Married to the arrogant king

ZARA’S POV

“Did you sleep well, Princess?” The arrogant jerk asked with a smirk, and I suppressed the urge to scoff.

I put on the fakest smile anyone had ever seen, showing him my teeth.

“I slept well Carl,” I Muttered, calling him by his name, and I saw his eyes turn dark. He didn’t expect that I would call him by his name.

“How did you sleep, Carl?” I asked, emphasizing the Carl with a smirk.

“You should address me as your Majesty,” he said angrily, and I scoff.

“But that’s not your name is it,” I questioned, trying to get on his nerves.

He looked at me like he was going to kill me. I’m the one who is supposed to be angry after he kept me on the balcony. Stupid jerk, I just hate him.

“So, what if it’s my name, you have no right to call me by my name,” he muttered, walking closer to me.

I looked at him, anger evident in his eyes, but I didn’t back down, I met his gaze head-on.

“Okay, your Majesty,” I said in a mock tone. The way he was looking at me, if looks could kill, I’ll be six feet below the ground. He was so tall, while I looked like a kid in front of him.

We were both glaring at each other when someone knocked on the door.

Lia, walked in with a bowl of soup in her hands. she was trembling as she looked at Carl.

“G… Greetings King Carl, I mean your Majesty,” she said with a bow.

“I brought you soup, she muttered giving the soup to Carl, Instead of me, and he raised his brow in question.”

“The soup is for me not him,” I muttered eying him.

“Sorry princess,” Lia said giving me the soup, before walking away in a hurry, like someone was chasing her and I chuckled.

I walked to the bed, and sat down, crossing my legs, while siping my soup.

“What are you doing?” Carl asked angrily, and I raised my brow in question.

“What does it look like I’m doing? I’m sitting, while drinking soup,” I replied.

By now, his eye was, even more, darker than before, making me scared. Have I woken up the beast in him? He looked like the devil, a handsome devil.

“Guards,” he yelled, and the guards outside came running.

“I want you to take the princess and locked her up in the dungeon.”

What, did he just say dungeon, how can he be so cruel?

“What are you doing? I didn’t do anything,” I yelled and he scoffed.

“That was for disrespecting the king, guards take her away.”

The guards grabbed me, taking me away.

“You arrogant jerk,” I yelled before I could stop myself.

“Lock her up for two days without food and water, until she repents,” he said turning away, and I kept cursing him in my mind.

Thank God I drank all the soup before they dragged me away so I was not feeling hungry.

They took me to the dungeon, it looks a little dark and it was cold. I sat on the floor, feeling very angry.

I curse you, Carl, I curse you. Bastard, Arrogant jerk, devils in form of a man. I hate him so much.

*****

I was there for two days without food and water. No one came to see me, even Lia who tried was dragged away by the guards.

I was feeling really weak, hungry, and tasty.

Someone walked into the dungeon and I glanced up to see Carl with a smirk on his face.

“You don’t look so good princess, are you hungry, do you want water? He asked in a mock tone and I glared angrily at him.

” if you want to get out of here, it’s easy, all you need to do is apologize,” he said with a smirk.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

But I didn’t answer him, he’s not going to break me or see me beg, never.

“You are not going to say anything, I think you like it here, so I’ll just live you here for another day,” Carl muttered, walking away.

I felt tears welling up in my eyes, but I didn’t let them out. King Carl, you wicked man, you will surely suffer.

*****

I stayed in the dungeon, for another day without food. I couldn’t even move my body anymore because I was so weak.

Carl, you bastard, I’ll definitely get back at you for this. How could he treat me like this?

Princess, Lia yelled, running into the dungeon and I was surprised the guards let her.

“I’m so sorry princess, I’m sorry you have to go through this,” Lia muttered with so much pain in her eyes. I was really lucky to have a best friend like her.

“Lia, how did you get here, if the king knows, you might be in trouble,” The last thing I want was for Lia to get into trouble with the devil.

“Princess, I came to take you from here, the king has agreed to your release. He’s so cruel to lock you up without food and water, I had to go beg Catherine, Carl’s mother to help us talk to him, he is really so cruel,” Lia muttered, angrily.

He surely is cruel, I’m sure his heart is as black as charcoal, I thought but I didn’t voice it out.

I let Lia help me out of the dungeon, I couldn’t walk because my legs felt numb.

Immediately I got to the hall, I had to close my eyes because it’s been three days I saw so much light. The servant immediately came to my side helping me.

“Your highest, I will prepare a bath for you,” one of the servants said, but right now I didn’t care much about having my bath, all I wanted to do was eat and drink.

“Lia, can I get some food,” I mumbled and she immediately left to get it. I sat down in the dining hall waiting for Lia and once she brought the food, I dug in eating like a hungry lion.

I stuff food in my face like someone who had never seen food before. There was a lot of food on the table and I didn’t just eat from one, I ate from all of them. If anyone should see me now, they will never believe am a princess.

“Go easy princess, or you will choke,” Lia warned, but I was too hungry to care about choking.

“Oh my God, I heard shouted from behind but I didn’t care. The person came in front of me and it was prince Aiden, the devil’s brother.

He looked at me with curiosity, and I could clearly see the amused look in his eyes.

He was just five years old, but I felt my cheek redden from embarrassment.

“I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but Are you human or an Alien, how could you eat like that?” Prince Aiden said in his tiny voice.

Blame your arrogant jerk of a brother for that, I wanted to say, but I kept quiet. I stared at Aiden for a minute before going back to my food.

Why should I even feel ashamed in front of a kid? King Carl this is all your fault, I will make sure I get back at you for this.
