Married to the arrogant king

ZARA’S POV

My heart was beating fast against my chest, as I stared at him in disbelief. “It’s not true Zara, it’s not true,” I kept repeating in my head. But when I opened my mouth to say those same words to him, it was like the words were stuck in my throat, and wouldn’t out.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Zara,” he called, trying to touch me, but I took a step back.

“Yes yes, it was real. I kissed her because, I wanted to, because I like her, Zara, I like her.” His words kept replaying in my head. but my heart was too stubborn, not ready to believe it.

I sighed, glancing up to meet his gaze. “I don’t believe you, Carl, please just tell me the truth. Is something wrong, did something happen?” I asked, all at once.

He stared right back at me, before averting his gaze. “Zara, It’s like I told you before, I like her, and I want to form an alliance, I don’t see anything wrong with that,” he retorted, with an unreadable expression.

I scoffed, before saying, “I still don’t believe you, how can you just like someone all of a sudden?”

“You don’t have to believe me, and whether you do, or not, won’t change anything,” he replied, walking out of the chamber.

I was glued to my spot, as I watched him leave. Although I wanted to go after him, pressure him into telling me the truth, the real reason why he was doing this, but I decided to let him be for now. I understand that being a king is not an easy thing, and sometimes you have to make difficult decisions. however, this is different, there is no way Carl would want to marry princess Nadia, there must be something going on, and I would have to find out what.

Meanwhile, Roxanne left to carry out the task assigned to her by Gwen.

“Draco Lady Gwen asked me to tell you, that it’s time.”

A deadly grin, appeared on Draco’s (Gwen’s man) face, one that could make one weak in the knee.

Roxanne was also scared when she saw the grin on his ugly face but decided to stay calm since she knew, he wouldn’t hurt her.

“I will bring princess Nadia to the lakeside,” Roxanne tells him, before leaving in a haste.

…

Nadia took a stroll around the palace when Roxanne approached her.

“Princess Nadia, King Carl has requested your audience and is waiting for you by the lakeside,” Roxanne told her.

Nadia smiled. “Carl wants to see me?” She repeated, and Roxanne nodded.

“And he also said, it should be you alone, and no one else,” Roxanne added.

Nadia couldn’t contain her happiness, as she squealed, twirling around. “First, it was a kiss, and now, he wants to meet me alone at the lakeside, I guess, he might have fallen for me already,” she thought. “Take me to him,” she said, oblivious to the evil glint in Roxanne’s eyes.

“Such a fool, she didn’t stop to think for a while, anyway, I’m glad things are going according to plan,” Roxanne mumbled inwardly, leading Nadia to the lakeside.

…

On the other hand, Gwen left her chamber immediately after Roxanne, going in search of Carl, however, she encountered king Neil.

“Lady Gwen, it’s nice to meet you once again,” king Neil muttered, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips.

Gwen gave him a fake smile and intended to leave, but he pulled her back.

“Lady Gwen, it’s rude of you to try and walk out on me. I spoke to you nicely, you should at least do the same, I mean return my greeting.

“King Neil, I’m sorry I can’t do that, I have somewhere else to be,” Gwen replied, walking away.

King Neil scowled. “How insolent!”

“Lady Gwen, I know you have feelings for king Carl,” he yelled after her, and Gwen stopped abruptly, turning back to meet his gaze.

“King Neil, you should stop poking your nose in other people’s business. Instead of worrying about my feelings for Carl, you should worry more about your daughter,” Gwen retorted, turning around to leave.

King Neil watched her retreating figure, wondering what she meant. he could swear that he saw an evil glint in her eyes as she spoke. lady Gwen, what are you up to?

Raven, Talon, go after the Lady Gwen and abduct her, make sure you do it discreetly,” king Neil ordered his men. After that, he quickly went in search of Nadia…

Nadia trailed after Roxanne, as they made their way to the lake.

Once they got there, Roxanne turned to Nadia “your highness, I’ll leave you here,” she said, turning around to leave.

Nadia looked around in confusion. “The maid said Carl would be waiting here, but I don’t see him,” she thought.

“Stop their servant girl. I thought you said the king would be waiting here, where is he?”

Roxanne twirled to look at her, then she pointed behind Nadia and said, “He is right behind you,” before running away.

Nadia whirled over “Carl…” she called, but instead of Carl, a huge and ugly man stood before her, staring down at her.

Nadia shivered, as it dawned on her that it was a setup. “Wh… who are you? wha… what do you want?” she stuttered.

Draco roared into a fit of laughter. “Princess Nadia, you shouldn’t be worried about who I am, but about what I’m going to do to you,” he muttered.

Nadia gulped, taking her eyes up to meet his dark ones. Beads of sweat immediately formed on her forehead once she did so, while Draco flashed her a toothy grin, showing her his brown and rotten teeth.

Nadia unintentionally wrinkled her face in disgust. “How can someone be so ugly,” she thought, taking a step backward.

Draco saw her reaction, and let out a scoff. “Princess Nadia, you shouldn’t be the one disappointed, I should be. I thought you were going to be as beautiful as my queen Zara, but I must say, I’m disappointed that you are nowhere near her,” he tells Nadia.

Draco has been obsessed with Zara, ever since he saw her at the bathing chamber. He was supposed to have his way with her, but Carl had to come and ruin everything.

When Nadia heard that, she immediately became angry. “Shut your mouth,” she yelled.

Draco chuckled in disbelief. “At this moment, you shouldn’t care about what I say, because you might not be alive after now. first, I will have my way with you, then I will kill you.”

Once Nadia heard that, her eyes almost popped out of their socket. “Help,” she yelled, trying to run away, but was yanked back by Draco.

“Not so fast princess. Be a good girl and stop trying to run away. I might be gentle with you.” with that said, Draco tore her dress, pushing her to the ground.

“Ahh,” Nadia yelled, trying to push him away, but her attempt was futile, as Draco’s movement grew more powerful and desperate than before.

He used one of his hands to pin both her hands to the ground, while the other parted her legs.

“Wait, please wait. Nadia cried out, and Draco stopped for a while.

“What now princess?”

“I… I will pay you double what whoever sent you paid. Is it gold, salt, land, or a title? I will give you more,” Nadia begged.

Draco scoffed. “My loyalty cannot be bought.”

Nadia almost passed out when he said that. Is all hope lost, what do I do now? She pondered, racking her brain, for what she could give to make him stop.

Once Draco saw that she was quiet, he thrust into her with full force, earning a scream from her.

“Princess Nadia, although you are not a virgin, you still taste so good,” Draco groaned, pounding into her.

Nadia cried in pain, as she felt her virgin stretch, due to his massive size.

“Stop, stop, I will give you whatever you want, power, status, queen Zara,” Nadia yelled, and this time, Draco stopped.
