Married to the arrogant king

ZARA’S POV

And how do you intend on doing that?” someone said from behind, startling me.

I immediately turn in the direction, to see Carl with a smirk on his face. I was sure my cheek was red from embarrassment.

Oh God, I wish the ground would just open, so I could enter. This is all aunt’s fault, if only she didn’t keep pestering me.

I glanced up to see Carl still smirking, I’m sure he was enjoying this situation.

“I… It’s n.. not what you think,” I stuttered.

“I’ll leave you two now,” aunt muttered, with a big smile, before walking away.

Great, she just left me after putting me in this situation.

“But I heard everything, you just said. you will seduce the king, and I am the king. I get it you can’t resist my charms.”

Gosh, he’s so full of himself. If not for the fact I was so embarrassed right now.

“Well, I’m sure you are not the only king. There are many others, I could have been talking about one of them,” I blurted out in my defense.

His gaze immediately darken, he grabbed my hands, pulling me closer. He held my chin glaring at me.

“You won’t dare Princess,” he growled.

“Are you jealous?” I teased, and he scoffed.

“Jealous, I’m not jealous princess, I just don’t like to share my things,” he replied, before walking away.

I felt like punching his arrogant face. he dare called me a thing.

The wedding preparation took at least a week. All the kings from the seven kingdoms were present, even king Arthur and king Darian, Carl’s enemy.

They all came to witness the wedding of King Carl.

Although King Arthur and Darian were there for their own motives.

King Arthur sat in his chambers in Everton with king Darian.

“What do you plan on doing, king Arthur?” Darian inquired. Although Arthur and Darian were both kings, Darian respected and feared him a lot.

After all, Arthur’s nation, Neptune was far more bigger and powerful than his nation crystal-vile. And he also hated Carl, so it was only right that he joined forces with Arthur.

“I plan to sabotage, King Carl’s wedding. We can’t let him ally with Azrael. His nation is already powerful and Undefeatable as it is. We must stop his wedding at all cost.”

“But how do you intend to do that King Arthur. I’m sure Carl will be alert at all times. Seeing that he invited us, do you think he would let his guard down.

“I know he would be alert at all times, that is why I planned this carefully. I will make sure nothing goes wrong.”

“If you’re so confident King Arthur, I’ll trust you.”

After their discussion, king Arthur sat in his chambers. He couldn’t wait for his plan to succeed. He planned not only to stop Carl’s wedding, but also to marry the princess, and take over Azrael.

“Soon I’ll be the most powerful king,” Arthur thought, laughing like a maniac.

Someone knocked on his door, causing him to frown.

Arnold, his right-hand man walked into the chambers, bowing his head.

“King Carl has invited you to a banquet,” Arnold announced.

The frown on Arthur’s face increased. The last thing he wanted was to sit in the same place with his enemy.

As if reading his mind, Arnold added

“All the other kings would be present too and also the princess of Azrael.”

On hearing that Arthur’s mood lightens up, at least he would get a chance to see the princess.

Minutes later, Arthur walked into the banquet, he looked around, to see if he would see the princess, but there was no sign of her.

There were other guests there too like Kings and their queens, the princesses and princes, and people of noble status.

King Carl, sat on his throne looking all arrogant. He had a bored look on his face, as he sighed continuously.

He seemed less interested in the banquet. It was all his mother’s idea to welcome the guest.

Carl didn’t care what the guest thought, after all he didn’t force them to come.

King Arthur saw Carl on his throne, and his anger increased. He could feel his blood boiling as he watched his enemy.

Arthur walked toward Carl in a bold stride.

King Carl, Arthur called in a mock tone immediately he stood in front of Carl.

“It’s such a pleasure to see you,” Arthur muttered with a fake smile.

“Well, I wouldn’t say the same about you” Carl, retorted, with a smirk.

Arthur clenched his fist, to suppress his anger.

“You are still as arrogant as ever Carl”

“What can I say, Arthur, I can’t do without the arrogance, I love it.”

Arthur scoffed, glaring at Carl, and Carl on the other hand was wearing a smirk.

“I don’t see the princess anywhere,” Arthur muttered.

“Why are you so eager to see her, she’s going to be my bride, not yours.”

Arthur snorted, wanting to say something but was stopped by the Herald’s announcement.

“Princess Zara of Azrael” the Herald announced.

Zara’ walked into the banquet, looking as beautiful as a goddess, in her off-shoulder, white floral gown, and golden crown.

She looked like an angel. Everyone who saw her were stunned. The guest began whispering to themselves about how beautiful she was.

Zara walked so elegantly with grace and a smile on her face.

King Arthur was also stunned. How can she be so beautiful? She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

The way her face was small and her long hair were so dark, and her small pouted lips. She looked like a little girl. Although he knew she was twenty-one because of the rumors he heard about her.

Arthurs, heart melted immediately at the sight of her. Now more than ever the urge to steal her from Carl was stronger. He was going to do anything to make the princess his.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Zara walked toward Carl, who was also stunned, giving king Arthur a slight bow in respect before turning to Carl.

“Like what you see?” Zara crouched, whispering in Carl’s ears.
