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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo708G2eiP

There was a moment of silence then I heard footsteps next to me as the guard left with a bow to his majesty. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW2GPAkgm6
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkomqOoGPm4
I peeked through my lashes to already feel his stare. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIid5mrLPo
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExK5I5YBsH
He stood up with grace as he slowly walked down to the table then near me. He held a hand out to me. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRc2VCvAby
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg897Q6tTh
I looked up with my eyes wide open. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPzxU3QHbn
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh2oNQ9Gpq
Does he want me to kiss his hand or hold it? 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNK6ZLlHYw
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasyaa5iPrr
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDGwfVJkuG
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXWivc13Bz
He held my hand securely and brought it up to kiss the back of it. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh17h6CXoj

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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH1K9BqLRT

I need to get myself together, this is no way to act as one of the leaders of the warriors. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvz5kBREYL

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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMW2sI6dFO
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdHoFTHK32
My mouth opened wide as I tried to search for words to politely refuse. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmmi6HKNvS
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayh9zz4VzZ
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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS8XGnzV6Q
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKiwNjDBhH
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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVngtZiY9pC
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfnlFQuU1r
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" 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwlqT8sGAA
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6PH0yJpLv
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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYkf00dYcD

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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyAtgK1zlH

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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTFSdK6sRk
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWlDfjKcto
Maybe I should start with using his name alone. I mean it's only in my head and no one will hear it. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv63AE3us1e

Cian. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUseXfNZB9
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZernJXm9L
Why does it sound so majestic even without the king. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqN9SuGIwK
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5wvfgHvVc
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Evander whisper to me "Am I late?" 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkHPnmbr0G
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8ZMaEUqQX
"No, I'm early" I smiled at him as he looked next to himself and smiled at me. We both heard a throat clearing. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6tIR5wW3q
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCsLssHFR1
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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSUgDTeSO9
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj71UHUHv4
And to be honest, he looked quite adorable. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4g7V0n2EA

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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CVEiYggpU

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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbQxUyoY2P

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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ6N7MJ6Y0
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZIRBDFq3b
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. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnenLcmIW0b
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpk17Y7jGn
What a traitor for leaving me alone with Cian. 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiyCmLKw3c

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 251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDda6KoBDk3
