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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYWJ858YIH

There was a moment of silence then I heard footsteps next to me as the guard left with a bow to his majesty. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PLxBbb05K
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIdvr9Jc6Z
I peeked through my lashes to already feel his stare. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCOTHTr1Hf
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyJZwS5f6m
He stood up with grace as he slowly walked down to the table then near me. He held a hand out to me. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zb0i4osnf
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM43rLL0Ni9
I looked up with my eyes wide open. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0P8Nc6JAi
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvoXIxJcAn
Does he want me to kiss his hand or hold it? 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPu803kbQE
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqlKmJJ2I7
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.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND5KFV6lMm
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGWWUELb1Y
He held my hand securely and brought it up to kiss the back of it. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOyevCz6U6

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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gvFK1bAPN

I need to get myself together, this is no way to act as one of the leaders of the warriors. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRRDtnnhov
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVThFElDYW
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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcenAoasesl
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzHR4d5hHy
My mouth opened wide as I tried to search for words to politely refuse. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc6R7Arh6L
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC8WMCIuyu
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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWCHTTgScG
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcojTIYWL7t
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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGVb3Kqndq
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlvczdxMXn
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" 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gnXKGjRYT
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnyjhmMglx
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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhZvcU2Nzt
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFvqEHlgUV
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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSub8wEsWC

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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBq12JELqs
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCVjWwjhI4
Maybe I should start with using his name alone. I mean it's only in my head and no one will hear it. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAijfhd4Ti

Cian. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84iyyMaDov
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTDGoCw7nt
Why does it sound so majestic even without the king. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG5LrNc74M
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvkgCyH9J3
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Evander whisper to me "Am I late?" 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9RFzeqtdU
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiwWkua4vC
"No, I'm early" I smiled at him as he looked next to himself and smiled at me. We both heard a throat clearing. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEL7wwB93k
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdb5FASVZ1
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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vgXWd1cAh
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn90JQGbly
And to be honest, he looked quite adorable. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN8soi2kQy

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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmanK4pXvh8
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZuPVSHUXF
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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3obFp0wlhv
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK2wppzhuz
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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlunF4Q91Gm
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0hciIyFfZ
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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mz9QOGgBL
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5bqYPdrkq
What a traitor for leaving me alone with Cian. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei8NNmfu5V
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qbvXCGrrs
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 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNQ73D1odn
