Married to the arrogant king

What Carl saw, left him speechless. The girl was lying on the floor, with foam coming out of her mouth and she look as pale as a ghost.

What happened? Carl shrieked. It was just a while ago, he asked the guards to arrest her, and now she’s dead. No, she was poisoned.

Carl clenched his fist, staring at the servant in anger. He was not angry that she died, he was angry that he didn’t get answers to his question, that he didn’t get to punish and inflict pain on her…

He growled, glancing around the cell when his gaze caught something on the floor. It was a piece of torn cloth, with something written on it. The note was written in blood and Carl guessed that it must be from the servant.

He immediately picked the piece of cloth, reading the content. In the note, the servant had written that she’d rather die than be tortured into spilling the name of her master…

After reading it, Carl burst into a fit of laughter, but his laughter was not due to amusement, it was out of anger. “So they think they could fool me by leaving a suicide note,” he mumbled inwardly, gnashing his teeth.

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

“What happened here?” Carl growled, causing them to shiver in fear.

“Your Majesty, we don’t understand what you mean.”

Carl looked at both the guards in anger. “What happened to the prisoner?” he asked, pointing to the servant girl, and they both tilt their gaze toward her, and after seeing the state she was in, they were gobsmacked, and frightened, at the same time. They knew how much Carl wanted to get answers out of her, so they were scared that he would have them killed or punished severely, for their incompetence.

“Your majesty, sorry we fail to keep the prisoner alive. Although we have just replaced the previous guard and started our shifts a few minutes ago, it’s still not an excuse for our ineptitude. We should have checked on the prisoner but we didn’t, forgive us, your grace.”

Carl sighed, glaring at the guards. Although he was angry at them for their incompetence, he was pleased with their honesty, and from the look of things, it seems the servant girl, died more than a few minutes ago.

“I want you to go call the guards on duty before you replace them,” Carl ordered, and one of the guards hastily left to carry out his order.

Earlier

Gwen, walked into the dungeon, her gaze going to the guards on duty. “I want to see the servant girl, who poisoned queen Zara,” she told them.

“Lady Gwen, that will not be possible. The King is not going to like it if he finds out that we let someone into the prison,” they answered, and Gwen sneered inwardly, putting on a fake smile.

“I understand what you mean, but can I talk to you for a minute,” Gwen said softly, giving the guards a seductive look, and one of the guards immediately agreed to talk to her, seeing that she was being seductive.

“Stay here and guard the prisoner, while I talk to Lady Gwen,” he told the other guard, before, going with her.

Once they were out of sight, Gwen kissed him, trailing her hands, from his chest to his manhood. Gwen knew that she wouldn’t be allowed to see the prisoner, so before she walked into the dungeon, she thought of ways to get through the guards, ways to get them to do her bidding, and the only way she could think of was to seduce them.

Gwen pulled away from the kiss, still stroking the guard’s hard dick through his pants…

A groan escaped his lips, as he closed his eyes, enjoying whatever dirty thing Gwen was doing to him. He couldn’t wait to tell his friends and brag about how a mere guard like him, did it with a lady from a noble family.

“I can give you more of this, and also change your life if you help me do my bidding,” Gwen whispered, leaning closer to him.

“Lady Gwen, I would do whatever you want, even if it involves killing the king,” he mumbled, his breath coming out hard.

Gwen chuckled, “I like the sound of that, but it’s not the king I want dead, it’s the servant girl.”

The guard pulled away staring at Gwen. “But milady, that would not be easy at all, if the king finds out, we’re both good as dead,” he reasoned, looking frightened, and Gwen scoffed.

“What’s your name?” She asked the guard.

“Bradley,” milady.

“Bradley, if you can do this little thing for me, I will not only give you Gold and a piece of land, but I will also give you my body,” Gwen said seductively, with an evil grin, and he thought about what she said. He would no longer be a guard, but a rich owner of a piece of land. ”

“Milady, the king would get to know that someone killed her and come for that person.”

“That’s why you have to make it look like she commit suicide,” Gwen explained, she also told him other things to do and agreed to distract the other guard.

…

Carl waited for the guard he sent to come back with the others, but when the guard returned, he didn’t come back with anyone, instead, he came with a frightened look on his face.

“Where are they?” Carl asked immediately, giving the guard a curious look…NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

The guard sighed, looking for how to break the news to Carl.

“Your majesty, they were found dead, in their chamber,” he reported, and Carl was gobsmacked, not knowing what to say.

He walked out of the dungeon silently, not sparing the guards a glance. His intuition told him that the other guards(Bradley and co) must have helped the culprit kill the servant girl, and they also got killed after.

True to Carl’s intuition, Gwen had asked one of her trusted men, to kill Bradley and the other guard who was with him, after he helped her kill the servant.

…

Neptune

King Arthur celebrated the news of Zara’s poisoning. He was so happy, that he finally got his revenge.

“Your majesty, our spy sent a message, saying that he was not behind Zara’s poisoning, but someone else. He also said that King Carl would not be able to save queen Zara because the lotus for curing her only grows here in Neptune.

Arthur glanced up at Arnold, before asking “what do you mean by someone else, and what lotus?

“My king, it means that king Carl has another enemy. Also, the poison used on queen Zara was the purple vine and only purple lotus can cure it.”

“So what you are saying is that no other nation has it except Neptune?”

“That’s not certain. I heard king Carl sent a message to the other nations asking them for it.”

A grin made its way to Arthur’s lips when he heard that. “Arnold, it seems the fates are now on my side. I pray the other nations won’t have the purple lotus, that way poor queen Zara would die, or I’ll just ask Carl to give her to me, in order to save her.”

“My king, you know King Carl would never agree to that, but I have another suggestion. “Recently, the same anonymous person from before sent another scroll. He said it would be best to attack Carl, now that he’s Vulnerable, And I suggest we listen to him. King Carl would be occupied with thoughts of getting the purple lotus, to cure queen Zara that he won’t see the attack coming. My king, let’s attack Everton.
