ZARA'S POVHe aimed the arrow at me, it was so sudden, that I didn't have time to react. "What are you doing?" I asked, shivering in fear. His eyes were dark and I knew he wouldn't hesitate to shoot the arrow at me."Princ... Lia yelled but was immediately cut off by Jamie. He use his hand to cover her mouth stopping her from exposing my identity.Theon and Jamie stood helplessly, watching. They couldn't come close because it might just make the man angrier and he would decide to shoot me.Why did I even leave the palace in the first place? I could have just stayed there and faced the arrogant king, Instead, I choose to leave, and now I'm in trouble.Mustering up the courage, I decided to ask him what he wanted."what do you want?" I asked boldly, but deep down I was scared. I won't give him the satisfaction of seeing me scared."You seem bold for someone, who has an arrow pointed at him, you ask me what I want, you should have just backed down earlier and chose to lose like
ZARA'S POV"What the hell is going on here?" Carl growled. The guards holding Gwen immediately let her go, trembling in fear."Carl, I was just trying to be nice to the princess, by asking how she was, but instead, she treated me badly, and even called the guards to drag me away," Gwen said, running to Carl's side.He held Gwen's hand, staring angrily at me. I didn't bother explaining myself, because he probably wouldn't believe me."Gwen is my friend and is very special to me, you treating her badly is the same thing as treating me badly. You seem to always get on my nerves princess Zara, and I don't like it," Carl blurted out angrily.He was so stupid, he didn't even bother to know if she was telling the truth, he just assumed that I was the one at fault.I didn't say anything, I just stared at the both of them with a bored expression, suddenly remembering that I saw the both of them naked on the bed, the day I got drunk. yuck, so gross and shameless. He was getting marrie
ZARA'S POV "I princess Zara of Azrael and future queen of Everton, think the law is stupid," I blurted out, and everyone gasped. They all stared at me in horror, like I had said the most forbidding thing ever. "Your majesty, I'm lady Gwen, the lady in charge of women's affairs may I speak?" Gwen asked. "You may speak lady Gwen," the king ordered. "I think princess Zara holds little regard for the law. She was not brought up well by her parents, she should be punished severely for her reckless art," Gwen spoke, with a smirk. I was not going to let what she said slide. "Lady Gwen, what gives you the right to talk about my upbringing. You have no right to talk about my parents with that disgusting mouth of yours. If we should talk about upbringing, why don't we talk about yours?" I muttered, giving her a smirk. Her face turned pale in horror, as she understood what I meant. I could tell the council about her affair with the king. Yes, the king is allowed to have affairs with othe
ZARA'S POV"Princess Zara, do you know what I want?" He asked, using his hands to trail my lips.I didn't give him an answer, I just stared at him, hoping that what he was going to ask for was not beyond what I could do.He stood there staring at me, and not saying a word, his silence was making me more curious. "What do you want?" I asked, getting impatient."Why are you in a hurry to know what I want, you shouldn't be so impatient," Carl muttered, with a smirk.I was clenching my fist hard, to stop myself from punching his face. He was enjoying that I was suffering by keeping me in suspense."I want you to be my personal maid, for a week," he mumbled, smiling mischievously. He looked like an angel when he smiled, that you wouldn't know he was the devil.He wants me to be his personal maid, is he crazy or what? I saw myself already smacking his head in my imagination."Why would I do that? you have thousand of maids in this Palace, why should I also become one."I was burnin
ZARA'S POV Carl pulled me roughly toward the chambers. He opened the door pushing me inside before slamming it, making me shiver. He started stalking me like I was his prey. I backed away, trying to get away from him, but he immediately pulled me back, slamming my body into his. He had a murderous look in his eyes as he stared down at me. This time, I think I've really pissed off the devil. I was looking so small in front of him, that I was sure he could just murder me in one go. I gulped down nothing, thinking about this. "Wow princess, I have to say I underestimate you. who would have known you were so cunning," Carl muttered. I swallowed my fears, smiling at him. "Well, let's just say, this is my payback for what you did to my friends and me. How was my acting? You must be impressed," I muttered. He didn't say anything, he just kept staring at me. "How about I pay you back too, after all, you are not the only one who knows how to play tricks," Carl muttered, with a smirk.
In Everton, the wedding preparation of King Carl and Princess Zara was going on. Invitations were sent to every king in the seven nations. ANOTHER NATION (somewhere in Neptune) King Arthur sat on his throne and attended to matters concerning his nation. King Arthur and Carl were mortal enemies.Carl's parents were killed by Arthur's parents, in a battle long ago between Everton and Neptune, and Arthur's parents were later killed by Carl after he succeeded the throne."Your majesty, King Carl's wedding to princess Zara of Azrael will take place soon, he even sent you an invitation."He looked at the invitation in his hand, Carl you dare to invite me to your wedding. He felt his blood boiling, no matter how hard he tried, Carl was always ahead of him. But this time, he won't let him win. He wants to get married to the princess of Azrael, I will never let that happen, I won't let him form an alliance with Azrael, Arthur thought."Your majesty, are you going to accept his invitation?"
ZARA'S POVAnd 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 gra
ZARA'S POVLike 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 s
