A week later:155Please respect copyright.PENANARvPYZPC3xi
155Please respect copyright.PENANAmrS0rIVkqT
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAYpJLgUPB97
155Please respect copyright.PENANA3A55ONVNi1
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.155Please respect copyright.PENANAS2hQfbGJzh
155Please respect copyright.PENANAI8Se6SrsAQ
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAzbE0zVh8VV
155Please respect copyright.PENANA8KNL3oa3Nt
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAKTwEEj0oCy
155Please respect copyright.PENANAd7tSSbZurS
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 155Please respect copyright.PENANAFVrLzYssyv
155Please respect copyright.PENANAbbv6YTrQ7G
I killed him.155Please respect copyright.PENANAMzocWXP71Q
155Please respect copyright.PENANAsnyImR5XTV
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAJs8iSsmf9H
155Please respect copyright.PENANApp5QQaiI7c
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.155Please respect copyright.PENANAr4uqOoX4nF
155Please respect copyright.PENANAG0GRKjvjYx
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAp1JOjfYaBj
155Please respect copyright.PENANAd6qlzDV8kP
I looked back at them "W-What?"155Please respect copyright.PENANAlRscySryaP
155Please respect copyright.PENANAyrSj4H7uss
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.155Please respect copyright.PENANAqMQO1QTSSk
155Please respect copyright.PENANAIFOr0Sec1R
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.155Please respect copyright.PENANAy033HPCt0t
155Please respect copyright.PENANAKC4oVnoiNE
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANArpVxXAR0Pr
155Please respect copyright.PENANAvUSwt7Lb45
Oh come on, that's so adorable.155Please respect copyright.PENANAf7UmET6fWb
155Please respect copyright.PENANAiPTbYT6ESd
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.155Please respect copyright.PENANAfhjG3WJjFF
155Please respect copyright.PENANA4FfmmTHuBh
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.155Please respect copyright.PENANAWBWLoFMvgZ
155Please respect copyright.PENANAr3K0lk38hY
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.155Please respect copyright.PENANAiguXfh8BZu
155Please respect copyright.PENANA9ugBcgxWlR
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.155Please respect copyright.PENANAHkJdTTz39C
155Please respect copyright.PENANAPdoB7QH3Uw
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.155Please respect copyright.PENANAvccmPUdUtf
155Please respect copyright.PENANAyNy7Xybh0e
It wasn't fair,155Please respect copyright.PENANA4XUr7oty9P
155Please respect copyright.PENANAkshjCCF3gu
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 155Please respect copyright.PENANAZkXivbxhKB
155Please respect copyright.PENANAnz4VFD2qv2
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.155Please respect copyright.PENANAYjM6cXJwRn
155Please respect copyright.PENANAYtsjFA0xSq
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.155Please respect copyright.PENANACZ5Zm951aL
155Please respect copyright.PENANATEDX2Zxu6z
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ5FA3mbgv
155Please respect copyright.PENANAzyBjWr6V9n
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.155Please respect copyright.PENANAT3F8a5WWbM
155Please respect copyright.PENANA7FZnDJhMIg
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.155Please respect copyright.PENANALBANc8iCsU
155Please respect copyright.PENANAUEhTnGeTPv
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAJoKxlyzTJU
155Please respect copyright.PENANApIxwLIrdrm
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAWsN2J3G27a
155Please respect copyright.PENANAlPxmRUYE82
I breathed in frustration.155Please respect copyright.PENANAtdQBW0RaI6
155Please respect copyright.PENANAlhjM6BWqcE
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANA5EzunKbkQ7
155Please respect copyright.PENANA3HFqeXxGRN
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied155Please respect copyright.PENANAQ12n1ebYKk
155Please respect copyright.PENANAYoiaCwJyRX
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"155Please respect copyright.PENANAoUMdNGMJ36
155Please respect copyright.PENANASAlAG6YZqZ
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAYTCN8G8sxA
155Please respect copyright.PENANAtqTj4Y8Uvc
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.155Please respect copyright.PENANAAC4tlYSDUL
155Please respect copyright.PENANAFBdu1nEzdi
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.155Please respect copyright.PENANA5HjpNgjTzh
155Please respect copyright.PENANAsllnLHva0i
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.155Please respect copyright.PENANAqagXUvhKv5
155Please respect copyright.PENANAkZVnc78Xjb
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.155Please respect copyright.PENANAteYlJdElcb
155Please respect copyright.PENANAhE2QIpfeOL
"Signy this happens when we are training-"155Please respect copyright.PENANA9aDK9tyi7s
155Please respect copyright.PENANAA32U9Agvlo
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.155Please respect copyright.PENANATKi1pQ2D4r
155Please respect copyright.PENANAoow0fJiqI8
It was adorable.155Please respect copyright.PENANAWwosB4nofX
155Please respect copyright.PENANAtE6X8U7DgG
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.155Please respect copyright.PENANAnzBKRvSq2B
155Please respect copyright.PENANA67H3oAtmfp
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.155Please respect copyright.PENANAmjWcuw4aN5
155Please respect copyright.PENANAFyZ0E0pnhq
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAPq3pdTehr4
155Please respect copyright.PENANA9WWhcIpF7B
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.155Please respect copyright.PENANATB7xsvekpt
155Please respect copyright.PENANAt23DuaQ3UO
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAIWQ75C1kxr
155Please respect copyright.PENANAL7fgn2H6Tg
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.155Please respect copyright.PENANAvoGpGVfauE
155Please respect copyright.PENANAS9bd9pyJRl
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"155Please respect copyright.PENANATXE1iUdIah
155Please respect copyright.PENANAAVNgyz6aok
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAVXiXLJeqqS
155Please respect copyright.PENANAoZGLDJzVfg
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.155Please respect copyright.PENANAG3mwHq2UjW
155Please respect copyright.PENANA7ebV3prD6L
And I think I know how. 155Please respect copyright.PENANAApeeO05r1P
155Please respect copyright.PENANAcI7ZAOpomB
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. 155Please respect copyright.PENANA4rLFQpYU6J
155Please respect copyright.PENANA4CklNfnqby
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.155Please respect copyright.PENANA034gqdGzDf
155Please respect copyright.PENANAk6z0C7NEp0
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.155Please respect copyright.PENANABkouU3sQHr
