A week later:226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJavLj1O3J
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNsxd84CKy
We were stood on the training field. Cian was going to fight both Evander and I at the same time. I don't know if he is underestimating us or overestimating himself.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAkKiy13Ar
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RfrABrvMG
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b7OASXxkK
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtQCLcLNJW
It's not like we haven't fought with real swords before, in fact we were both warriors initially. So we have seen wars, ugly ones at that. My body is covered in so many scars of these wars that I can barely even make out if they are scars or a part of my body.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0dqHTujOp
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAb1gtIorK
My mother always used to tell me that no one will want me for the scars I have, that I shouldn't have chosen to be a warrior. What she didn't know is that my whole point to be a warrior was to kill her goddamned bastard husband. I put him six feet under with my own hands as Argo and mother watched. Argo was older than me, yet he didn't know what side to take, to this day, he feels guilty about it, he tells me that I was more mature to had made a decision to save our lives. He also had been a victim to father's abuse.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW8UriZNGo
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8njacYRAUD
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc2Aexe1Ub
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz08vdJWTe2
I killed him.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr47YkgfgSW
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qHorapdYQ
He was a threat to society and the royalty. He had wanted me to turn into a machine and kill them all. I grew a conscious and killed him instead.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWggG9GAIU
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZQBdDOc8b
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99cReDVpWH
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sKb00o8G4
His muscles flexed as he handled the swords. While he was talking to Evander, I failed to notice I was silently drooling as they both looked at me with a questioning gaze.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSsKSCjkM1
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtV1Sacl8h
I looked back at them "W-What?"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoWwUWphxS
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPM5OIlaxy
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrJsZYt84K
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ptdLB9RUR
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDQuA4YNuR
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GcS5XNwJf
I playfully smacked his arm and I heard a small growl erupting from Cian's chest. He looked at my hand on Evander's arm and had a disapproving expression.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSfH9V0tWT
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKCaiH0ABb
Oh come on, that's so adorable.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqlQPFASUt
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWZxqHDVb8
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk6yyhmDfT
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifwjNxzdH7
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetfS3ajVto
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94a5G6CHSO
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kfv3KCvNd
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH7lzIrrfh
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaHSW30M3W
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWZ63sjq9V
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbOYtwj2Wn
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqmIrNmrsi
It wasn't fair,226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaxTtDYXwu
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL0S4T0vmE
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWPMKIiBJM
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FYb5gMZrt
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6xL2Vu7YX
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGFZOznHbW
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuLsZDrjT2
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZapB9m2S7e
I was smaller than both of them, it was both a disadvantage and an advantage. I was quicker and I could escape easier. But if I am caught, it is all just empty words.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zECqjqEcd
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVIDooBupD
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDqk1I4SsC
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmhpe3JBlc
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhywY6GEnZm
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GMRGq8Agw
I turned around and looked at him, we knew what we needed to try next. I needed to let loose, it's not like I'm capable of hurting the king. My father had trained me to something that could take on 20 soldiers all alone. It wasn't even that i was aware of my actions, it all became second nature to me.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM3fSXp6LR
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBz9sqUgUa
Cian now was approaching us as he dodged all of my attempts, it angered me. He was my only match if there was one for me in fights.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1hFULOIal
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjuTmnvCps
I breathed in frustration.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrduVw7jTa
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6Cls6Gbkb
This time I don't know what came over me, but not only have I pinned down Cian, but Evander was laying there with a confused expression too.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DWCEhDHTA
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJZMycxKMz
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63wFZrLer6
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzlCwzaVs3
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnYY3JGMA2
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA1Rodh2eG
Before I opened my mouth again Cian was now the one pining me down "Don't let your guard down, little mate" as he looked down at me with an unreadable expression and two mixed pools of yellow and brown eyes.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28Ul5b03IM
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBzv2SnpPF
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbMw24OSFH
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rxyXhYE2j
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwxrIt62Ax
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0nW7DhXCp
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m1kv3NKK5
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyzKFzI1p0
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfma8scAm6
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XODihAyKc
"Signy this happens when we are training-"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoqjfVzUbd
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXNLTyJoHd
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h6JGMvUXZ
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XbUgRLqbB
It was adorable.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLMQmKmL5U
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgtsin1KGW
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPTUIb6rXX
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6tQSL5NHg
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rFlzQlwaJ
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa4BzBdb26
After some more fighting and techniques taught, we were allowed to leave the training ground to freshen up and rest. But not me, I apparently required more 'training' as Cian announced in front of Evander who was trying his best to not laugh out loud as he hid his face with a bow and quickly left.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8vDNpz8Xt
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR8wuB3VSD
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsI7F4ZSYP
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHvaBv5F1I
I felt his hot breath against my neck and his chest against my back. This felt more intimate than it was. I felt so jumpy around him.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLofjAoYTm
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjnJ6UY0sl
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSCWUl1e1h
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA5QuIZGns
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AMQCo6xJ0
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HotHC4qeG
I smiled awkwardly, I couldn't tell him. When my father ended up dead, no one knew. I hid his body so well that even if they flip the kingdom upside down, they wouldn't find it.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rez2Y4UvB
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74vkNPPThS
I knew the bastard deserved it, but I don't know if Cian will accept my past. I know that no matter what i shouldn't kill someone, but I did. And I know that I'll pay the consequences soon.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ot1wNmEwl
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkJRE1nnWG
And I think I know how. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgqMgPw0Om
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYTdxBuZvj
The sooner he knows, the sooner we can get the painful things out of the way. I could also possibly lose my job and get thrown into the dungeons. That wasn't always possible though. Victims who killed the one that hurt them were actually left alone most of the time. But it was alot of court and trial work. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAQHm1C5dJ
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXQ7x4Gopv
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPOy6LIelw
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22j7lL2OAN
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGEQRTBM72
