ZARA’S POV
I paced around the room, thinking about what Giselle told me. I was getting married, but to whom. It can’t be Carl, after all, I was abducted. who could it be?
Is it prince Kieran? Uhhhh! I ruffled my hair in frustration. Maybe I should have just let prince Kieran exin himself instead of beating him up.
What do I do now, how do I escape if he intends to marry me? Think Zara, think. There was no way I could fight my way out of this because I would be outnumbered.
Carl, you idiot, annoying fool. What is taking you so long toe rescue me? If you don’te now I won’t spare you.
Why should I even wait for him toe save me, I should save myself.
I ran toward the door, twisting the doorknob, and thankfully it was open. Two guards were standing outside the chamber, and immediately turn to look at me.
“Your highness,” they greeted with a bow.
“Take me to see prince Kieran,” I ordered.
“Your highness, prince Kieran does not want to see you.
I knew he was still angry at me for beating him up, but I needed answers.
“Tell him that I’m ready to listen to him, and there will be no violence involved.
One of the guards left to deliver my message, and I immediately knock out the other guard.
I dragged him into my room, took off his clothes, and wore It. It was a little big, and heavy, but I didn’t care. After that, I wore the guard my clothes, tieing him to the bed, before leaving the chamber.
I didn’t want to wait for prince Kieran’s exnation anymore. For all I know, he could be a bad man.
I took the opposite direction, to avoid meeting with the other guard, or even prince Kieran.
How do I get out of the pce? I don’t even know my way around. I wanted asking for directions but figured out, they might find me strange and alert the prince.
I kept walking, making sure to avoid the guards and servants. I was lucky, I also wore a helmet, that way they wouldn’t be able to recognize me.
After walking for what felt like hours, I finally found a door leading outside. I wanted doing a victory dance but couldn’t, because I was so tired, due to the big and heavy uniform I was wearing.
I strolled toward the direction of the door and was almost outside when I heard the sounding rm bell.
“Close all the exits,” some guards yelleding toward me, and I froze.

Prince Kieran and Carl were almost at Zara’s chamber when a guard came running.
He was the guard Zara had sent to deliver her message to prince Kieran.
“Prince Kieran, the princess wants to see you” the guard announced. She also said no violence involved.”
Kieran shuddered, thinking about why Zara would want to see him. He turned to Carl, with a smirk.
“Maybe by the time she’s done with you, I wouldn’t be the only one with a ck eye and broken nose,” Kieran muttered.
Carl stood in front of the chambers, with Prince Kieran hiding behind him.
“Carl, I will wait outside, while you go in,” Kieran dered. With what he went through at the hands of Zara, he was scared of going close to her even if she clearly stated that there will be no violence.
Carl knocked on the Chamber door but got no reply. He knocked twice again and still no reply.
Is she sleeping, why is she not answering. “Are you sure, princess Zara is inside her chamber?” Carl asked the guard with a frown.
“Yes king Carl, she was inside her chamber just now,” the guard replied.
“She might be waiting behind the door, with a dagger in her hand, ready to strike,” Kieran whispered.
He imagined different scenery in his head. How Carl entered the chamber and got stabbed in the chest by Zara.
Kieran also imagine Zara cutting off Carl’s ball, and fluttered at the thought.
“Be careful Carl,” he whispered again.
Carl shrugged, opening the door to Zara’s chamber, but gasped in horror at the sight in front of him.
He saw the other guard, dressed in Zara’s clothes, and tied to the bed.
Prince Kieran also decided to take a peek inside the room and also gasped.
“What the hell happened here?” Carl questioned the guard who was tied to the bed, and was now awake.
Princes Kieran on the other hand looked around in fear.
“Princess Zara knocked me out,” he answered.
Carl scoffed, roiling his eyes at the guard.
“How can a woman knock you out?” Carl sneered, ring at the guard. He looked ridiculous in Zara clothes.
“It was unexpected king Carl,” the guard replied.
“Be easy on him man, your woman has the strength of a tiger,” Kieran stated. He was beginning to doubt if Zara was really a woman.
“She couldn’t have gone far. my guess is that she is still inside the pce. Kieran order your guards to lock all exits. we have to find Zara before someone else does.
Carl looked calm but was panicking inside. He prayed silently that Zara was still in the pce.
Prince Kieran immediately gave the order to his guards.
“Lockdown all exits, and find princess Zara.”
…
I was panicking as the guards ran toward me. Before I could react, they already locked the gate.
How will I escape now? I’m sure they already know I was no longer in my chamber and must have figured that I was nning to escape.
“What do I do now?”
“You, someone yelled, startling me.”
I twirled, to see two guards walking toward me. I could hear my heart beating loud and fast in my chest.
Should I run? If I do, that would make them even more suspicious.
They were now standing in front of me, with their eyes scanning me.
“Who are you, I’ve never seen you around,” one of the guards questioned.
“Look at his uniform, it’s oversized, what kind of guard is he. I find him strange and suspicious,” the other guard added.
“I’m a new guard, newly assigned to the pce,” I lied.
They looked at each other then back at me.
“You are lying, no new guard has been assigned to the pcetely. who are you?”
“He’s probably a spy. Take off your helmet now.”
I was now sweating profusely, my body tensed, and I was afraid. I stood still not knowing how to react.
“Take it off now, or we will slit your throat.”
