IN AZRAEL"Your majesty, this is now beyond our power. More citizens are getting killed each day, and even the troops sent to subdue the attack on the border were all slaughtered. what do we do now?"King Alan sighs, looking distressed. He was worried that if he didn't find a solution to the problem, more of his people would die. He felt bad that as a king, he couldn't protect his people in times of trouble.What could King Arthur want? they already allied with Everton, so even if he keeps attacking them, there was no going back."Your Majesty, this is the reason I suggested we ask king Carl for help. If you had listened to me back then, things would not have escalated to this point.""Yes he's right, things would have been resolved if we just asked Carl for help.""Can you just shut your mouth? If we have to ask Carl for every little thing what does that make us. Carl has a nation of his own, that also needs protecting, we can't just turn to him every time we're in trouble."Soo
Then she did something I didn't expect, she suddenly, jumped on me. Ahhh... Lia screamed, taking a step back. While the strange girl wrapped her arms, around my neck, and her legs around my waist, making us both fall to the ground, she still didn't let go. "Get off her," Lia yelled, trying to get her away from me. "Help me," the strange girl whispered before someone(Lia) pulled her away. "Help me, they want to kill me, please," she yelled, grasping my arm, her eyes filled with tears. "My queen, she's a stranger and could be dangerous, you can't trust her," Lia advised. I looked at the strange girl, who was giving me a helpless look, then at Lia. "Lia, I know she's a stranger, but she's helpless, and if I don't help her, there's no way I would be at peace, so let me talk to her," I reasoned. Lia sighed, nodding her head in agreement, and I gave her a light smile before turning back to the stranger. "What's your name?" I asked. "My name is Myla," she whispered. "Myla, you don
Carl and I looked at each other, then the physician. "Pregnant!" We both yelled."Yes, pregnant. The queen is pregnant," he repeated, smiling widely.What! How can I be pregnant, we only had sex once? I thought, blinking repeatedly."Are you sure? Maybe she just ate too much, you know she's a glutton," Carl blurted out, pointing at my belly."What's that suppose to mean?" I yelled, glaring at him."Your majesty, my queen, there is no need to argue. If you don't believe me, you can ask another physician to check the queen, I'm sure they will say the same thing.""There's no need for that. I've known you for years, there's no way you'd make a mistake over something like that," Carl muttered."Thank you! your majesty. I'd advise the Queen not to do any strenuous activities. She needs a lot of rest, and also has to eat mostly fruits and vegetables," the physician cautioned."Thank you! sir Thomas," Carl lauded, giving him a small smile, and he nodded, returning the smile."Congratulations
ZARA'S POV"Zara, tell us how it happened," Queen Catherine, Aunt Anna, and some servants gathered around me, giving me a curious look."Tell you, how what happened?" I repeated feigning ignorance. I knew what they were talking about, but pretended not to."I mean, the sex between you and the king," aunt blurted out, and I felt my cheek heating up. Even though I can't remember how it all happened, I still feel shy thinking about it."Aunt, why should I discuss, such a sensitive matter with you all," I replied, trying to avoid the topic."Okay fine, don't tell us," Queen Catherine said, and they all sighed, giving me a disappointed look. I know aunt would not leave the matter, so I suggested we had fun."Anyone who can catch me will be allowed to name my baby," I yelled, running away. It's been a long time since I had fun, I guess being a queen, took all the fun. CARL'S POVI stood on the balcony, a huge smile on my face as I watch Zara laugh and play with Catherine, lady
"Allies? why should I trust someone like you?" Gwen asked? "You don't have to trust me, just work with me." "I don't want to, I already have the help of someone else," Gwen replied, blatantly. "Do you mean the children? you'd be a fool if you reject my offer because of those little children. I'd advise you to pick your allies well. what could mere children, help you with?" Gwen looked at her and thought about what she said. Right now, she seems to be on the losing side because Zara was pregnant. "I'll think about it and get back to you," Gwen told her. "You'd have to think fast, I don't have all the time, in the world," she said, walking out of Gwen's chamber. ZARA'S POV "Zara, did you notice, the king was staring at you from the balcony?" Aunt Anna asked, and I blushed. "No, I didn't," I replied. "Well, he was. can I ask you something?" "Go ahead, Aunt." "Are you in love with the king?" She asked, giving me a curious look. "I don't know aunt," I replied truthfully.
CARL'S POVNow that I've expressed my feelings, I feel like a weight has been lifted off me and I feel happy.Although I was a little disappointed, that she didn't reciprocate my feelings. but as I said, I was going to wait for her. I know Zara was also attracted to me or even felt something for me, but I wanted her to say it.When I kissed her, it felt so good, like a fire ignited in my body and soul, like there was a powerful current flowing through my blood and veins and I wanted more. I wanted to rip off her dress and have my way with her right there, but I couldn't because I had a feeling that we were being watched.I pulled away from to kiss, staring at her and I smiled when I saw how flushed her cheek was. "Zara," I called, taking her hands in mine. "we have to go back to the palace," I told her, but before we could leave, an arrow out of nowhere, flew toward Zara, and I immediately pulled her away.Zara gasped, looking horrified, her body trembling in fear.I didn't w
Gwen took the orphan's right to where Carl and Zara sat. "Children, this is King Carl and queen Zara," Gwen introduced and the children were so happy since it was their first time meeting the king and queen. They immediately ran past Gwen to meet Zara and Carl. Although the children wanted to hug them, they were scared that Zara and Carl would be mean just like Gwen. "Hello children," Zara said, smiling brightly. She opened her arm to the children and they ran into her embrace. "You are not as mean as Lady Gwen," the little girl who had wanted to hug Gwen earlier blurted out, pouting her mouth, and Zara smiled, while Gwen gasped, glaring at the little girl. She has just ruined her plans by calling her mean in front of both Zara and Carl. "What is your name?"Zara asked the little girl. "My name is Ryn" she answered. "Ryn, how old are you?" "I'm four years old." Zara looked at the children and she felt sorry for them because, at such tender age, they didn't have parents. Car
"You"ll have to put this in Zara's drink at the banquet," the spy said, handing Gwen a bottle.Gwen looked at it curiously before asking, "what is it?" "Stop asking so many questions Gwen, just do as I say," the spy answered looking slightly annoyed, and Gwen nodded. ZARA'S POVI sat in front of the mirror, and Carl helped me style my hair. I had asked Lia to do it but Carl insisted that he wanted to do it himself. He even applied makeup to my face and I was amazed at how perfectly he could do it."This is how you put make-up on someone," Carl said in a mock tone, and I smiled, knowing he was talking about the day I put make-up on him."You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," Carl complimented, and I blushed."You're only saying that because I am your wife," I replied and he chuckled."Zara, even before you became my wife, from the first time I saw you, I thought you were the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."When he said that, I felt my heart throb in joy. My che
