A week later:212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF66Yi9530k
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxMNPpL1dO
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMGyviRlai
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9DH8AdwMM
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCileD0XIk
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac5BgZeDXt
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3GzkeEf2e
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB5bE0Lkyg
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY31OAWIilD
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKOQ7xSR6h
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kip71SaC4
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Gep6ut0P
I killed him.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkzVfypedR
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEtFjv542N
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAaiZhjbZc
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQAVLRkcbI
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQNITG0RBf
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mWU273tZy
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4YRg92fG4
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuK9dmnPBd
I looked back at them "W-What?"212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5ldvy3mwv
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmbcgUIH7D
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04zUiO4WOF
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfccoGZjQq2
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPZYC9J23m
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYU9yprEXX
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg18sVafJTw
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGjZp2UId3
Oh come on, that's so adorable.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefh55IBSIQ
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGIMxF1rgX
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkXRhx8Ft8
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOMhm01rOf
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU0SMQAwXD
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKUjo6uZjn
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXsBdKb57L
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFonv9qmjq
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWhqrDldmN
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtr0eWYez3
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaocOmh7LOc
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeKpgulBvR
It wasn't fair,212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2ybmIaq4p
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeJfq53o0Q
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbWF8CtCa7
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlakJUr1vc
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5HhQBW10Q
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o4xoMGmPg
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr31lMBLXHT
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RoxA9jkLz
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4QUULBmnS
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILwL1T8BnB
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvl2BMSSDe
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QbJvx9cgV
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSsSaXDRGP
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXLEOlONlP
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyny52wWz02
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAXGr4KCim
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCRTfAUYHQ
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8fKqSUCbV
I breathed in frustration.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9v9dlUkse
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM3urtsxsN
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWG7CN0qF1
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW3cWXGaRw
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WXzbr1MGS
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2UkxnjZEB
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiab5qXtDKB
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpmEvfEtnU
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhx7xke6Up
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7Yv7jbtKU
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZWpsxZNDB
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTIWvqqawN
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HP9NzOMet
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblt2ofYHms
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63jRzfUvpz
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNhI9LB3Md
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyqoNV42m8
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ384I2vM5kV
"Signy this happens when we are training-"212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhuTElUmdE
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRhgBxt625
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE920UvoJht
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnY8NfRV1h
It was adorable.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyadbszmQfK
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyFZJveAUx
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwjVGbjI2t
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bEw2IrbIn
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhgD1pyFVu
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzyqn5PeR5
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeOXVqdOlb
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQSPcELkhz
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHjYhRmoq0
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUDthY240Z
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlfMeb8eAp
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVpOHSAtLD
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY7DPQcHUz
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSaDZKxcte
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCl2UbXmlg
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSoXEsMXuo
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rWQUwhSY0
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpZlNGQFce
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.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBGIu2iGNv
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KgyRnVlVh
And I think I know how. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1rzm4thWz
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F60da2FDV
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. 212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIHBsDxpZv
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyjBaHSQU4
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Ai1pu0IG
212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8EfkUSVU1
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.212Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7KQy2KILw
