Married to the arrogant king 67: Sneaking out
ZARA'S POVLia and I made our way to the throne room, to meet Carl. I couldn't waste any more time in Everton, knowing that my father was close to dying.When I got to the throne room, I saw lord Francis and Carl pacing around with worried expressions on their faces. 'What could be going on?" I thought, taking quick strides towards Carl."Carl," I called, and he twirled, bringing his gaze to meet mine."Zara," he dubbed, closing the little gap between us. Although I was a little angry with him, I still can't leave Everton, without letting him know, and I couldn't just ignore the worried look on his face."Greetings queen Zara," lord Francis muttered, bowing his head slightly in respect.I glanced at him, and nodded my head, before taking my gaze back to Carl, who gave me a small smile, while I rolled my eyes."What's wrong, why do you look so worried?" I asked.Carl's face lit up instantly and his worried expression was replaced with a smile."I thought you were angry and did
Married to the arrogant king 68: Zara left the palace
When Zara left, Aiden, Eric, and Ryn turned to themselves. "Eric, I think there's more to what aunt Zara told us," Aiden muttered, then twirled in the direction of the secret passage. Eric pouted his mouth, then he said. "So are you saying aunt Zara lied to us?""I don't know Eric, but she looked suspicious, like she was hiding something," Aiden added.Ryn sighed. "Then I think we should go inform King Carl about it.""No Ryn, if aunt Zara didn't tell Carl, she must have a good reason. I think we should wait until Carl asks, if he doesn't, then maybe he really did fight with aunt Zara, because of Nadia," Aiden reasoned, and both Eric and Ryn nodded.Meanwhile, Nadia and Draco were in her chambers, as Draco paced around impatiently. "Queen Nadia, I don't think your plan worked, why has queen Zara not left the palace yet, even though I stated in the letter that her father is on the brink of dying," Draco rasped.Nadia scoffed. "Draco, you have to calm down. I'm sure there's is a reason
Married to the arrogant king 69: Azrael
Everyone in the palace heard that Zara left the palace, and they all jumped to the conclusion that she left because Carl married Nadia and she couldn't bear it. Almost everyone blamed Nadia and king Neil for the loss of their queen."It's all the Nedal king and princess's fault, if they didn't false marriage and alignment on king Carl, things would've been fine. We would still have our queen, and king Carl would still have his love."Meanwhile, Carl and his soldier search every nook and cranny of Everton but didn't find Zara, so they had to return to the palace....On the other hand, Nadia and Draco reprimand Ariel for her incompetence."Why didn't you inform us that Zara left the palace?" Nadia barked at Ariel."Your Grace, I didn't know, not even king Carl knew, which means she secretly left the palace," Ariel retorted."Just keep quiet, you low-life servant, don't try to justify yourself with such excuse. you were given strict orders to watch Zara's every move, but you failed and

ZARA'S POVAs we rode past Azrael's border, I started to feel uneasy, like something was not right, like something bad was about to happen. "Lia, do you sense something? I mean do you feel uneasy?" I asked her.Lia chuckled, then she said, "Why would I feel uneasy Zara? The only feeling I have right now is that of happiness. I feel happy that we are returning to Everton, even if we're going to face Carl and the council."I nodded my head, not saying anything after that. Maybe my uneasy feeling, was because after I get to Everton, I'll surely answer a lot of questions, not just from Carl, but the council as well. Now that I think about it, I never should have left Everton without telling Carl."Zara," Lia called, and I turn to her. "You should relax, I'm sure Carl will understand once you explain things to him," she muttered. I sighed, praying that he does. I was still lost in thoughts, when I heard, "Queen Zara, watch out!" And before I could process what was happening,

CARL'S POVI paced around the balcony, my fist and jaw clenched in anger. "Why is it taking so long for Azrael to reply to my letter?" The feeling of not knowing where Zara is, or if she's in good health, is frustrating.When Jerald walked in, I was expecting to hear good news. instead, he just stood there staring at me. "What!" I rasped, giving him a questioning look. "My king, the search parties have returned, and there's still no news of queen Zara. Even lady Gwen's case which you asked me to investigate, was futile. your majesty, Gwen's case is a mystery, that would be hard to solve, as no one saw her leaving the palace," Jerald narrated."How is it even possible that no one saw her leaving the palace? the guards ought to have seen her. I want you to question every one of them on duty, the day Gwen went missing, even Gwen's servant.""Yes, my king... It may also be possible that lady Gwen left through a secret passage like queen Zara," He reasoned.I sighed, closing my
Married to the arrogant king 72: I'll marry you
“Lia, I won't marry Draco. But I'll have to agree to his wedding proposal, just to keep the three of you safe,” Zara answered. “But Zara, isn't that too risky? After you agree to his marriage proposal, what happens next?” Lia asked.“Then we think of a way to escape. I'm thinking of making a deal with him, in exchange for marrying him. And if it doesn't work, we'll try something else like, getting them drunk. Although I don't know if it will work, we have to at least try,” Zara muttered.Lia nodded, then she said, “You're right Zara, that's the only option we have now.”...Meanwhile, Jerald took two men with him, as they rode fast to Azrael. They barely stopped to rest, only when it was really necessary, like when they had to feed themselves, and their horses. Or when they had to ease themselves. IN AZRAELJerald and his men arrived in Azrael at dawn, and they were ushered in by two guards, who lead them to the throne room. “Wait here, while I summon the King and Queen,” one of

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

“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.

"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.

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.

"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.

"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....
