Married to the arrogant king

The trio marched to where King Neil and princess Nadia, were staying at the royal guest quarters. They immediately caught the attention of everyone who saw them, because they were all so cute and chubby.

Although they did not look alike, they still come across as triplets.

“Tell Princess Nadia, that prince Aiden of Everton, requests her audience,” Aiden told the guard standing in front of the royal guest quarters.

The guards glanced at each other, then the trio. Seeing that Aiden looked intimidating, they couldn’t refuse. Although Eric and Ryn, did not have the intimidating aura, their eyes still held a lot of mischievous more than Aiden.

One of the guards immediately went to inform Nadia of their presence, before returning to them.

“This way please,” he muttered, leading the trio to Nadia’s chambers…

When Nadia saw them, she raised her brow in question and her mind wandered to why they could be there.

“Greetings Princess Nadia,” they chorused.

“What brings the three of you here? and which one of you is Prince Aiden?” Nadia inquired.

“I am Prince Aiden, King Carl’s little brother, and this is Prince Eric, and Princess Ryn, my best friends,” Aiden replied. He didn’t tell her, that Eric was related to Zara, knowing that Princess Nadia might not like anyone close or related to Zara.

Nadia smiled. “If I can win prince Aiden over, maybe he’ll tell me, what I need to know about his brother Carl,” she pondered, smiling mischievously.

“Come, Prince Aiden, come sit,” Nadia said, gesturing to a stool, opposite her.

Eric and Ryn turned to each other and pouted. “It’s not like we are invisible right, why is she offering a seat to Aiden alone?” Ryn whispered to Eric.

Eric scoffed, then he said, “it’s because Aiden is Carl’s brother, and her soon-to-be brother-in-law, so I guess she wants to win him over.

Ryn nodded her head after Eric’s explanation, then she said, “but we can’t keep standing, right?”

Eric nodded in agreement, tilting his gaze to Aiden.

Aiden noticed the two were not happy when Nadia asked him to sit, so he refused her by saying, ” I’m sorry, but I can’t accept your offer. if I must sit, my friends should too.”

Nadia was surprised and slightly embarrassed, she wanted to win him over, but it seems like it wouldn’t be as easy as she thought.

“Sorry about that prince Aiden, your friends can sit over there,” she muttered, pointing toward the stools by the fireside.

Eric and Ryn immediately went and sat down, but not before casting Aiden a grateful look…

“So tell me, Prince Aiden, what brings you to my chamber?” Nadia questioned.

“I’m here, to discuss an important issue,” Aiden replied.

Nadia raised her brow and mulled over what important issue a child, like him would want to discuss with her, but she decided to listen anyway.

“Tell me, Prince,” she urged.

“It’s about Lady Gwen, the woman you fought with,” Aiden tells her.

Nadia immediately became keen with interest when Aiden said that. She didn’t get a chance to deal with Gwen back then, due to Carl’s interference, but she didn’t forget about the issue.

“Tell me, prince Aiden, what about her?” Nadia asked.

“Do you know the reason she fought with you?” Aiden let out.

“Of course, I do. It’s because I scolded her in front of everyone, for spilling her drink on me. The nerve of that woman, I will surely teach her a lesson,” Nadia rasped.

Aiden chuckled. “Princess Nadia, I’m afraid that’s not the reason she fought with you.”

“It’s not?” Nadia inquired, with raised eyebrows.

“It’s not. It’s because, she also has eyes for king Carl, and wants to become the next queen,” Aiden informed.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Nadia’s eyes widen in surprise, then she said, “Are you sure?”

“Of course, I am. I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t,” Aiden answered.

Nadia clenched her fist in anger. “That low-life whore, she dares to think of the king in that way, I’ll be sure to put her in her place.

Aiden’s lips curved up into a smirk when he saw the look on Nadia’s face.

“Princess Nadia, we’ll take a leave now,” Aiden tells her, gesturing to Eric and Ryn to come along.

Nadia nodded, absent-minded. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Gwen. “I need to tell father about this. He will help me deal with the witch Gwen, while I focus on King Carl.

Nadia immediately went to her father’s chamber and narrated everything that Aiden, told her.

King Neil’s face darkened instantly, as he remember the way he was humiliated, because of Gwen.

“Nadia, you don’t have to worry, just focus on King Carl, I’ll deal with Lady Gwen.”

“Father, what would you do to her? will you kill her?” Nadia inquired.

“I don’t know yet Nadia, I need to find a way to get my hands on her first, before deciding on what to do,” King Neil replied, an evil glint flashing across his features…

Meanwhile, Gwen was happy that her first plan worked, as she celebrated in her chamber.

“Milady, I must admit that you are very wise when it comes to this sort of thing,” Roxanne, Gwen’s maid complimented.

Gwen smiled, then she said, “I know Roxanne, that’s why I need to think of something else to finish the Nedal princess once and for all.

“What will you do milady? Do you intend to kill her?” Roxanne inquired.

Gwen smirked. “I won’t kill her Roxanne, but by the time I’m through with her, she would wish, that she’s dead…

IN CARL’S OFFICE

Jerald found some information about Zara’s poisoning, after investigating for a while.

“Your Majesty, I found some information, regarding queen Zara’s poisoning,” he tells Carl.

A dangerous glint appeared in Carl’s eyes when he heard that.

“Tell me, Jerald, what did you find?” Carl inquired, his brow raised in question.

Jerald sighed, then he said, “My king, I don’t know if what I found would be relevant but…”

“Just tell me, Jerald. whether it’s relevant or not, I want every piece of information,” Carl rasped, cutting him off.

He flinched slightly at Carl’s tone of voice, then he said, “Your majesty, I questioned all the servants who worked in the kitchen on the day of queen Zara’s baby banquet, and none of them knew anything, except one.”

“Who is the servant, where is the servant?”

“She’s here my king,” Jerald answered.

“Lilith, you can come in,” Jerald yelled, and a frightened servant girl walked in.

Carl snapped his gaze from Jerald to the servant girl.

“Lilith, you don’t have to be Scared, tell the king what you know,” Jerald urged.

Lilith trembled slightly, picking on her nails.

“Yo… your majesty,” she stuttered.

Carl’s gaze was focused on her all the while, watching her every movement. He was getting impatient and wanted to yell at her to speak up but he didn’t want to scare her.

“Lilith, you can speak up. I won’t hurt you, I give you my word,” he reassured.

Lilith glanced up to meet Carl’s eyes and saw the reassurance in them, so she said, “Your majesty, on the day of the banquet when queen Zara got poisoned, I was in the kitchen and I saw a Lady giving the servant whom you arrested a concoction to give queen Zara, I also overheard her saying that the servant shouldn’t tell queen Zara it was from her,” Lilith narrated.

“Who is this Lady?” Carl asked, with keen interest.

Lilith hesitated for a while, then she said, “your majesty, she is…”
