The Villainess Princess’s Heartless Paladin

”Princess… ”

He spoke in his serious tone. And for some reasons his addressing her as princess irritated her.

She was his wife, they were married to each other for ten years and still he calls her princess. She knows he hated her… she understands he was a cold hearted man but at least once he could have trusted her and let her warm his frosted heart.

A tiny chuckle escaped from Valéries lips , she almost forgot who that man loved. How can she expect love from a man who has someone else encrypted in his heart?

Lord Paladin, Ezekiel de La Perrière the rumoured tyrant was her husband whose face she never , not even once seen. The man whose war achievements were known to every citizen of the Obela empire. The man who hated his wife and had an affair with his wifes step sister. Right now the same man was standing there in armour, face covered with a silver helmet. His fingers holding a tight grip of his sword.

Valérie squeezed her chest in grief. She now realised why that man was here. The man who neglected her, refused to see her is here with his sword to kill her of course.

”H-Honey… ”

She tears up , god knows how long she has wanted to call him this dearly. She hitched and stares emotionally at the cold silhouette… matching her pure jewelled blue eyes with his murderous crimson eyes.

”Honey, you are a warrior,but even the men of war take off their armour once in a while…but why you never? Why am I not allowed to see my husbands face? ” She bawled angrily, she had enough of playing innocent and delicate.

Ezekiel kept quiet.

His silence annoyed her more. She gets up and walks close to him. The fear she had towards him just like a hue of shadow faded away, the woman she was standing there in front of him was princess Valérie de Floyen. The royal blood running in her veins never accepts failure , the supreme mana power she holds in her is purest of all which can be suppressed by anyone.

”Please say something…I don want to die without knowing your reason for treating me this viciously. ”

She waited impatiently for his answer but she only received a cold glance.

And with a minute of silence between them , Ezekiel removed his helmet and that very same moment Valérie grabbed the front of his cloaks collar with both hands and kissed him.

She closed her eyes instinctively_The face she desired all this time to admire , now when he allowed her she had no courage to see his face. He thawed much quicker than shed expected. Almost instantly, like hed been waiting for this moment, he grabbed her hips and pulled her against him with a possessiveness that overwhelmed her.

His lips were desperate and starved as he leaned into the kiss, pressing her against the wall. She gasped and he deepened the kiss, his grip on her was firm. His masculine scent immersed in lavender incense awakened her lewd cravings.

Her body shimmered in heat and a lifetime of fancied thoughts which he gave her in a few minutes. Ezekiels hand abandoned her hip when he felt the warm sticky liquid on his skin.

He separated his lips from hers and saw his sword forced inside her abdomen.

”W-Why…? ”

He mumbled embracing her in his arms.

”I-I can be more raw than this… more exposed..more pure.. ” she coughed blood out of her mouth.

”Now I have a strong , very strong heart… thank you… Thank you for breaking my heart… ”

Wiping her blood from her lips she smiled at frowning Ezekiel and caressed his handsome face .

”Dear husband, Ive my pride… P-Please let me atleast die as your wife. ”

She blurted out lots of blood and her body went numb. Her breath slowed down, her heartbeat was no longer heard.

”Ah…why am I like this? ”

Valérie rubbed her eyes, waking and finding herself in the grand bedroom.

She sighed and closed her eyes in an attempt to wake up from this beautiful dream. But sleep was not hovering over her, in frustration she opened her eyes only to see the same mesmerising view again.

Didn I just killed myself then what Im doing in my royal palace? she looks around in confusion. The room in which she was, how can she possibly forget…the grand room in the royal palace.

Her hands ran down to her abdomen region and her eyes widened in shock. There was no blood, no pain. Her breath quickened as she panicked around, not understanding whats going on. It took her a few minutes to compose her feelings and get up slowly from the bed, moving in front of a big mirror situated in one corner of her room.

Her fingers brushed through her long golden strands of hair which were lingering over her gorgeous fair face. Touching herself in curiosity Valérie realised this all was real. This wasn a dream but a real case , how!

”Your royal highness, you are awake? ”

Valérie instantly turned back and saw a group of maids standing at the door entrance with their faces facing down.

Her blue eyes sparked in amazement she has really travelled back in time. But now she has to know how many years back she exactly travelled.

”How old am I ? ”

”Princess, you are going to be 18 in three months, ”one of the maids replied politely.
