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
Married to the arrogant king 58: Lovemaking
Carl was not surprised when Nadia said that. he could already see through their facade. He cast a glance at Nadia, and a scowl appears on his face. He already hated her, and thought "Even if I wasn't married to Zara, I will never marry you."Nadia on the other hand blushed when she saw Carl's gaze on her. "Finally, he looked at me," she thought.While King Neil sighed. he has always known, his daughter was foolish, but he didn't know she was this foolish. "How can she just say that to Carl, now he would know how desperate we are."He let out a burst of awkward laughter, "Well King Carl, that will happen sooner or later, you know, but I'll much rather it happens sooner because, at the moment, Nedal is without a monarch and is unprotected," he muttered.Carl rolled his eyes, then he said "King Neil, I'll like us to discuss this some other time, for now, I and my queen will retire to our chamber, because at the moment, she is yet to recover fully, and besides, you just arrived after a l
Married to the arrogant king 59: Fight
Carl and Zara followed Jerald to the hall, where the banquet was been held, and their mouths snapped open immediately, as they saw the scene before them. They were completely stunned, watching how Gwen and Nadia, were both entangled in a fight, pulling on each other's hair, and screaming like mad women. Even the men who tried to pull them apart in an attempt to stop the fight, couldn't."What is going on here?" Carl roared, walking fully into the hall, and everywhere became mum.Gwen and Nadia immediately pull away, both looking embarrassed."She started it," they both yelled, pointing at each other.Silence," Carl growled casting them an irritated and angry look, and they both trembled in fear.Zara stood beside Jerald, as the both of them tried hard not to laugh at the scene before them. Both Gwen and Nadia looked like crazy witches, with their hair and make-up dispersed. King Neil marched forward, looking somewhat angry."King Carl, I can't believe that one of your subjects woul

The trio marched to where King Neil and princess Nadia, were staying at the royal guest quarters. They immediately caught the attention of everyone who saw them, because they were all so cute and chubby. Although they did not look alike, they still come across as triplets."Tell Princess Nadia, that prince Aiden of Everton, requests her audience," Aiden told the guard standing in front of the royal guest quarters.The guards glanced at each other, then the trio. Seeing that Aiden looked intimidating, they couldn't refuse. Although Eric and Ryn, did not have the intimidating aura, their eyes still held a lot of mischievous more than Aiden.One of the guards immediately went to inform Nadia of their presence, before returning to them."This way please," he muttered, leading the trio to Nadia's chambers...When Nadia saw them, she raised her brow in question and her mind wandered to why they could be there."Greetings Princess Nadia," they chorused. "What brings the three of you here?
Married to the arrogant king 61: I like her
"Your majesty, she's unknown. what I mean is, she had her back to me, and I couldn't see her face. Carl stood up from his seat, slamming the table in anger, making Jerald and Lilith, flinch, backing away slightly. "Lilith can you describe exactly what you saw, I mean, do you think, it's a young or an old lady, how did her voice sound?" Jerald inquired, seeing that Carl was riled up. Lilith nodded, then she said, "From the way the way she spoke, and the way she dressed, I presume she's a young lady from a noble family." "Young lady from a noble family?" Carl and Jerald repeated at the same time, glancing at each other. They both thought of which lady from a noble family, would have a grudge against Zara. Jerald's mind immediately went to Gwen, she is the only one he knew of that has a grudge against Zara, considering the past events. He glanced at Carl who was deep in thought. "My king, do you know of any noble lady that has a grudge against queen Zara?" Carl sighed, before repl

ZARA'S POVMy heart was beating fast against my chest, as I stared at him in disbelief. "It's not true Zara, it's not true," I kept repeating in my head. But when I opened my mouth to say those same words to him, it was like the words were stuck in my throat, and wouldn't out."Zara," he called, trying to touch me, but I took a step back."Yes yes, it was real. I kissed her because, I wanted to, because I like her, Zara, I like her." His words kept replaying in my head. but my heart was too stubborn, not ready to believe it.I sighed, glancing up to meet his gaze. "I don't believe you, Carl, please just tell me the truth. Is something wrong, did something happen?" I asked, all at once.He stared right back at me, before averting his gaze. "Zara, It's like I told you before, I like her, and I want to form an alliance, I don't see anything wrong with that," he retorted, with an unreadable expression.I scoffed, before saying, "I still don't believe you, how can you just like

"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.

"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?' 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
