Married to the arrogant king

“I didn’t know you would cry for me, you arrogant king,” Zara said, her weak gaze on me.

I smiled, breathing a sigh of relief. “Zara thank God you’re okay, do you know how worried I was,” I muttered.

“Sorry, if I made you worry,” she said, rising, to a sitting position. “What happened, I only fainted so why do you look so worried?”

I stared at her confused. “Zara, did you faint before or after the fire?” I inquired.

“What fire?” She asked, giving me a confused look. I didn’t want anything that would bother her. I feel there was more to what happened, maybe someone set the fire on purpose.

I will have to tighten the security in other to avoid something like this from happening again in the future. Instead of answering Zara’s question, I decided to change the topic.

“Zara, are you still mad at me?”

She sighs, before saying, “Being mad at you won’t change anything. it won’t change the fact that I was poisoned, or bring back my baby, so no, I’m not angry anymore.”

My heart leaped in joy as she said that. “Thank you, Zara,” I said, pulling her into my embrace.

“Are you really going to marry, the nedal princess? Do you like her?” Zara asked, pulling away, as she gave a curious look.

My smile disappeared immediately at the mention of the Nedal princess. I had to deal with the fact that someone here wants to harm Zara, how would I handle another issue.

“Do you like her?” Zara asked, again.

“Of course, not my queen, the only reason I agreed to marry her, was because king Neil requested I did so in exchange for the purple lotus, that was used to cure you, and nothing else. you are the only woman I want to be Zara, so you don’t have to worry, I’ll find a way to avoid getting married to her,” I explained, giving her a reassuring smile.

Zara returned the smile, chewing on her lips, and my eyes snapped to her lips. the way she brought her tongue to lick her lips, sucking for a while.

As I watched her, dirty thoughts ran through my mind, I thought of how her soft lips would taste, and how it will feel around my dick.

“Carl, are you listening to me?” Zara’s voice rang out, snapping me out of my thought.

“What did you say?” I asked.

“I said, the Nedal princess will be arriving soon, and you know they would want you to get married to her right away,” she repeated, but all my attention was on the way her lips moved.

Slowly, I leaned forward, capturing her lips in a slow and hungry kiss.

I sucked on her lips, and tongue, savoring every taste I could get. my hand making its way to the back of her head, to pull her closer. Zara kissed me back with the same hunger, running her little fingers on my chest and I felt myself harden.

I groaned into her mouth pulling away slightly to let her catch her breath before kissing again…

IN NEDAL

News of Zara’s recovery has reached Nedal. King Neil immediately ask princess Nadia to get ready it was time for them to journey to Everton. The soon they got there, the sooner her wedding to Carl.

Nadia hastily packed her things, she was so happy that she would be getting married to Carl the king of the biggest and strongest nation.

She had also heard tales of how handsome and breathtaking he was. Nadia didn’t care if Carl was married to Zara, all she Care about was being the Queen of Everton. That way her dream would be fulfilled. She also believed that she would be more beautiful than Zara and Carl would like her immediately he sets his eyes on her.

After Nadia finished packing her things, King Neil ordered, about fifty soldiers to accompany them to Everton.

He was also going to Everton with his daughter, to see his daughter’s wedding. He wouldn’t even mind if his daughter gets married to Carl as soon as they arrived, that is how desperate he was.

He was also glad that Zara was poisoned, or he wouldn’t have gotten such an opportunity.

“Nadia,” he called. “once we reach Everton, you must do your possible best to win Carl over. You must make him fall in love with you, that way, you’ll be able to control him, and get him to divorce queen Zara.

Nadia nodded and smile at the thought. If really she was able to get Carl to fall in love with her, she would be the happiest woman. She couldn’t also wait to control and use him.

…

It took two whole days before they could get to Everton. Immediately they arrived, their mouths snapped open, as they gawked at the huge palace in front of them.

“Goodness father, I can’t believe I’m going to be the queen of such a beautiful nation, and also live in such a huge palace. I must be dreaming.” she squealed.

