Married to the arrogant king

ZARA’S POV

Like what you see? I crouched, whispering in Carl’s ears. He scoffed, rolling his eye.

“Don’t flatter yourself, I’ve seen better,” he retorted.

I glanced over at the man standing next to Carl. He had an evil glint in his eye but smiled immediately I looked at him.

He was also handsome and well-built, but not as handsome as Carl.

“I’m Zara, princess of Azrael, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” I greeted with a slight bow.

“King Arthur of Neptune, the pleasure is mine,” he replied. Taking my right hand, he placed a kiss on it.

Carl, immediately took my hand, wiping off, where Arthur had just kissed, and I chuckled.

“I don’t like it when someone else touches what is mine,” Carl muttered, glaring at Arthur.

Arthur sneered, looking at Carl with a scorn. Soon she will no longer be yours, he thought, before giving Carl a fake smile. He glanced at princess Zara, his gaze filled with admiration.

Carl notice the spark in Arthur’s eyes, and pulled Zara closer to him, making her sit on his lap.

Carl suddenly yanked me, making me sit on his lap. I jerked, trying to get away, but his stronghold around my waist made it impossible.

I took a quick glance at the crowd, and there was a sudden uproar from them, as they cheered, finding both Carl and I amusing.

I flushed in embarrassment, hiding my face in the arrogant King’s chest, and heard him cackle.

…

Arthur’s was burning with rage, as he watched how Carl pulled Zara to him. He couldn’t stand it anymore and angrily walked away.

The guest saw how Zara was sitting on Carl’s lap and found them amusing. They didn’t know the princess and Carl were that close.

“King Carl and Princess Zara, look so perfect together. He made the right decision by choosing her. she will make a fine queen. I heard she is very intelligent, and knows martial art. she also made king Carl and his council approve of women learning martial arts.

They complimented Zara non-stop. Gwen who was among the guest, couldn’t help but get jealous. She was burning with rage. the hatred she felt for Zara, doubled instantly.

Gwen never believed that Carl would let Zara get so close to him. He even went as far as making her sit on his lap in front of everyone.

“If this continues, I’m going to lose Carl. Carl is mine, and I will never let this witch take my place. I should be the one sitting on his lap, not her. I need to get rid of the witch as soon as possible,” Gwen thought.

Gwen angrily walked out of the banquet. She couldn’t stand seeing Carl with Zara.

…

After the banquet, I sat on the balcony with Lia, who was unable to stop grinning.

“Princess, I have to admit that you look so good with the king,” Lia squealed.

She kept on teasing me non-stop, and as if that were not enough, aunt Anna came too.

“Zara, Aunt squealed. Oh my God Zara, I never knew you had it in you, I really underestimate you. you acted as if you didn’t want the king, yet you listened to my advice and started seducing him, I’m so proud of you.”

“Aunt, it’s not what you think, Carl was…

“Oh Zara, you don’t have to explain. I saw it all. how you whispered in his ears, how you sat on his lap and even buried your face in his chest.”

“But Aunt…

“No buts Zara, just keep it up. who knows maybe next time would be more intimate, and by intimate, I mean kissing, blowjobs, and…

” Aunt, I yelled, cutting her off.”

“I need to go now, my wedding is tomorrow, and I need a lot of rest,” I muttered, walking away.

Gosh, how can she say all those things so loud? Lia trailed after me, laughing hard, and I rolled my eyes.

“You can run away now, but you can’t run away from your wedding night,” Aunt Anna yelled after me, and I increased my pace.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Princess, your aunt is right, what will you do on your wedding night?”

“Lia, whose side are you on? Just keep quiet, and stop sounding like aunt,” I retorted, feigning annoyance.

“I want you to abduct the Princess tonight, make no mistakes and do it discreetly,” Arthur gave orders to his men.

“I will distract king Carl in the meantime. So, no one will be able to stop you. If anyone tries, kill them.”

Arthur’s men left immediately, after receiving his orders, wearing a disguise and black masks over their heads.

CARL’S POV

I sat in my chamber after the banquet, while thinking of that annoying princess. I didn’t know why I suddenly became possessive over her.

Could it be that I didn’t want Arthur looking at her with his evil eye? King Arthur was my enemy and I have a feeling, he has an ulterior motive. The way he looked at the princess, made me feel like pulling out his eyes.

I remembered how I let Zara sit on my lap in front of everyone, what was I thinking? It’s not like, I liked her.

I mean, she was annoying and gets on my nerves all the time. She even find ways to humiliate me, so why was I possessive?

She must have bewitched me because that was the only logical explanation for my behavior.

Someone knocked on my door, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“My king, it’s Jerald, may I come in?”

“Come in,”

Jerald walked in, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

“My king, I have to say you really surprised me. The way you and the princess…

“Did you come here to talk about that, or you came here for something reasonable?” I questioned, cutting him off.

He’s so grumpy, Jerald thought. He may be Carl’s friend, but Carl never gave him special treatment. But he was happy, the king and princess Zara were getting closer.

“Sorry, your majesty, King Arthur wants to meet you. Jerald

Why does he want to see me? I thought. it was not like we were both on good terms. The last thing I want is to see my enemy.

“My king, you could reject his request, if you don’t want to see him,” Jerald suggested.

I thought for a while, before agreeing to the request. I knew Arthur must be up to something but still decided to meet him.

“There’s no need for that, I will meet him. I want you to ask our most elite warriors to keep an eye on the princess, I have a feeling Arthur will do something,” I ordered, before leaving.

Arthur was restless while he waited for Carl. Is the bastard not coming, did he not get my message? Carl kept him waiting for a long time before finally showing up.

He smiled inwardly after seeing Carl. He was able to draw Carl away, it was now left to his men to carry out the rest of the plan.

“You must have missed me, that’s why you sent for me,” Carl muttered, with a smirk.

“You guessed right Carl. I thought, why don’t I see the face of my enemy, so I can know how to kill him.”

“You’re so dumb Arthur. Seeing my face, would not give you a plan. Instead, you should use your time for more important things, than wasting both our time. If I didn’t know your history with women, I would think that, maybe you were into men,” Carl teased.

Carl could see the rage in Arthur’s eyes after he called him dumb and smiled inwardly.

“Why don’t we have a drink, while we chat,” Arthur muttered.

“Why would I do that? I don’t drink with the enemy. who knows, you might poison me,” Carl retorted.

Arthur scoffed. “Are you scared Carl?”

“I can never be scared of you Arthur. I just thought, why give you the honor of drinking with me, seeing that you’re not in my league.”

Arthur clenched his fist, his anger swelling. he hated Carl to the core, and if not for his plan, he would never be sitting with him.

He knew by now Carl might have suspected he was up to something, but he didn’t care, as long as he achieved his goal.

Jerald ran to king Carl, knowing full well that Carl would not like the news he was about to give him, but he didn’t have a choice.

“My king, princess Zara, has gone missing.
