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
“My king, princess Zara, has gone missing,” Jerald announced. I looked at him like he had gone nuts. How can that annoying princess go missing? Did she run away?“What do you mean Jerald, how could the princess go missing? Jerald immediately fell to his knees.“My king, I'm sorry, I assigned our most elite warriors to guard the princess at all times, but they were killed. I think some of our guards betrayed us and let the enemy into the palace.”I asked you to protect her, how could you let this happen?” I roared.“You all are useless. just pray I find the princess, or else, I won't spare any of you,” I yelled, walking away. ...Jerald could tell that Carl was angry, and when he was angry, he was extremely dangerous. So he trailed after him slowly. he knew Carl was going to unleash hell on them for failing to protect the princess.King Arthur was gobsmacked after what he just heard. he had indeed sent men to abduct the princess, but they were not real assassins.Although he made pl
I'm Giselle your highness, and you're in Nival." Nival? did she say Nival. "What are did you say?" I asked to be sure."I said, you are in Nival, your highness. and this is for you," she replied, putting the food on a table.To say I was confused, was an understatement. How can I be in Nival? Nival was a nation not far from Everton, and they shared a good relationship. How could they have abducted me? They had no reason to...Could it be that they went against Everton? What could have happened between these two nations?"Giselle, can I see the king?""I'm sorry your highness, you'll have to wait for a day to see him because King Alfred is currently in Everton." He is in Everton. What the hell is going on here. The more I thought of it, the more confused I get."I will take my leave, for now, Enjoy your meal, your highness."After Giselle left, I glanced at the food on the table, my stomach grumbling at the sight.I sat down and began munching on the food. If I wanted to escape, I n
In Everton, things didn't cool down, rather it got worse. "Your majesty, I fail to understand how the princess could get abducted in a palace that is heavily guarded and defended by well-trained and dangerous guards." "Yes your majesty, I find it strange, that they could easily infiltrate the palace. Although they had the support of those traitors, who betrayed Everton, it can't be that easy." "How is it possible that they escaped Everton? Someone of high status must have helped them, not just the guards. There must be a traitor among us. "Yes I agree, who do you think is capable of breaking into the palace." We have the best defense in all the seven nations, and from this incident, everyone is beginning to doubt that. "You must do something, King Carl, we must get the princess at all cost, or else Everton will become the laughing stock of all the other nations. Carl sat down, silently watching his council as they kept blabbing. "My king, you should say something, not just your
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.
ZARA'S POV I paced around the room, thinking about what Giselle told me. I was getting married, but to whom. It can't be Carl, after all, I was abducted. who could it be? Is it prince Kieran? Uhhhh! I ruffled my hair in frustration. Maybe I should have just let prince Kieran explain himself instead of beating him up. What do I do now, how do I escape if he intends to marry me? Think Zara, think. There was no way I could fight my way out of this because I would be outnumbered. Carl, you idiot, annoying fool. What is taking you so long to come rescue me? If you don't come now I won't spare you. Why should I even wait for him to come save me, I should save myself. I ran toward the door, twisting the doorknob, and thankfully it was open. Two guards were standing outside the chamber, and immediately turn to look at me. "Your highness," they greeted with a bow. "Take me to see prince Kieran," I ordered. "Your highness, prince Kieran does not want to see you. I knew he was still
