"And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched."
- Mark 9:43

After his little speech that had swooned me, we had decided that it is enough for today. My training had consisted of taking care of paperwork. A few heads ups about where I should start going after my trainings and such. I will also have to start overseeing the warrior's trainings, my presence in meetings of the kings and queens, some etiquettes of being a warrior leader. It was pretty much the same for both me and Evander. But Cian had told me that he 'deceived' the guards and Evander that I had needed more training which made me pout without meaning to. At the time, It seemed to have stirred something in him so I had to quickly compose myself.

Before we start making out on the meeting table.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSA6kNl3Sv
I shook my head while I was on my way to my room. I didn't have anything to do until dinner other than going over my training today.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzsWnMqQxd
Suddenly, Evander decided it would be a good idea to link his arms with mine and drag me to his room.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCV9nGq8Gd
"What"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS7Ekr7aOb
I looked at him with an eye brow raised and a small smile plastered on my lips.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDXuZZbjDY
"I can smell his highness all over you"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmlCMMWK6x
My mouth opened slightly and closed as I had nothing to say.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcscWwx8wPM
"I lied, but your reaction tells me something did really happen."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1rxZFNJLU
I glared at him, this cheeky little bastard.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapeFXP6d1r
Looking at him I thought that it would be okay to let him know about it.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeZnNvI2As
"King Cian is my soulmate"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DsFjW4O61
Surprise painted his face for a few seconds, but he quickly recovered and threw himself at me.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfQppeofiJ
"I'm so happy for you. It's not everyday you'd have royalty as your soulmate" I pushed him away with an eye roll
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThkxI31d0K
"so that's why you needed more training"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESZ2XEuA5L
A nasty smirk appeared on his face.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCL5Aqc4EH
"We didn't do anything, Evander"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUd9LP20Gp
He nodded in satisfaction of catching me in my vulnerable moment.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylGMcXqYS0
"Yes, yes you did. There is no way those swollen lips don't give it away, sister. No way in hell."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7VQDt6fYc
Oh my God. I looked at myself in the mirror.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafdQ4N8qPv
Good thing I wasn't wearing a lipstick otherwise this would've looked worse.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ737l5YBXtD
I saw Evander smiling warmly at me from the reflection. I turned around and smiled back at him.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiURVtCDGZ
He really was like a younger brother.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINZ8uItrsu
After I had bid my farewell to Evander and telling him that he should not tell anyone, with him wiggling his eyebrows at me in an evil manner, I left the room to go to my own.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRp3eDH92B
I used my identification card on the door to open it. The only other person that could open the door was the king himself, which I doubt he would even do that. He was too much of a gentleman.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUysZfLZPnp
I wouldn't mind him coming into my room and watch me sleep though.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9cPzB21i2
Don't get these crazy ideas you idiot.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV3iJxl3qC
I grunted at my stupid thoughts.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TIMxM6NtD
Can you act normal around the person you've liked? Or even think normal of him? What you just said is stupidly creepy you big creep.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaeziWawcJ
After my inner fight, I stripped off my clothes and went into the shower. I had a few hours left till dinner. So I had decided to wear a pretty dress. We were allowed to wear what we had wanted around the king. Other than the uniforms, for dinners it was our choice. I didn't know that had existed.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqniTlKX3T
Of course, the clothes had to be appropriate. You can't go in wearing a bikini after all.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJSIgU6cJW
After my shower, I let down my curls to dry. If I had one thing to be proud of on my body it's my hair. I found it really pretty.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xw7eC5ok3
I picked out a knee length dress that flowed down from my waist and the top hugged my body. I made sure to wear a cropped sweater over it with long sleeves.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyavodNm0Qg
I didn't want to show my arms. The scars have always been there. The scars I inflicted on myself and the devil inflicted on me. He was worse than the devil.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo7uHpq9ev
At least the devil has a reason for turning evil I guess. But what was my father's reasoning.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCFV24w52w
The thigh length socks that I wore were nicely shaping my legs. I wore a one inch heel as my shoes. I liked heels but I could not walk in them for the life of me. I respect anyone that could.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwtTrnKoHm
I didn't even bother with makeup. The thought had crossed my mind, but I felt uncomfortable wearing makeup outside of my room.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lJkLaO1Pt
Looking back at my room one last time, I closed the door and made my way to dinner.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpLuUFJft2
I was making my way when I saw Evander talking to Cian. For some reason it felt like I was envaiding their privacy, so I hid myself.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHaKsZSrPD
I am definitely envaiding their privacy more like this. I decided to reluctantly make my way before I stood still at the next words I heard.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP0IkLE0jx
"Your highness, how can I be of help?" Evander bowed in respect to Cian. Normally, Cian had his hands behind him or leaning against something or in his pockets.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqZuAHRK9X
Right now, his arms were crossed. And that was not a good sign.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sYQifCWFw
"What is your relationship with Signy" he demanded with a flat tone looking down at Evander.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHonYEZwCK
It took Evander a while to process what he was asking.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNGQ90UZcp
"She is my partner in leading your warriors, your majesty"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa71uvSpb7
Cian sniffed slightly as he got closer, his eyes flashed more yellow than usual.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71K3jbAEx4
"Then why do I smell her all over you, Evander"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGzTxedk80
He looked like a mouse cornered by a cat. The sight was adorable to behold, but if I didn't step in, he would be executed on spot.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmuN3SogC8
Before I reached them Evander said "Your excellence, outside of work, I see her as my older sister and nothing more" he bowed with respect "I would not dream of anything more with Signy. I have my own mate somewhere in the world waiting for me."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jeqCigZxr
His response made me smile. And it seemed to have convinced Cian as his stern expression relaxed into neutral one.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXkp31zguv
"We understand. It was something on our mind, so we had to inquire from you personally. You can raise your head"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCxY2wsoJ1
Evander tried to hide his huge grin with a small smile. But he just looked like a baby who was about to cry.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WK5eSqQwd
I made my way towards them and greeted them with a bow. We then proceeded to go in. I didn't fail to notice that Cian was sneakily brushing his fingers against my own as I walked next to him. He wanted it to be known that we were mates. And so did I.
