Married to the arrogant king

“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 plans to abduct princess Zara, he knew it was impossible, because Carl’s nation was guarded by the most dangerous and well-trained guards.

Their defense could hardly be broken. No one could infiltrate it unless you had a death wish. so he only hired people who worked in the palace to act as fake assassins to play a trick on Carl and ridicule him in front of everyone.

He did that to put doubts in the minds of people. He wanted them to start doubting the strength of Carl and his nation.

He wanted people to think that, if Everton could easily be infiltrated, then Carl was not as capable and ruthless, as they thought.

Furthermore, he was sure there was no way those fake assassins would have been able to abduct the princess, or could it be someone else?

It had to be someone else. whoever it was that made Carl’s guards betray him, should also be powerful, seeing that he went against Carl.

But who could it be? He was glad the person made his job easy. He was going to abduct the princess, but only when Carl was busy sorting out the doubts, he planted in everyone’s minds.

Arnold, Arthur Called.

“I want you to spread the news that princess Zara has gone missing, to everyone in all the seven kingdoms,” Arthur ordered.

Now everyone will doubt you, Carl, Arthur thought, with an evil smirk.

“Arnold, I also want you to send some men, to find out who adducted the princess and what happened to the men I sent.”

“Yes, my king” Arnold muttered. He bowed his head in respect, before leaving.

Arthur waited impatiently in his chambers, for news of the princess and his men.

“Your majesty, King Darian is here to see you,” his guards announced.

“Let him in.”

King Darian walked in hastily.

“King Arthur, I have to admit, I didn’t think you could pull this off, but you did. How did you manage to abduct the princess so easily?”

Darian was shocked when he heard the news of Zara’s abduction. How did King Arthur manage to pull that off? He thought.

“I didn’t, someone else did,” Arthur retorted.

Darian’s eye widened in shock.

“Who could it be? Darian knew they were the only ones against Carl? Azrael who was against him, were now planning to form an alliance.”

“Who could it be?” Darian questioned.

“That’s what I’m trying to find out. I also want to know who is against Carl.”

we need to find him and make him our ally” Darian muttered, and Arthur nodded in agreement.

The news of the princess’s abduction has spread like wildfire. Everyone in Everton, and other nations, couldn’t believe it.

How can a powerful king like Carl allow such a thing to happen? I thought no one could infiltrate his palace, but I was wrong. Everyone was throwing different comments at Carl for his incompetence.

Arthur and Darian were very pleased with whatever was going on with Carl. Carl could even have more enemies, due to this incident.

All his hidden enemies may start to surface, once they heard of this. Some nations supported Carl because they could not afford to go against him.

But with this incident, they may start to challenge Carl.

ZARA’S POVCopyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

I woke up, to find myself in a chamber, different from mine. It was well arranged and had an antic design.

Where am I? I thought, looking around. I was the only one in the room and no one else. Who could have abducted me?

I still remember how they broke into the king’s chambers, and took me. Although I had fought them as best as I could, they outnumbered me.

I sighed, confused. How was that even possible, how could someone break into the palace and into the king’s chambers?

I racked my brain, thinking about it. The only way they could infiltrate the palace was if Carl’s guards had betrayed him.

I clearly remembered that his guards also fought with me. Could they be the traitors?

Who would be brave enough to go against Carl? Will that arrogant king even care that I was abducted, after all, he hated me.

I ruffle my hair in annoyance. Why do I always have bad luck? Tomorrow was my wedding and I was abducted the day before.

I rushed toward the door to see if it was open, but it was locked.

“Is anyone there?” I yelled, banging on the door.

“Get me out of here. I won’t spare you once I get you. Who are you, what do you want from me?” I screamed, but there was no reply.

I sighed in frustration, before going back to sit on the bed. I have to get out of here, and I need a plan.

I was deep in thoughts when the door clicked open.

“A female servant walked in, with a tray of food and a jar of wine.

“Who are you, Where am I?”

“I’m Giselle, your highness, and you’re in Nival.”
