Married to the arrogant king

CATHERINE’S POV

I purposely sent Zara to the king’s room, because I knew he was with that witch Gwen. I really didn’t like her. Carl was my son and I didn’t want that woman to trap him.

She may pretend in front of everyone but I knew she was a corning woman.

I watched as Zara staggered into the room. She was drunk and it makes my plan even more perfect.

I smiled when Zara walked into the room, I could just imagine the look on both Carl and Gwen’s faces.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

I walked closer to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“What are you doing?” Someone said from behind, making me jump in fear. I turned to see Aiden staring at me.

“You scared me,” I said holding my chest.

“Mom are you eavesdropping on Carl,” Aiden muttered with his eyebrow raised.

“Of course not,” I replied, with an awkward smile.

He looked at me suspiciously, before he walked away. For a five years old, he acts like an adult. I looked at the door one last time before walking away, I didn’t want anyone else to catch me eavesdropping.

ZARA’S POV

I woke up with a startling headache. Looking around I found myself on the floor on a balcony.

What the hell! How did I get here? I was so drunk last night that I didn’t remember a single thing that happened.

Was I so drunk that I ended up sleeping on a balcony? Even if I didn’t remember a thing, I’m sure a servant would have shown me to my room.

I tried remembering what happened, but I couldn’t, so decided to forget it. I stood up with my legs shaking. My body aches a lot because I slept on a hard floor.

“Princess, Lia yelled, running towards me.

“I’ve been looking everywhere for you, I even asked the servant where you were, and they said you were in the king’s room, but I didn’t find you there,” Lia muttered breathlessly.

Wait, did she just say the king’s room.

“Lia, what was I doing in the king’s room?” I questioned, curiously.

“A servant told me that he took you to the king’s room yesterday as per the Queen Mother’s orders, he said the king and you will be sharing a room,” Lia muttered, with a smirk.

If they took me to the king’s room, then how did end up on the balcony.

“Princess, are you okay?” Lia asked, looking worried. What are you doing on a balcony, when you should be in the king’s room?”

“I also don’t know, can you get me something to stop my headache.”

“Sure,” Lia replied walking away.

I stood there for a minute, before walking in the direction, where Lia went to.

“Your Highness,” the Servants greeted when they saw me.

“Please can you tell me where my things are,” I asked a servant, and she looked shocked, Maybe it’s because I use the word, please.

I always used please whenever I was asking for something. I may be a princess, but I still considered everyone an equal.

“It’s in the king’s room your Highness,” she muttered still bowing.

“You should stop bowing, just look at me when you talk.”

“We are sorry your Highness, we won’t be able to do that, you are a princess and we are just servants,” the girl replied.

“You may be servants, but you are still humans just like me. I would like you to treat me as not only your future queen, but also as a friend,” I muttered, and they all looked at me with shock and I smiled.

“So can you please show me to the king’s room?” I asked the same girl, and she nodded.

“This way your Highness,” she muttered walking away.

“What’s your name? I asked her.”

“Carmen, my name is Carmen, your highness,”

“It’s nice meeting you Carmen,” I said with a smile.

I began processing all they have told me. I can’t believe I will be staying in the devil’s room. I mean, there is no way, that will work. who even knows, maybe he was the one who kept me on the balcony.

“Princess,” Carmen called and I looked at her.

“You are different from all the other royals. we thought you were going to be rude and wicked, but you are not like that at all,” Carmen said, and I chuckled.

“This is the King’s room,” she said pointing at a golden door, and immediately I remembered coming here yesterday.”

I didn’t bother knocking or waiting for the guards to announce me, I just barged into his room.

Carl was standing there with just a towel wrapped around his waist with water dripping from his body. He had tattoos on his body and looked hot as hell. For a second I was lost staring at him before I snapped out of it.

Zara, he’s the devil you can’t fall for his charms I told myself. I glanced up to see him smirking at me, and immediately memories of last night came flooding back.

How I walked into the room, and everything that happened. So I was right, it was this arrogant king that kept me on the balcony. Even if I didn’t have proof because I was sleeping by then.

I glared angrily at him, wishing I could punch his face and wipe the smirk off it.

CARL’S POV

I decided to pay her back for interrupting my fun. I gently carried her from the bed, walking out of my room. I took her to the balcony down the hall.

I wondered how someone could sleep, so deep without even knowing what was happening. Maybe because she was drunk.

I dropped her gently on the floor, looking at her for a while. She looked so small. I stood there for a while, staring at her before walking away.

****

I walked out of the bath, with just a towel wrapped around my waist when someone barged in. It was Zara, she seems to have a thing for barging into the room.

She looked lost for a second before she regained herself and started glaring angrily at me. I didn’t care, I just kept on smirking.

“Did you sleep well, Princess?” I asked with a smirk.
