I slowly opened the door. I couldn't look up because I kept remembering the dream. This was good to begin with because I shouldn't look up in front of king Cian. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjvbCDErr6
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIli3AGRzPx
There was a moment of silence then I heard footsteps next to me as the guard left with a bow to his majesty. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLuWAlWPXy
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2gsIZ4yTd
I peeked through my lashes to already feel his stare. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPptdHFLjmT
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJkvtFGlT2
He stood up with grace as he slowly walked down to the table then near me. He held a hand out to me. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3b7fKW8iJ
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHaT93geeh
I looked up with my eyes wide open. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCLVIRRa9D
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb07QLNIru
Does he want me to kiss his hand or hold it? 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjDlUYwGfB
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkxnZ1q7md
I chose to go with the latter to be on the safe side. I looked at his beautifully structured face. His full lips, strong and beautifully structured nose, his long and dark eyelashes that reflected on his brown, beautiful and stormy eyes.223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRJF0AIdts
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSzsrJQSHX
He held my hand securely and brought it up to kiss the back of it. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyi2ebihou

His words made my knees buckle. He made me feel so good with his presence that if he asked me to stab myself with my twin blades, I'd do it. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfcrrJBCfQ

I need to get myself together, this is no way to act as one of the leaders of the warriors. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTKi4dY0I2
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkujaCbhST
I cleared my throat as he looked at me with a hint of amusement and admiration in his brown eyes. He brought me towards the table and pulled the chair next to him for me. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT26Yn2RdWl
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnstZUJQu6
My mouth opened wide as I tried to search for words to politely refuse. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYDPNQU8V7
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlC2iqsxNZ
This is where his queen should sit, not me. And he hasn't even accepted me publicly yet. No one knows about us being mates and it would look wrong for one of the new leaders to sit next to the king. It was disrespectful without context given. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugIqsQRpn6
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v3XqX2Ije
I was saved by the knock that sounded. A small panic built up inside me as I bowed my head in apology "I'm so sorry you did not need to worry yourself with trivial matters, your majesty" I looked up to see him frown at me as his eyes held sadness in them. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnL2t3WnTH
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qLEO3o4wK
Another knock sounded before he said anything. However, before he let the person behind the doors in he lowly whispered "We are your soulmate, Signy. Please call me as Cian if you are comfortable with it" 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rYKG1QWSN
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGU7n3I78h
My breath hitched and It was caught in my throat as I tried to breathe from how he made me feel. It was crazy to have the king of Asmodemia talk to me like that. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb2fFh8XIT

I had always fought Argo as a child and told him I would marry prince Cian just because he was a prince and I thought I'd become a princess if I had married a prince. It was ironic with the situation I was in. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9h96RxhV5

After king Cian said come in, Evander made his presence known with his head bowed. He made his way next to me and bowed deeper for king Cian. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnjvOeCNY4
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbtQa00HbF
Maybe I should start with using his name alone. I mean it's only in my head and no one will hear it. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdbqujptm5
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmDDu9czdT
Cian. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ETRnbYBWe
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8jN12Hlod
Why does it sound so majestic even without the king. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx3wX0pjsz
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOiAOMxiXu
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Evander whisper to me "Am I late?" 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR5lg1Pdka
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzJY5eQ8KT
"No, I'm early" I smiled at him as he looked next to himself and smiled at me. We both heard a throat clearing. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9Ibv0blXJ
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmTbUoT6SU
We looked up to see... Cian looking at us with his eyebrows creased and his beautiful full lips in a small frown. To Evander, he looked angry, but to me it looked like he was displeased. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMhNLzG5o5
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmO8KuPWbi
And to be honest, he looked quite adorable. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb1ovqXlne

He announced with authority as he sat at the head of the long table. We were seated on each of his sides. I was seated next to where the queen should have been seated, but he didn't have one yet. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmem9yIbUK

I looked down at my plate that was provided with a simple breakfast. Cian started telling us the basics of how to recognize poisoning in our food, drinks and utensils. It was a great starter as we were trying to eat. But that was part of the training to begin with. Of course, the food was not poisonous, but after our breakfast, we were provided with samples of poisoned materials, what they consisted of, what they do to the body and the antidotes for each of them. We had brought our handbooks that we have been provided with to keep our journals and notes in during training. I kept note of everything he said because the training here was very strict. I did not want my mate to catch me off guard. I wanted him to know that I work hard for my title. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgvkRpxeTQ

After breakfast, Cian walked in front of us as we followed him towards our office. According to Cian, he had spent most of his time there to take care of royal duties. So we were to not only protect him, lead warriors but to help him through royal duties as well. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB4BKPEpKA
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4CsGebhCf
I wasn't complaining, until I found out that he decided I needed more training than Evander after lunch. So, Evander who was happy to be dismissed, left the office with joy in his strides. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthqIEMr1W3
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTIAwWdLpK
What a traitor for leaving me alone with Cian. 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jv7R8rOSe
223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKF4IpJCgY
I quietly tried to do my work. But he was so distracting. I wanted to get up and feel his lips like I did in my dream. I wanted it so badly, but I held back. I was going through some papers, but I looked up almost too quickly when he said 223Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNRATPwEdC
