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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdoqi6yNFT

There was a moment of silence then I heard footsteps next to me as the guard left with a bow to his majesty. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuTyOS7X4j
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjyjKgQAoC
I peeked through my lashes to already feel his stare. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN12x1PdChm
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o5ILZoJK8
He stood up with grace as he slowly walked down to the table then near me. He held a hand out to me. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpqAs1OAZ9
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCe7enofw7
I looked up with my eyes wide open. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkjZf1chla
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYaNYrYPcr
Does he want me to kiss his hand or hold it? 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfy1PADyrz
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86dDVHPbRs
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.188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObWGqeJ2m5
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFag9ZbIv9K
He held my hand securely and brought it up to kiss the back of it. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO2MIHUM3Z

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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMalqXutKP

I need to get myself together, this is no way to act as one of the leaders of the warriors. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z3sWYjT48
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4kD0zCi4f
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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EtmyWYlBx
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zwwycksZv
My mouth opened wide as I tried to search for words to politely refuse. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU4OeAdrk8
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUCcZ7csKC
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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3BoRgstAM

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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jZOHfFb7P
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4QeHs78GY
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" 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm0WgPoAZU
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiOQgMhdMV
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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuaJvuEMkf

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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LJ9UNBzy4

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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN8egwM1iL
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkYqJr6TiS
Maybe I should start with using his name alone. I mean it's only in my head and no one will hear it. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqliwycC2kh

Cian. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa17kbPxzyY
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcoCABfjGt
Why does it sound so majestic even without the king. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lrj2RxWXs
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaWikeJZ32
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Evander whisper to me "Am I late?" 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bKQBULVju
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHbZBBj3yM
"No, I'm early" I smiled at him as he looked next to himself and smiled at me. We both heard a throat clearing. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JpPKhlBsI
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKxOGQiVlb
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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR4yvfZe4I
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IdJIdOd5n
And to be honest, he looked quite adorable. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0aDiVzbFm

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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwNI1HIbj8

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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluADIZubFZ

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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnY0smHH6v
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMO7HhjZWC
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. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRwWnzjYbX
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0NYkw2Wdf
What a traitor for leaving me alone with Cian. 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPN2FbiF3W

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 188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3z8TCSMsb
