A week later:157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJFWFDw23w
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlkkhkmSkf
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhqkrqPIJU
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcptCw8fku
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXQxrD1Uj9
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCXHzCT8nc
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbGkkV9dNK
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkqN2Sxj89
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sgtJzOPHY
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqVmcW4qrA
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6p6M8keay
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3NvS9hDgJ
I killed him.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU2C0BYilS
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtAlD4xrQK
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjjEeGYpV7
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07zIhlXC2a
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTbcHaZpDr
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIWByJ6LJf
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSamCl2b4rq
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC66jFgBtDT
I looked back at them "W-What?"157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5f4vcC6Bi
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen726ugF09
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn8wO7I6gj
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPZOOob0Fa
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DCWEbngDT
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzqILnX1mK
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG27tijU86N
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYtLN96jTi
Oh come on, that's so adorable.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNABUhvDHJ
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WNGog23d6
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDKCORxH2x
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEHwHSOoHA
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWdkJQHRs9
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ854YrtmKmc
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5SwmWTQOl
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu9SGkF85t
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MxkiSqMED
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNV4cJGRfq
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxeIK0lurL
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEqp4Ozq8P
It wasn't fair,157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6faRRwGEcq
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfVK2fHuTk
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfypEdaNm7
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW8TXD8ACL
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFcyIRpQjM
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ4ZUBHtwY
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qz86ONkMb
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTglyPrTj3
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXaM5GrWCP
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqYgGAhHdk
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQg9AGmLTu
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvog9FF9uD
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4zhGikVwz
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5HVnOZQuy
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0trso3M52
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y6W0u2mNn
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaBiQ6LsMT
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5c2j1HrvP
I breathed in frustration.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMf0Y1qaLg
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SxzAnFEsW
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX1c7f2A4J
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7K94FFhGa
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0XvPtPYwL
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvYUXXxWK8
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NqlPEDbYH
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12vbk4nw00
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9uXwK8dkm
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59D2TQKSjZ
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc7gVafkdT
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1KMmJrfvf
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qW0tyWDl9
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXnH2sGgHv
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0IlZXgRUn
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFPuTts96q
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR0ywPhVqN
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5ixz9x3sW
"Signy this happens when we are training-"157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGlVRkzuD0
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoTb37dtFy
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ89aJD9tT5
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUDQn5s4zO
It was adorable.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHsgMIhFWY
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLf8LbJmQd
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06Y0k5Udhl
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2RMg4li6D
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXRYKam6L2
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBU9Skgesd
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuG9pozUh0
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV6JkFaHq1
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZeMoHjS6w
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tDvhxsSmI
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OVq94Zt97
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbOgk8nQ5h
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWroWH0wiEO
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi5SHaNQ8p
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAdw6pUvGi
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFXSq8PCvu
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyESvvJ6BGO
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57HIFOAAEE
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.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU4oS73tbV
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozpTiNbcwr
And I think I know how. 157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPPaNRpew2
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSu5ejEMKH
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. 157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFWbiYt4JA
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8YnXUivQd
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAndrdFndh
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcmHV5spmT
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQomX6ksucj
