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 I walked into my chambers, feeling tired after the stressful day I had. I saw that annoying princess lying on the bed, but I was too tired to care, so I left her. I walked into my closet, changing into something else, before going to bed. Immediately my head touched the pillow, I slept off. You won't blame me, it's not easy being the king. I have been working for two days without rest. **** I woke up, still feeling sleepy, but I had to get up early to discuss important matters with my council members. I took a glance at my side to see the annoying princess still sleeping peacefully and I scoffed, climbing down from my bed. I didn't like the annoying princess staying in my room, but last night I was so tired. once I'm done with the council meeting, I will throw her out of my room. I didn't bother to have a bath or change my clothes, I just went straight to the throne room. When I walked past some servants, they greeted me and looked at me strangely before immediat
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 POVHe aimed the arrow at me, it was so sudden, that I didn't have time to react. "What are you doing?" I asked, shivering in fear. His eyes were dark and I knew he wouldn't hesitate to shoot the arrow at me."Princ... Lia yelled but was immediately cut off by Jamie. He use his hand to cover her mouth stopping her from exposing my identity.Theon and Jamie stood helplessly, watching. They couldn't come close because it might just make the man angrier and he would decide to shoot me.Why did I even leave the palace in the first place? I could have just stayed there and faced the arrogant king, Instead, I choose to leave, and now I'm in trouble.Mustering up the courage, I decided to ask him what he wanted."what do you want?" I asked boldly, but deep down I was scared. I won't give him the satisfaction of seeing me scared."You seem bold for someone, who has an arrow pointed at him, you ask me what I want, you should have just backed down earlier and chose to lose like
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 "I princess Zara of Azrael and future queen of Everton, think the law is stupid," I blurted out, and everyone gasped. They all stared at me in horror, like I had said the most forbidding thing ever. "Your majesty, I'm lady Gwen, the lady in charge of women's affairs may I speak?" Gwen asked. "You may speak lady Gwen," the king ordered. "I think princess Zara holds little regard for the law. She was not brought up well by her parents, she should be punished severely for her reckless art," Gwen spoke, with a smirk. I was not going to let what she said slide. "Lady Gwen, what gives you the right to talk about my upbringing. You have no right to talk about my parents with that disgusting mouth of yours. If we should talk about upbringing, why don't we talk about yours?" I muttered, giving her a smirk. Her face turned pale in horror, as she understood what I meant. I could tell the council about her affair with the king. Yes, the king is allowed to have affairs with othe
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
ZARA'S POV Carl pulled me roughly toward the chambers. He opened the door pushing me inside before slamming it, making me shiver. He started stalking me like I was his prey. I backed away, trying to get away from him, but he immediately pulled me back, slamming my body into his. He had a murderous look in his eyes as he stared down at me. This time, I think I've really pissed off the devil. I was looking so small in front of him, that I was sure he could just murder me in one go. I gulped down nothing, thinking about this. "Wow princess, I have to say I underestimate you. who would have known you were so cunning," Carl muttered. I swallowed my fears, smiling at him. "Well, let's just say, this is my payback for what you did to my friends and me. How was my acting? You must be impressed," I muttered. He didn't say anything, he just kept staring at me. "How about I pay you back too, after all, you are not the only one who knows how to play tricks," Carl muttered, with a smirk.
