Luther's men fought Zara's men...king Luther had to admit that Zara was the most beautiful and courageous woman he had ever seen. The way she fought with so much grace and confidence, amongst men, slaying the enemy that came her way... ... "My queen, the war has begun, it's time to leave," Ariel muttered, and
"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
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
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. Zara even insisted that Carl send some soldiers in s
"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
“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
