ZARA'S POVLia and I sneaked around in the palace like thieves. We hid behind pillars and furniture. But that was enough. I was sure that if we didn't leave the palace soon, Carl would find us."Princess I have an idea," Lia whispered."What idea?" I asked, also in a whisper."I think we should ask queen Catherine for help, even if she is Carl's mother, she likes you a lot and I'm sure if we ask her she would help," Lia said."But how are we going to go to queen Catherine's rooms, there are guards everywhere," I replied."You are right princess, I didn't think of that.""Ladies," a tiny voice said, startling me and Lia.We both twirled in the direction to see prince Aiden looking at us. "Aiden, what are you doing here," I questioned, and he rolled his little eyes."I'm a prince, and this is my palace, I could go wherever I want," he replied, and I realized my question was actually foolish."Now it's my turn to ask what you are doing sneaking around like thieves?" Aiden asked.

CARL'S POV"Where is she, I asked Aiden curiously." you don't expect me to just tell you without getting anything in return," Aiden muttered, smirking.I can't believe he wants something in return for giving me information. I'm not surprised though, because that's what he always does."What do you want," I asked him, getting impatient. "Why don't we leave mother's chamber first, then we can talk man to man," Aiden said, making scoff. Man to man, he's just five years old, I wonder what makes him think that he's a man."Fine, let's go," I told him, walking out."Bye kids," mother yelled, after us and I rolled my eyes."I want three pieces of gold," Aiden, blurted out, immediately we left mother's chamber and I scoffed."And what do you intend to do with it?" I questioned."If you really want information, you won't be asking me questions," Aiden retorted, and I felt like spanking him on his little butt.I looked at the little man in front of me, his face held mischief, and I

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"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

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?"
