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.

Married to the arrogant king 52: Awake
What! Gwen shrieked. "How do I know you are not lying.""Why would we lie about something like that? If you don't believe us, then you can as well go ask king Carl yourself. for now, we wanted to let you know that he agreed to marry the princess..."Gwen looked at the trio and didn't know how to reply. To say she was stunned, was an understatement. She looked like she would pass out at any moment. She didn't want to believe it. "No it's not possible," she mumbled. "Of course, it is, lady Gwen. Remember one can do strange things for the one they love," Aiden muttered. Gwen gripped the cup in her hands tightly, gnashing her teeth. She was yet to finish with one rival, and there was going to be another."No, I can't let that happen, I won't let Carl get married to princess Nardin or Nadia, whatever they called her," Gwen pondered.It was like every time things were going well for her, something else happens to spoil it."Lady Gwen, you are not going to let Carl get married to princess

"My queen, Myla went to the temple to pray for your recovery," Lia lied.Zara gave them a small smile, then she said "I must have made you all worried, for how long was I asleep?"Seve...Aiden wanted to say, but Catherine immediately cut him off. "Just two days Zara. You were asleep for only two days.""But what kind of sickness would make me sleep for two days?""You were pois..." Eric muttered but was immediately cut off by Catherine again."It's a sickness that occurs when you're pregnant," she said, with a ridiculous laugh.Carl stood behind them, and couldn't help but feel guilty. Although he was not the one lying to Zara, he felt like he was.The physician decided to hastily examine Zara when the questions were getting too much, he also felt guilty for lying to his queen."Your majesty, the queen is a lot better but still needs to rest for a day, and if the fates allows, by tomorrow, she would be completely fine and can go about her daily routine," the physician said after ex
Married to the arrogant king 54: Celebration
ZARA'S POVI woke up feeling much better than I felt yesterday. My limbs were no longer numb, and I felt more alive.Twirling to the side, my gaze landed on Carl who was sleeping peacefully beside me. He must have been exhausted from taking care of me and other matters."Apparently Carl had returned to the room last night. He wanted to be the first Zara saw when she woke up."My gaze snaps from his long eyelash to his chiseled jaw, and then his pink lips. He looked like an angel. I must have done something good in my past life to have a husband like him. I remembered when father had first asked me to marry him, and I was pissed off, who would have thought things would turn out this way?Smiling, I lifted my hand to touch his face to remove a strand of hair, and he stirred, taking my hand in his.Again, I used my other hands to trail his sharp jaw, and this time, his eyes snaps open, casting me a gaze. "Zara," he called, jerking up instantly."Sorry I woke you up," I apologized."
Married to the arrogant king 55: Truth
ZARA'S POVMy heart thundered hard and fast against my chest after Gwen told me all those things. I didn't want to believe it but seeing the way she sounded so sure and confident, I couldn't help but think she was telling the truth."I'll take my leave Zara, but before I leave, I will like to advise you not to be too hard on Carl, he's a man after all and you know men, one woman can never be enough for them, just like I was close to him before you came," Gwen said, before walking away.I stood motionless at that spot, not daring to move. Even though I wanted to, it was like my legs refuse to."They fooled you, Zara, they fooled you." Gwen's words played repeatedly in my head. How could I have been so foolish to not know that something was wrong?I chuckled, but not out of amusement, it was because that was the only thing I could do. I couldn't even cry. "You were poisoned Zara, and you lost you, baby. you were asleep for seven days. carl is getting married to someone else and he
Married to the arrogant king 56: Fire
CARL POVAfter Zara left, I stood there motionless. I could feel my heart clench in pain, as her words replayed in my head. I could still see a clear picture of the pain in her tear-filled eyes. The way she looked at me, hurt, heartbroken. I was also heartbroken not because of what she said, but because I unintentionally hurt her. I hurt the woman I love, I made her cry."Your majesty, are you okay?" someone asked, giving me a concerned look."I'm fine," I replied."You don't look fine your majesty, if you have a problem, you can share it with me. You know they say a problem shared, is a problem half solved."I tilt my gaze to meet the stranger in front of me. It was an old woman. Maybe she is right, I should talk about it, that way it will lessen my pain."Tell me, son, you may be the king, but I'm still much older than you are. It means, I have seen more of the world and have more experience. It may also be that the Lord brought me here for a purpose, so tell me," she urged,

"I didn't know you would cry for me, you arrogant king," Zara said, her weak gaze on me.I smiled, breathing a sigh of relief. "Zara thank God you're okay, do you know how worried I was," I muttered."Sorry, if I made you worry," she said, rising, to a sitting position. "What happened, I only fainted so why do you look so worried?" I stared at her confused. "Zara, did you faint before or after the fire?" I inquired."What fire?" She asked, giving me a confused look. I didn't want anything that would bother her. I feel there was more to what happened, maybe someone set the fire on purpose.I will have to tighten the security in other to avoid something like this from happening again in the future. Instead of answering Zara's question, I decided to change the topic."Zara, are you still mad at me?"She sighs, before saying, "Being mad at you won't change anything. it won't change the fact that I was poisoned, or bring back my baby, so no, I'm not angry anymore."My heart leaped in joy

"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.

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?"

"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.

“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

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
