Married to the arrogant king

ZARA’S POV

After eating, I went straight to take my bath because I stink. I sat in the bath, with my eyes closed, loving the feeling of the warm water on my skin, Lia also sat beside me helping me to bathe.

Zara, Someone yelled and I opened my eyes to see Catherine. She walked towards me with an apologetic look, I guess she feel guilty for what her evil son did to me.

“Zara, I’m sorry for how my son treated you, I can’t believe that stupid son of mine would lock you up in a dungeon, I only got to know about it a while ago,” Catherine said.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to apologize to me, it’s not your fault.”

She smiled, patting my head then she walked away.

I walked into the devil’s room after my bath, to put on my clothes. It was a good thing that he was not in the room, because maybe apart from being evil and arrogant, he may also be a pervert.

I thought about leaving the room to find another room for myself, but I changed my mind.

I grinned evilly, as I thought about what to do to Carl.

****

It was night already and the arrogant jerk was still nowhere to be seen. Even though I was feeling sleepy, I still waited.

After a short while, I could hear footsteps and I immediately put the blanket over my body and pretended to be sleeping.

Someone walked into the room, and I could tell it was Carl. I opened one of my eyes to take a peek at him.

He walked into the closet and then came out with a changed cloth, then he walked toward the bed laying beside me and my breath hitched.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

I was not used to sleeping on the same bed with someone else, but I didn’t have a choice, or I did but didn’t want to take it.

I waited until it was midnight when I knew he would be asleep, then I climbed down from the bed, tiptoeing to the closet, then I came out with a set of makeup.

Tiptoeing to Carl’s place, I snap my finger at his face to make sure he was still sleeping. Then I began my work on his face.

The arrogant jerk thinks he could make me sleep on a balcony and also lock me up, and go scot-free. I put lipstick on his lips and also drew his brows.

I made sure I was gentle so I would not wake him up. After applying makeup on his face. He looked really cute like a girl.

But I wanted him to look ugly, so I drew things on his face making him look like a clown. I glanced at my handy work still not satisfied.

He deserves much more than this, but I didn’t have a choice but to just leave it at that. Glancing at him one last time, I tiptoed back to the closet and kept my makeup things before going to bed.

I woke up and didn’t find the jerk on the bed. Where could he be, has he seen his face? Climbing down from the bed, I didn’t wait for the servants to help me, I just rushed and took my bath.

After bathing, I put on my clothes and shoes and rushed out of the room.

“Good morning princess, the servant greeted with their heads down and I replied with a smile.

“Where is the king?” I asked one of the servants.

“The King is in the throne room, the servant said, and I rushed toward the throne room.

I hid behind a large pillar and watched the king, he was sitting on the throne with his legs crossed and he still had the makeup on his face.

I was trying so had to hold back my urge to laugh. I’m sure he didn’t look at the mirror, or have a bath after waking up.

The council members who stood before the king also had an amused look on their faces. I wonder why none of them dared to tell the king anything.

Suddenly, someone walked up to him and whispered something in his ears and his look turned dark.

Did, they finally tell him that he looked stupid? I couldn’t hold the urge to laugh anymore, so I held my mouth, laughing so hard.

I was so happy, that I made him look ridiculous in front of all his council members.

” princess, what are you doing?” Lia asked, and I glanced up to look at her. She was staring curiously at me.

“Princess did you see the king this morning, he looked like a clown, with make-up all over his face,” Lia said and burst into laughter and I joined her.

Suddenly, she stop laughing and looked behind me, before bringing her eyes to me. Her eyes and mouth were wide open in shock.

“Princess, don’t tell me you did that to the king,”

“And what makes you think I did? I asked Lia with a mischievous smile.

“Because he locked you up and that mischievous smile on your face tells me you did it” Lia replied.

“Okay I did it, I wanted to pay him back for what he did to me” I replied.

“But princess, the king will be so mad and I’m sure he is not going to let this slide,” Lia said, looking worried.

“Don’t worry Lia, I will be fi…

I was cut off by Carl’s voice. He was standing and he looked really angrily.

“Get the princess now,” he growled angrily walking away from the throne room, and I shivered.

“Princess, the King looked really pissed off, what are you going to do,” Lia muttered, sweating profusely. She was shaking as if she was the one in trouble.

“I smirked, thinking of a plan, I couldn’t let the king find me, or else I would be doomed.

“Lia, I will need to find a place to hide from the king, I muttered walking away with Lia following behind me.

“Look who we have,” someone said, and I turn to see Gwen, the king’s so-called best friend walking toward me with a smirk.

“You really manage to piss off the king, don’t you?” Gwen muttered, still smirking.

I was not going to just be quiet today, I needed to put her in her place.

“What can I do he is going to be my husband after all, so If I don’t taunt him who will,” I replied her with a smirk, and her gaze turned dark. She looked angry and also jealous.

“Do you think because you are marrying the king, that makes him yours? he is never going to love you,” Gwen blurted out and scoffed.

“And do you think because you sleep with the king, that makes him love you? You are just a nobody and someone who throws herself at the king,” I replied.

You, she said trying to slap me, but I caught her hand and flung it, walking away. I didn’t have her time because I was in a hurry, I needed to get away from the king as soon as possible.
