Married to the arrogant king

ZARA’S POV

We grabbed our weapons, fighting the men who were close by and before you know it there was chaos.

Everyone was fighting one man or the other even the women had been released and some already fled running for their lives.

By the time the fight was over, most of the men are women were dead including the bandits, some were dead, while some fled.

There were just about a hundred and fifty men and like three hundred women. Even my soldiers were just a few now like seven men remaining.

“Captain, someone called, and I turned around to see Jamie and Theon walking toward me. I was so happy that they were alive, and I ran towards them, hugging them.

Jamie cleared his throat and I chuckled.

” Where is Lia? I suddenly remembered.

I twirled, looking around toward where the women were.

Lia, I yelled.

“Jamie, you have to find Lia.”

“Lia, is that your wife?” Theon asked and I could help but laugh.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Y… yes, I shuttered. I wanted to tell him, that I was a woman, but I decided to leave it until I get to Everton.

“Princess, someone yelled and I turned to see Lia running towards me.”

“Princess? Theon asked with a suspicious look.

“Why did she call you that?” he asked, and I thought of a lie to tell him.

“She is a little mentally unstable and sometimes says nonsense,” I muttered with an awkward smile.

“Honey are you okay,” I asked winking at her so she would play along.

“Honey? Prin… I mean Captain, what is wrong with your eyes why are you winking at me?” Lia asked.

“Lia honey, remember we are married, you are my wife.”

“Married, wife, what are you talking about, How can we be married, Are you okay?” Lia blurted out and I almost had a heart attack.

I hugged her, whispering into her ears.

“Lia, he thinks I’m a boy and that you are my wife, so you have to play along.”

“Oh, I should play along,” she said loudly and I immediately covered her mouth.

I glanced up and saw Theon laughing, but he immediately kept a straight face when he saw me looking at him.

Lia, you fool I thought.

It was time to go to Everton and Theon agreed to come with me along with some other men and women, so we were forty altogether. Thirty men and ten women.

We took some horses, riding towards Everton. I guessed the horses belong to the pirates. I was also lucky that no one took fury. She probably didn’t let anyone ride her, or they would have surely taken her because she was a beauty.

When we were just a few miles away from Everton, I asked one of the women to disguise as the princess.

CARL’S POV

I was in my chambers with Gwen, having fun. Gwen is my childhood friend and we grew up together. We were not just friends, but friends with benefits.

I was riding her fast and hard when someone barged into my chambers.

Your high…

The person’s voice immediately trailed off upon seeing what was in front of him. I didn’t stop but kept on fucking her.

“I’ll wait outside,”

“Just speak,” I said without looking at him.

“Princess Zara is close to Everton,” he mumbled and I immediately came all over Gwen.

I cleaned myself and put on a robe.

“She escaped? I must say I’m impressed.”

“Yes my king, it was a day and she handled the bandits, she must be really brave,” Jeffrey muttered with a smile.

“You should come and welcome her, she will be here any minute.”

“Why should I? I’ll be in the throne room, send her there, along with whoever she came with.”

“But my king, it may seem rude if you don’t go and welcome her.”

“I don’t care, I’ll welcome her in the throne room,”

Jeffrey left and I sighed.

“He seems to already like the princess,” Gwen muttered and I scoffed.

I took a bath putting on my clothes. I walked into the throne room, and I sat on my throne with my legs crossed.

My council members were standing on both sides, while I asked some to welcome the Princess.

“Your majesty, the princess of Azrael, the herald announced, and I waited eagerly to see her.

A woman walked in wearing a royal robe with other people behind her. She brought a lot of people, I thought.

She walked toward me in a slow stride. The throne room was big and before she reached my side it took about ten minutes.

The princess was now standing in front of me. But she was not what I expected. In fact, to say I was disappointed was an understatement. Like what the fuck. I’ve heard stories about how beautiful and enchanting she was, but the woman standing in front of me was completely opposite from that description.

I could also see the confused look on my council member’s face, while Gwen who was also standing among the council members had a smirk.

The woman standing in front of me was chubby. What the hell? I thought they said she was slim and slender.

She even had a mole on her nose and when she smiled at me, I almost puked. She had a huge gap tooth and looked like a clown.

Can someone put her out of my misery? I thought. It’s a good thing I didn’t go out to welcome her.

“Greetings your highest,” she said, and I almost died. Her voice was deep like a man’s voice. So much for an angelic voice. Who the hell gave that description of her, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill them if I find them.

My eyes caught with another beautiful ocean blue ones, and I was lost staring that them. I scanned the face of the person, and it was so beautiful, like the most beautiful face, I’ve ever seen. The face was so small that it could fit into my palm.

She was dressed like a boy, but I knew she was a girl. She had a smirk on her face as she looked at me.

What, is she also laughing at my misery, I thought and scoff. Why can’t she be the princess? I thought, sighing at how unfortunate I am. There is no way I was marrying that ugly princess.

“Greetings your Majesty,” I heard the most angelic voice, I’ve ever heard said, and I glanced up to see the same beautiful face staring at me.

“I’m princess Zara of Azrael,” she announced, and everyone gasped.
