Married to the arrogant king 44:Orphans and Allies
Gwen took the orphan's right to where Carl and Zara sat. "Children, this is King Carl and queen Zara," Gwen introduced and the children were so happy since it was their first time meeting the king and queen. They immediately ran past Gwen to meet Zara and Carl. Although the children wanted to hug them, they were scared that Zara and Carl would be mean just like Gwen. "Hello children," Zara said, smiling brightly. She opened her arm to the children and they ran into her embrace. "You are not as mean as Lady Gwen," the little girl who had wanted to hug Gwen earlier blurted out, pouting her mouth, and Zara smiled, while Gwen gasped, glaring at the little girl. She has just ruined her plans by calling her mean in front of both Zara and Carl. "What is your name?"Zara asked the little girl. "My name is Ryn" she answered. "Ryn, how old are you?" "I'm four years old." Zara looked at the children and she felt sorry for them because, at such tender age, they didn't have parents. Car

"You"ll have to put this in Zara's drink at the banquet," the spy said, handing Gwen a bottle.Gwen looked at it curiously before asking, "what is it?" "Stop asking so many questions Gwen, just do as I say," the spy answered looking slightly annoyed, and Gwen nodded. ZARA'S POVI sat in front of the mirror, and Carl helped me style my hair. I had asked Lia to do it but Carl insisted that he wanted to do it himself. He even applied makeup to my face and I was amazed at how perfectly he could do it."This is how you put make-up on someone," Carl said in a mock tone, and I smiled, knowing he was talking about the day I put make-up on him."You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," Carl complimented, and I blushed."You're only saying that because I am your wife," I replied and he chuckled."Zara, even before you became my wife, from the first time I saw you, I thought you were the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."When he said that, I felt my heart throb in joy. My che

CARL'S POV"The purple lotus can be found in Neptune, but as it is, Neptune and Everton, are at war, there's no way King Arthur, would agree to give it to us, and even if he does, it will be at a great price. All I can do for the queen now is give her a concoction that will subdue the poison, and keep her alive for at least a week, that's all. you also have to know that the baby, will not survive...I sighed, pacing around, it's like fate has decided to play a cruel joke on me. Just when everything was going well, just when we were happy. And now again, the lotus for saving Zara can only be found in Neptune, an enemy nation."Carl, everything will be alright, you just have to believe that the fates will set it right," Catherine consoled, patting my shoulder, and I turned to her."The fates? I scoffed. Why should I believe in the fates? Why should I? it is the same fate that put me in such a dilemma, it is the same fate that gave me happiness and still took it away. No Cathe
Married to the arrogant king 47: Servant girl
"Guards arrest that servant," Carl growled, pointing at the girl servant.The guards immediately came and seized her and the servant girl trembled in fear. Carl stood up, walking to her. "You," he growled, you were the one who gave my queen that concoction, tell me why you poisoned her... The servant girl shivered at Carl's tone of voice, she glanced up, to take a peek at him, but immediately regretted it.The look in his eyes screamed murder and he looked like a beast, ready to attack its prey."Should I tell king Carl that it was lady Gwen, who gave me the drink? Would he believe me? After all, Lady Gwen belongs to a noble family, and is also a close friend of the king," she pondered."Yo...your majesty, I didn't poison the queen please you have to believe me," she cried, giving Carl a pleading look.Carl scoffed, clenching his fist. His blood was boiling, and he was running out of patience. all he wanted to do now was kill her, but he still wanted to know why she poisoned Zara...
Married to the arrogant king 48: Anonymous person
What Carl saw, left him speechless. The girl was lying on the floor, with foam coming out of her mouth and she look as pale as a ghost.What happened? Carl shrieked. It was just a while ago, he asked the guards to arrest her, and now she's dead. No, she was poisoned.Carl clenched his fist, staring at the servant in anger. He was not angry that she died, he was angry that he didn't get answers to his question, that he didn't get to punish and inflict pain on her...He growled, glancing around the cell when his gaze caught something on the floor. It was a piece of torn cloth, with something written on it. The note was written in blood and Carl guessed that it must be from the servant.He immediately picked the piece of cloth, reading the content. In the note, the servant had written that she'd rather die than be tortured into spilling the name of her master...After reading it, Carl burst into a fit of laughter, but his laughter was not due to amusement, it was out of anger. "So they t
Married to the arrogant king 49: Attacked
Four days laterCarl sat beside Zara, staring at her beautiful pale face. "I'm sorry my queen. sorry that I failed to protect both you and our child and I also failed to give you the Justice you deserve, because I didn't find whoever was responsible for your condition," Carl said, kissing Zara's forehead.Recently, he received replies from three out of the four nations (Azrael, Nival, Greenville) he had sent a message to, asking for the purple lotus, and they all said the same thing. That they didn't have the purple lotus. Now he hoped and prayed that the last nation(Nedal), a very small nation, far from Everton would give him a positive reply...."Jerald, did king Neil (king of Nedal kingdom) send a reply yet?" Carl asked, giving Jerald a hopeful look."Not yet, my king," Jerald answered, giving Carl a sad look. Not only Carl was affected by Zara's condition, but the whole of Everton. Also, the palace was not as lively as it used to be before."My king, what are we going to d
Married to the arrogant king 50: The messenger
A FARAWAY LAND "Your majesty, King Arthur lost the war to Carl." "What do you mean, he lost the war?" "Your majesty, it was like King Carl already knew, king Arthur would attack, and was very prepared. It didn't even take time for his troops to defeat Arthur's troops. The King Luther Scoffed. "I never should have underestimated Carl," he said. He had also thought Carl would be weak, due to the incident with Zara, but he was wrong. "I have to admit king Carl is a true king, because only a true king, stays ready even amidst his own problems." "Your majesty, what will you do now that Arthur has failed?" "It was my fault for overestimating him, I should have known that he was incapable, so now, I'll have to wait a little while, so Arthur can recuperate, from his defeat. Because I need him to be ready when the time comes to attack Everton. ... Meanwhile, it took Arthur half a day to get back to Neptune because he was no longer with a large troop, and he didn't stop to rest.

"My decision is that I will get married to princess Nadia of Nedal, but only after queen Zara's recovery," Carl announced, and everyone gasped.Like before some were pleased with his decision, while others were not.The messenger smiled, seeing that Carl has agreed to the proposal. "Your grace, you made the right decision, but you have to put your royal seal on this, as a guarantee that you won't go back on your word," he said, showing Carl a scroll, on which an agreement was written."Jerald, get my royal seal," Carl ordered, glaring at the messenger. Even a royal seal doesn't guarantee that he would marry their princess....The messenger left immediately after, Carl had stamped the agreement, and he also gave the purple lotus. He was filled with so much happiness that finally, they were going to be aligned with such a great nation like Everton...Meanwhile, the royal physician gave Zara and Myla the antidote.

"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

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.

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?'

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
