A week later:52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Cpx0Lgp8
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksBrKuMFOg
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNKBamWbwU
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AJKDAyzyJ
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLisK6sp3D
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGmO0DqcV2
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JPmsJtpmC
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT0azOk4Db
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDN4oAymKB
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE4HRJph8e
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapgkaaG4O4
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxPnifHeJL
I killed him.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zDdxX3rJQ
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovhO5cQnjU
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEScVQVsUhg
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KcTi5VanK
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnF2k8ym05
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6cOWecbeh
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojPIHWBFhv
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHnhtfpTzw
I looked back at them "W-What?"52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCygarcFJ23
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw56fCUhIk
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvYOH683jE
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiq2SvbvXH
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapPbmCHDPp
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW5pxgSVXu
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqBJpjus3a
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEDsEWrFgV
Oh come on, that's so adorable.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8bQG8oBPD
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WsdG3SLIk
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo8mSwkk00
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO6xLxjrAW
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQXsHlyZzN
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqPUi7s46B
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQixaH9EawE
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYC0267zp8
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSF6yqbZix
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfGEjhUQ98
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNIxQQMhrI
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNA03EtGB8
It wasn't fair,52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJKPRG7vha
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8BgnFyQMq
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDbCzzK6Nf
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz7NBBQGe9
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjPYXXMspd
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4qgnSyLSi
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx0zethfgr
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPEIDjscFU
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvErqUjdsG
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lVf4luyce
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkOYo4J5UZ
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUphETowFz
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8fJSaZi6d
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFltqaV0rW
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L7B8Rwyy7
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4e1xzJD7P
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzm7y3Jabw
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB9ILJ7nY7
I breathed in frustration.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYptSKFO2Y0
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6L0oHHB9z
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlRzPig1ax
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40sEaW8E0Z
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC31nB8MXeH
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTefFATvDb
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6xuaA2sVO
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCg4R7L8MR
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9YHZOLXuM
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm8bqyImWM
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgZrYzMhCP
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBEMyRF9Vj
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVMzHYZUDo
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcBKVq15oz
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKj0SUNUpO
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXPebrXjG4
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9vnqfnODd
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhLpJGan9a
"Signy this happens when we are training-"52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlR8SEPvEz
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2E3XQsib5
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvjBFeeS44
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3YgZ6R9uY
It was adorable.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1GIlqj89m
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWFnquHhKI
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATo4nJ7FVQ
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEqdAQKVHv
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjM0hZ6E9t
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj65sR0uViV
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNAy5diH2R
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKNCnPJJ7E
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hIlG0tKv4
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfUniTwQOZ
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkN3HJXAG7
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KL4wnDTbK
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmXcrtXoPI
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5IZUzm4uF
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFYYlsRsv5
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdlKoh5EPt
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkK06HRyR2
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvDRIbXrzz
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.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXociZthho
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4J6HZYdqo
And I think I know how. 52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk02jyKiPW5
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltcJfIEq9T
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. 52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIOqloIjfz
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLmSNRFUoM
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU2ZGHZVN4
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn3xBWLUZ8
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t0WP3DEGe
