A week later:201Please respect copyright.PENANAPH1KRNNn0h
201Please respect copyright.PENANAvkYb1BZ7Dm
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAcK2nr8ihTm
201Please respect copyright.PENANAxVblF9GFA6
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.201Please respect copyright.PENANA61A2bZQAnj
201Please respect copyright.PENANAWkGp1afEJD
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANA9XgiPmtKIU
201Please respect copyright.PENANAaYTqA2aZz7
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANA7VDZ8iYn4j
201Please respect copyright.PENANARhTa4TSMJV
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 201Please respect copyright.PENANAdsJPSYuTMY
201Please respect copyright.PENANANBitpLJPyx
I killed him.201Please respect copyright.PENANAYfg0nNV9Kr
201Please respect copyright.PENANAKA77rtGIZW
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAPHDKsTcc7e
201Please respect copyright.PENANAvSDm1xASE7
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.201Please respect copyright.PENANAulzpF3gLmQ
201Please respect copyright.PENANA2ouPEdL5E1
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAnwMQ3azlnp
201Please respect copyright.PENANAPZku0BUifV
I looked back at them "W-What?"201Please respect copyright.PENANAvf3oVzWWRk
201Please respect copyright.PENANANmDLYPv0uv
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.201Please respect copyright.PENANADMSS5cnMUc
201Please respect copyright.PENANAlWrd1kdHqu
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.201Please respect copyright.PENANABMgiGPeL7W
201Please respect copyright.PENANA2jb6nH9tnF
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAeMZUFSFoqJ
201Please respect copyright.PENANAwf9JYO2LQG
Oh come on, that's so adorable.201Please respect copyright.PENANAy8Fe6bPAfj
201Please respect copyright.PENANAk5JrrBS93U
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.201Please respect copyright.PENANAtW2tTc6y0V
201Please respect copyright.PENANAmRToClOAKM
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.201Please respect copyright.PENANAAUg7dQVY5j
201Please respect copyright.PENANA7DKRm5gOyE
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.201Please respect copyright.PENANAYUrDixwFKe
201Please respect copyright.PENANAKvBWk3aHxh
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.201Please respect copyright.PENANAPCgGpFMwTH
201Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wj8uu0INh
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.201Please respect copyright.PENANArV1UBZ82Bo
201Please respect copyright.PENANABplxyNFz9W
It wasn't fair,201Please respect copyright.PENANAIuNsZKn8tW
201Please respect copyright.PENANAr2prJd1dkL
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 201Please respect copyright.PENANAHFLA7gB0yn
201Please respect copyright.PENANAX7faJqKTvf
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.201Please respect copyright.PENANAizlpTKn1z1
201Please respect copyright.PENANADlY6PA0M9V
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.201Please respect copyright.PENANAOQOkKZu8Jx
201Please respect copyright.PENANAHst4H3KvsN
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAIJQtjZ3QlB
201Please respect copyright.PENANAQc6yRgA6Cw
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.201Please respect copyright.PENANAf2vNtRz67d
201Please respect copyright.PENANAUDdv53jxba
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.201Please respect copyright.PENANA685E1LfMHK
201Please respect copyright.PENANAxj12Xte4lz
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANA1qDCO4zOFI
201Please respect copyright.PENANApHZw9gOdzZ
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAfNnx8NkRYH
201Please respect copyright.PENANA5akLx2oSkC
I breathed in frustration.201Please respect copyright.PENANA8ceh3JDE5R
201Please respect copyright.PENANAdiT0tJfOX0
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAGMIi3U21Rk
201Please respect copyright.PENANAY79Q3YqiL9
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied201Please respect copyright.PENANA3ObYAMhio2
201Please respect copyright.PENANAzgbmKv6ju0
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"201Please respect copyright.PENANAMxDk3g0vHI
201Please respect copyright.PENANALDwk7Hmm2G
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANA7mIJaCZPVc
201Please respect copyright.PENANAdz5uLVFSAl
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.201Please respect copyright.PENANAKcsBG8GDUR
201Please respect copyright.PENANAwiG7qc7pqR
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.201Please respect copyright.PENANAbbPXvnICJj
201Please respect copyright.PENANAkllATDUFuh
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.201Please respect copyright.PENANAH3s5bbMWn6
201Please respect copyright.PENANA51vnjjhhgy
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.201Please respect copyright.PENANAmvGMOrMCfc
201Please respect copyright.PENANAAeWJWf87vH
"Signy this happens when we are training-"201Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ti19PthHL
201Please respect copyright.PENANAZTozgyIVT6
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.201Please respect copyright.PENANARN53vUOZyz
201Please respect copyright.PENANAiwPRaPNub4
It was adorable.201Please respect copyright.PENANAE5qRYP5wWJ
201Please respect copyright.PENANAiM97H2UGiF
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.201Please respect copyright.PENANAJMJJBEPIBj
201Please respect copyright.PENANAXyy031NXpw
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.201Please respect copyright.PENANAqcfMDRS7Ou
201Please respect copyright.PENANACXw3bImj3W
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAk05KwNWHgg
201Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ou8E0DbIO
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.201Please respect copyright.PENANAOORPr4Zyyj
201Please respect copyright.PENANAk1bqmQkpDT
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAnF9SEcxNOR
201Please respect copyright.PENANAxvO8pEYOfM
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.201Please respect copyright.PENANAu2II39v9Vs
201Please respect copyright.PENANA5Nx6a9oEU8
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"201Please respect copyright.PENANAbYK3l7oNgn
201Please respect copyright.PENANAe23464OiDq
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAyL4cuMekoA
201Please respect copyright.PENANAtM2DC7gsIA
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANA01sMXsRM7p
201Please respect copyright.PENANAU7owN0XFYt
And I think I know how. 201Please respect copyright.PENANATKMyeANFSn
201Please respect copyright.PENANAWQJV7hruqI
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. 201Please respect copyright.PENANA0GxMlHX397
201Please respect copyright.PENANA6eh1h0GZ3O
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.201Please respect copyright.PENANAGeiRYkb55I
201Please respect copyright.PENANAbvkiFRoIXq
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.201Please respect copyright.PENANA5lD9mVbcCi