“This is not a dream Nadia, you had better start seeing it as a reality.”

Meanwhile, Carl and Zara, walked hand in hand around the garden.

Carl picked up a beautiful rose and put it on Zara’s hair, then he placed a quick kiss on her lips.

“Beautiful,” he commended, looking at Zara with eyes full of admiration and she blushed.

Just when she was about to say something, she was cut off by Jerald who came running towards them.

“Your majesty, King Neil and princess Nadia have arrived in Everton. Do you want to go welcome them?”

Carl scoffed, “it didn’t take them long enough to reach Everton, but took them long enough to reply when I asked for the purple lotus,” He mumbled under his breath. He could already see how selfish they were, although they are from a small nation, they were very ambitious.

“No, I will not. You welcome them and direct them to the throne room,” Carl told Jerald, and he nodded.

Jerald also like the fact that Carl didn’t go out to welcome them, he didn’t like the idea of Carl marrying princess Nadia because he also thought they were selfish.

They could have just given the purple lotus in exchange for something, but they choose to arrange a marriage instead.

“Carl, why didn’t you go out to welcome them,” Zara asked.

“My queen, I didn’t welcome you, so why should I welcome them,” he replied.

“Yes, you were very arrogant back then,” Zara muttered feigning annoyance.

“I apologize for that my queen, if I knew I would one day fall in love with you, I would have come out to welcome you.”

“It’s all in the past now king Carl, I forgive you.”

Carl smiled, before holding Zara’s hand in his.

“Let’s go, Zara. you will sit beside me on the throne so that princess Nadia would know her place…

When king Neil and princess Nadia reached the palace, they expected Carl to welcome them, but they were disappointed.

“Welcome to Everton king Neil, King Carl awaits your arrival in the throne room,” Jerald announced.

Only Jerald and a few councilmen, were there to welcome them. Jerald almost laughed at the disappointed look on their faces, but he suppressed his laughter.

Clearing his throat, he said “this way please,” leading them, while they followed behind.

When they reached the throne room, they saw Carl and Zara sitting down proudly and majestically on the throne.

Princess Nadia scoffed. “She not even as beautiful as me,” she mumbled, but deep down, she knew it was a lie and felt very Jealous of Zara.

King Neil too thought the same. Once he saw Zara, he started to fear. He doubts if his daughter would stand a chance against Zara, but still, he chose to keep his hopes up.

“Greetings King Carl, Greetings queen Zara,” king Neil muttered.

“Welcome to Everton King Neil, it is a pleasure to have you here, and once again, I would like to thank you for your help in saving my queen, and the love of my life,” Carl spoke boldly.

He was making it obvious that Nadia didn’t stand a chance, but king Neil and princess Nadia didn’t understand him.

Princess Nadia was busy making efforts for Carl to look at her but he just focus his attention on king Neil, like she doesn’t exist.

“I’m glad that I was able to help you king Carl, it’s an honor,” King Neil, said boastfully.

Carl gave him a fake smile before saying, “I’m surprised that you arrived so soon.”

King Neil understood what Carl was hinting at so he said, “it’s because we left Nedal four days ago.”

Princess Nadia turned to her father confused, didn’t they only leave two days ago, maybe he made a mistake, I should correct him.

“Father, we left two days ago, not four days ago,” she muttered, looking all proud.

King Neil almost passed out. Why did she have to say that now Carl would know he was lying. So he immediately said, “Did I four days I meant two days, I made a mistake King Carl sorry.”

Carl scoffed then he said, “Can you tell me why you arrived so early.”

King Neil laughed sarcastically. “My king, we arrived early so we could see how queen Zara is fairing,” he lied. He didn’t want Carl to know that he came for the wedding or Carl would see how selfish he was.

He planned that after he stayed for two days, he would bring up the marriage issue, but meanwhile, during the two days, his daughter would still try working her charms on Carl.

Princess Nadia on the other hand was too excited and just so Carl would notice her, she said, “Not just that, we are here so we could proceed with the wedding as soon as possible.”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
