A week later:54Please respect copyright.PENANAA59Igc6U7U
54Please respect copyright.PENANAWkzhDVgkic
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANA2kl9sF1HCD
54Please respect copyright.PENANACoSaVIwC4R
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.54Please respect copyright.PENANAq1I0mQ8ldo
54Please respect copyright.PENANAud2T9dGhtr
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANArQ9rmWI7P0
54Please respect copyright.PENANA4A6OgEChOM
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANA17P9M9FIN0
54Please respect copyright.PENANAx8JuybZCO3
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 54Please respect copyright.PENANATy3n7lKc1R
54Please respect copyright.PENANAKWTUOPFZOb
I killed him.54Please respect copyright.PENANARWY0Qk1IJC
54Please respect copyright.PENANAz4NL3oy3BU
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANAgqFN6NNLzY
54Please respect copyright.PENANALNSW9W2Yq5
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.54Please respect copyright.PENANA7hgTA38IFn
54Please respect copyright.PENANAmVfsMUGFBw
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANAHnXc29oD3S
54Please respect copyright.PENANAFesvbbWdCp
I looked back at them "W-What?"54Please respect copyright.PENANATB9tB7RFJH
54Please respect copyright.PENANATi8wFotQpy
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.54Please respect copyright.PENANArs1d8nuE3d
54Please respect copyright.PENANAy9XMC9LfSG
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.54Please respect copyright.PENANAQLg7KnP2u0
54Please respect copyright.PENANAb8SU4R0sze
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANA8pXPZ3jqGk
54Please respect copyright.PENANALvJohU8hhx
Oh come on, that's so adorable.54Please respect copyright.PENANAjfoP2vBvjQ
54Please respect copyright.PENANA6pBUYoHxsy
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.54Please respect copyright.PENANAOivOiv23Kq
54Please respect copyright.PENANAyjJccXoqwp
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.54Please respect copyright.PENANAi0jD0Ke57L
54Please respect copyright.PENANA4GpEoGa6hm
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.54Please respect copyright.PENANAXjvo3LRRUk
54Please respect copyright.PENANAzQbfGyFXEF
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.54Please respect copyright.PENANAQFkIgbwzVi
54Please respect copyright.PENANAwbAUWCyfFh
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.54Please respect copyright.PENANASgzVSnBoZZ
54Please respect copyright.PENANAXQnM43qYl1
It wasn't fair,54Please respect copyright.PENANAtZsgvK24ew
54Please respect copyright.PENANAqsnHZjfLym
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 54Please respect copyright.PENANAzVwpStdnfV
54Please respect copyright.PENANA87QNffVoSq
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.54Please respect copyright.PENANADHoB013bhp
54Please respect copyright.PENANAgk2cDmvIdz
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.54Please respect copyright.PENANAIwFx7mAPbU
54Please respect copyright.PENANAYuBBMLBs73
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANAph6aw0ePL3
54Please respect copyright.PENANA4tOBmCBi6T
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.54Please respect copyright.PENANAMYqXfsk1dM
54Please respect copyright.PENANAbKYXQHt8M4
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.54Please respect copyright.PENANAxZ5gGX2O2p
54Please respect copyright.PENANAnnCMY6m6i9
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANA1FTNz6pE41
54Please respect copyright.PENANATt6S4SRdzB
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANAH2LYNJ7RY8
54Please respect copyright.PENANAwph3941nBF
I breathed in frustration.54Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ7zkJ3nQ5
54Please respect copyright.PENANArkfliOlMH1
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANApTuuvoS4Sf
54Please respect copyright.PENANAutUo2urgDY
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied54Please respect copyright.PENANA4PkinMkRMi
54Please respect copyright.PENANA8TLzbBf3Qq
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"54Please respect copyright.PENANABYw2JnWajv
54Please respect copyright.PENANAIrljPfBvqX
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANA0xufYbi8jj
54Please respect copyright.PENANANw1YhLByvh
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.54Please respect copyright.PENANA7AodSoYWKf
54Please respect copyright.PENANAH9q6itv8nd
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.54Please respect copyright.PENANAy4XOirkkp0
54Please respect copyright.PENANA2tZ1MTrYC3
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.54Please respect copyright.PENANAiJEoVLVn74
54Please respect copyright.PENANAK2mUGs8P2C
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.54Please respect copyright.PENANAVkBKZCV7y9
54Please respect copyright.PENANANwaHJusbla
"Signy this happens when we are training-"54Please respect copyright.PENANAHoMWcF6Cla
54Please respect copyright.PENANAWOqYStUfBa
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.54Please respect copyright.PENANAEUC6jvZxFq
54Please respect copyright.PENANAGur5xMb5m2
It was adorable.54Please respect copyright.PENANAuMN1NZN9O2
54Please respect copyright.PENANA4HQe7Vrf4T
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.54Please respect copyright.PENANAyAHVlRJBZP
54Please respect copyright.PENANABA4ChQh2oM
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.54Please respect copyright.PENANAwbnTZFBTYK
54Please respect copyright.PENANAM4JefRv51x
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANAQvtjOsjuZr
54Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ8AIyYhLv
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.54Please respect copyright.PENANAswkZhOX3qT
54Please respect copyright.PENANADSvgddiHpZ
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANAsVWWHIPnkm
54Please respect copyright.PENANAmqyWNcaqYJ
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.54Please respect copyright.PENANAhXyfFMC1aa
54Please respect copyright.PENANABPv5YQ2YXC
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"54Please respect copyright.PENANAMNrPVQYVNg
54Please respect copyright.PENANA8qzG9YKOTi
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANAXD1NsnNWs1
54Please respect copyright.PENANAyUsjk1Dypz
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.54Please respect copyright.PENANAXbRfR9TZJ7
54Please respect copyright.PENANAqddkcdzpUW
And I think I know how. 54Please respect copyright.PENANAoYLf69vFPf
54Please respect copyright.PENANAIpla9tCd8l
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. 54Please respect copyright.PENANAHBTWg5e47X
54Please respect copyright.PENANAkAW0WiWEh2
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.54Please respect copyright.PENANAsVUKV2nq1o
54Please respect copyright.PENANATmodpT5nXw
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.54Please respect copyright.PENANAzkUqVHKLfm
