Married to the arrogant king

Gwen walked into Carl’s chamber with one purpose in mind, seducing him. where could he be? she thought as she couldn’t find him.

“Carl,” she called.

“Lady Gwen, King Carl is out of the palace,” one of the guards reported.

“Where did he go?”

“I don’t know Lady Gwen, he didn’t say where he was going, but my guess is that he went to find princess Zara.”

Gwen clenched her fist, her rage swelling. How could he go out to find that princess, Is it that Carl has feelings for her? No that can’t be possible.

“I know where my brother is,” Prince Adrian cut in, with Eric, Zara’s little nephew.

They had been playing around close to Gwen’s chambers and overheard her conversation with her father.

Eric and Adrian had become best friends since Eric came to Everton.

“Who is that woman? Eric questioned.

“My brother’s mistress. Adrian may be five years old, but he knew everything that was going on between Carl and Gwen.

“I don’t like her. she wants my aunt Zara dead, so she could snatch the king away. She must be a very bad woman,” Eric muttered.

“I also don’t like her. She acts all good in front of my brother, but I know she’s a bad woman, who only wants power,” Adrian confessed.

“Adrian, I think we should teach that bad woman a lesson,” Eric mumbled, smiling mischievously.

“What do you suggest we do?” Adrian asked.

Eric told Adrian his plan, and the two followed Gwen secretly.

“What do you know about the king’s whereabouts? tell me.”

“Lady Gwen, you don’t expect us to just give you information, without you giving us something in return.”

Gwen scoffed, getting impatient. “And how do I know you are telling me the truth about knowing the king’s whereabouts?”

“You don’t have to believe us. We overheard him talking to Jerald about going somewhere. We can tell you, but if you don’t want the information, just forget it,” Adrian muttered.

“Let’s go, Eric.” Both Adrian and Eric turned around to leave, sad that their plan didn’t work.

“Stop,” Gwen yelled.

The two immediately stopped on their track.

“It seems like the cat took the bait,” Eric whispered, and they both grinned.

“I will give you what you want just tell me,” Gwen said.

“We want two pieces of gold each.”

Gwen glared at the two and immediately gave the two of them the gold, desperate about getting information. She needed to know where Carl was, so she could go to him.

“My brother is on his way to Nival.”

“Nival, what is he going to do in Nival?”

“I don’t know lady Gwen, I only know he’s going to Nival.”

What could he be going to do in Nival? Gwen thought.

“Lady Gwen, you don’t have to go all the way to Nival to meet him. I know you like my brother, and if you want to win his heart, I could teach you how.”

Gwen glanced at Adrian, shocked that he knew about her feelings for the king. But what could a little boy like him possibly teach her about winning Carl’s heart, after all, she grew up with Carl and she knew everything about him.

“Lady Gwen, I know you think you know everything about my brother, but are you sure you do? Adrian asked.

Gwen who was confident that she knew everything about Carl, began to doubt herself. Lately, Carl has been acting strange. he stopped giving her attention ever since Zara showed up. Instead, he was getting closer to Zara.

“So what more can you teach me about Carl?” Gwen probed.

“I can’t teach you everything in one day, it will take days.”

Gwen thought for a while, if she should accept the offer, what does this child know that she doesn’t, after all, she was older and he was just five.

“Can he really help her? She glanced at prince Adrian and then prince Eric.

“I accept. Teach me everything, I need to know, about getting Carl.”

Gwen didn’t mind how long it took or if he was just a child, as long as she could get close to Carl, and become the next queen. And through this, she could also get closer to Adrian.

Immediately Gwen left, Adrian and Eric, squealed.

“Eric, our plan is working, we are one step closer to making that bad woman’s life miserable.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, and by the time we are through with her, she will no longer be able to marry the king,” Eric replied.

Aunt Zara, I will surely remove that bad woman from your path, Eric thought with a smirk.

CARL’S POV

After my conversation with Jerald, I decided to go to Nival. It’s time I clear things up and also a chance to meet the annoying princess, and explain things to her.

I ordered Jerald to stay back and keep me informed on what was going on in Everton, while I took a few guards with me.

It took one and half hours, to get to Nival. I was a little nervous, thinking about how I was going to face the annoying princess.

I walked into the throne room to see prince Kieran waiting for me. Kieran was my best friend and also my cousin.

“Carl you asshole,” Kieran yelled immediately he saw me.

He looked like he was beaten up by someone. he’s eyes were swollen, and his nose was broken.

“Carl, I thought we were friends, how could you do this to me.”

“Kieran, what happened?”

Kieran scoffed, rolling his eyes. “How can you pretend like you don’t know what happened,” he whined.

“Stop beating around the bush Kieran, I really don’t have time for your whining,” I blurted out.

“Look what your rogue princess did to me. I wanted explaining things to her, but she pounced on me. She’s such a vile woman, a brute.”

Kieran shrieked, remembering how Zara had beaten him up. The thought made him shiver.

“Carl, look what she did to my handsome face, now all the women, refuse to look at me. I even thought when princess Zara saw me, she would get lost, looking at my handsome face, instead, she destroyed it.”

I was trying so hard not to laugh, Zara did that to him. It seems like she had a thing for annoying people and causing trouble wherever she goes.

“She almost killed me, Carl.”

“Kieran, you should hide your face in shame. What sort of man gets beaten by a woman.”

“Carl, how could you say that. You should apologize to me because this is all your fault. if only you didn’t abduct the rogue princess, I would still have my pretty face.

“Stop whining Kieran, and take me to Zara.
