I froze immediately I heard the guards say slit my throat. How do I escape this, should I fight them? But if I do that will only alert more guards and the prince."Inform prince Kieran, that there is an intruder in the palace," one of the guards yelled.A guard immediately left to call prince Kieran...."Prince Kieran, we have an intruder in the palace," a guard announced.Kieran glanced at Carl, " who could the intruder be?""I think I know who," Carl replied.They both followed the guard to where the intruder was standing.Both Carl and Kieran watched how the intruder was surrounded by a group of guards.The intruder's head was down and he looked so small and frightened, standing amidst the guard."What's going on here" Kieran yelled...."What's going on here," prince Kieran yelled, and I shivered slightly.I felt a bead of sweat forming on my forehead, feeling slightly afraid to look at him. If it were under normal circumstances, I would have beaten the hell out of him, as I did
ZARA'S POV "Carl, can you tell me what's going on. why do you look so calm? why does it look like you knew I was here already?" Tell me what's going on. Carl stared at me for a while, as if not knowing what to say. "Your abduction was planned by me, it was me who asked Kieran to abduct you." What! did he just say he was the one who ordered my abduction? I stared at him, gobsmacked. Why would he even do that, what was his reason? "Explain why you abducted me, why would you even do a thing like that?" I was eager to hear an explanation, but Carl, on the other hand, stayed quiet staring at me. ... Prince Kieran glanced at Carl and could tell he was nervous. If someone told him that a woman would make Carl nervous, he would never have believed it. Princess Zara, just who was this woman? Carl has finally met his match, Kieran thought. He immediately dismissed his guards, even though they were reluctant, and wanted to watch the whole thing, they still had to obey their prince's or
Both people from Everton and other nations came to witness Carl's wedding. They were all gobsmacked when Carl announced his wedding. It even led to different questions... "Did king Carl find princess Zara, why didn't he announce it? If he didn't find princess Zara, who then, is he getting married to... could it be someone else? A smirk played at the corner of Carl's lip as he stood majestically in his wedding attire. He couldn't wait to see the reaction of everyone, when they find out, that Zara didn't get abducted. Particularly King Arthur. Carl was anxious to see the look on his face when he gets to know, that he was played. The whole crowd was in a state of distress and their anxiety grew even more as Zara still didn't show up and they've been waiting for quite a while. "Did King Carl bring us here to ridicule us?" the other Kings murmured amongst themselves. A few minutes later, Zara showed up in her beautiful dress. She looked out of this world. She looked like a beauty go
ZARA'S POV After the wedding, a banquet was held to celebrate my wedding to Carl, and also the alliance between Everton, and Azrael. "Princess," Lia yelled, running toward me. She threw herself on me, hugging me tight, that I almost couldn't breathe. "Lia I can't breathe," I choked out. "Sorry, princess. I was just so excited to see you. do you know how worried I was? we all thought you were abducted for real. Oh, Princess, I'm so happy," Lia let out, with tears in her eyes. "I'm here now Lia," I said, explaining everything that had happened. My parents and queen Catherine also came to hug me. They were so happy that I was back in Everton. While aunt Anna, on the other hand, was a different case. "Zara, so tell me what happened between you and Carl. Did you leave because you wanted to be alone and seduce the king?" Aunt Anna blabbered. "Aunt it's not what you think, Carl was not even with me, remember. He was in Everton, while I was in Nival," I reasoned. "But he still went
Gwen walked out of her chamber, going to look for Carl. "I need to find him soon, or my efforts will be wasted," she thought.She walked into his office, and he was not there. she also went to the throne room, but could not find him. Where could he be? She thought."Guards, have you seen the king?" "No Milady."After looking around for minutes, she still couldn't find him."Did he go back to his chamber?" Gwen panicked. She thought of the possibility of Carl and Zara being together. "What if my plan fails?""Milady, you have to come quickly, Draco has carried out your order and is now in the bath with queen Zara," Morgana revealed.Gwen squealed, her plan was going smoothly. But she still hasn't found Carl."what do I do?" She worried. She suddenly caught glimpse of Queen Catherine, walking alongside queen Lyarra(Zara's mom) and Zara's aunt, Anna.Perfect! Even if I can't find Carl, Queen Catherine is fine."Queen Catherine, I need you to come with me," she blurted out, immediate
Gwen knelt before queen Catherine, whose gaze burnt holes through her."How did you know Zara was in the bathing chamber? Why did you go there, and what was your motive? Speak Gwen," Catherine screeched. Gwen was sweating profusely, as she picked on her nails. She rack her brain for a lie to tell Catherine, but she couldn't think of any."Tell me, Lady Gwen, why did you accuse the queen Zara of such a dispeakable thing. you sounded like you were sure the Zara would be in there with a man, unfortunately for you, that man was my son," Catherine has always seen through Gwen. She knew Gwen was an ambitious, selfish, and conniving woman. She knew that Gwen must have tried to do something, but fortunately, it failed. Gwen thought of something and said, "Qu...queen mother, It was a servant who told me that she saw Zara with another man."Gwen was not willing to go down the drain. After all, if her servant Morgana, had not given her false information, she wouldn't be in this mess. "It's
"It was the devil," Morgana babbled. "The devil? Catherine asked in disbelief. "Yes, queen mother. I was passing near the king and queen's bathing chamber and was so curious to see what it looked like since I've never been in there, that was when I saw queen Zara and a man. His back was turned to me, so I didn't know he was the king. I don't know what made me assume it was another man, and I ran and told lady Gwen about it. I'm really sorry queen mother." Catherine was speechless. Although she didn't believe a word Morgana said, she just kept mum. Gwen on the other hand was so happy. "I'm glad this lowlife servant didn't expose me. It's a good thing she didn't think queen Catherine could protect her or she would just be fooling herself and digging her own grave." Morgana saw the smile on Gwen's face and almost scoffed. All high-class people are the same. Gwen had put all the blame on her because she was a servant and would never be able to defend herself. Although she had wanted
"We think the one behind it is king Arthur of Neptune.""Why would he want to attack us?" King Alan asked."Your majesty, I think it's because we allied with Everton.""Yes, that could be true, because as far as we know, we haven't provoked king Arthur in any way, our alliance with Everton could only be the reason.""Your majesty, I think we should ask King Carl for help. You know Neptune is far stronger and has a lot more soldiers than we do. there is no way we could face them if they decide to go to war."King Alan remained mute, thinking of what to do. He knew his council members were right, Azrael could not afford to go to war with Neptune. the outcome would be very bad."Your majesty, say something," his council members urged."We can't ask king Carl for help," King Alan voiced out."But why your majesty?" Why can we not ask him for help, after all, that's the reason Azrael allied with Everton, so they can help us in times like this," one of the council members reasoned. He seeme
