A Tale Of A Lifetime

1.4

Prince Matte - The Flirty and Playful Crown Prince of Forest Realm

**********

Hillary was left under the covers of the darkness and the protection of the large tree that served as her shelter against the cold and torrid raindrops.

Even when Devon was long gone, she did not dare to blink nor changed her eye's direction. Hillary continued to stare at the spot where Devon vanished. She wanted to run up to him and smacked him on the head once she saw him return as a punishment for leaving her alone.

All of a sudden, she sneezed. Followed by another and it went on.

Hillary rubbed her slightly red nose as she sneezed against the cold weather with nothing but her thin sleeping garments. She hugged her knees to seek for a little warmth that would gave her comfort and heat that she needed as of the moment. However, it was not enough to warm her up. Her goosebumps and shivering body was proof of her suffering against the cold rains.

This host body is really pitiful. It could not even stand a slight coldness...

Hillary thought at first but when she thought of it more, she realized she was at fault here for creating the villainess this way. If only she has a bit inkling of being transmigrated into her own story, then, she might have changed this story into an ending where everyone could live happily ever after. Now, she have to suffer the consequences of being born as this story's villainess.  

Hillary's mind went deeper and she thought of so many things : her life as Maxine Gosiasco, the host story, seeking a way to go back home, and planning on changing the host path to destruction. She thought all these things until her eyelids dropped and she went into oblivion.

Under the cold darkness of the night, a figure suddenly emerged at the spot where Hillary has been stubbornly staring at for awhile. The wind whipped into the figure's location and the smell of fresh blood permitted into the misty air.

With each step unstable, the figure of a man went to Hillary's hidden shelter under the large tree. The man in the shadow saw how the Princess looked so pitiful while shivering and so, he reached out his hand to touch the sleeping beauty but when he saw his bloody hands, he retreated.

He went to find a nearby river to cleanse his self of the blood odors and to treat his wounds as well. But before he left, the man placed his jade necklace at the Princess footing to be seen easily.

Under the darkness, the jade necklace shined green and emitted a warm heat.

When Hillary opened her dazzling clear eyes, it was due to the warmth that travels on her body. But what her pair of crystal clear eyes met   was also a pair of enchanting and full of mischief emerald green eyes.

"Who... Who are you?" She gasped loudly, looking so unguarded and disoriented.

The unknown handsome man gave her a flirting smile. "Your husband..."

Her eyes widened at that ambiguous declaration. She haven't even let her ex-fiance do her how much more to this man who was claiming to be her husband without her knowing.

"You!...Get off me!"

"But we're not yet done consummating our marriage, wife..." He said as he pecked a couple of kisses on Hillary's exposed slender neck and flawless white shoulder skin.

This man... How shameless can he be?

"Pervert man, stop what you are doing now or-"

"Or else what?" His once flirting smile suddenly changed into an evil smirk. "I really don't care. What's more important as of the moment is you and me under my bed, moaning and gasping for breath..."

"You!" Hillary could not retort back at him due to being embarrassed and angered simultaneously.

"Don't be shy, wife. You'll gonna enjoy this wild night under my care and nurture..."

Due to being helpless, Hillary could not stop her tears to fall. The unknown man was taken aback to the point of being speechless.

"You bully..." She sobbed pitifully.

The man lift his body away from Hillary's petite form yet was so comfortable to hug. "Never mind, I'm no longer horny anymore."

Hillary almost jumped with glee but was hindered when he continued, "What a crybaby you are..."
