A week later:205Please respect copyright.PENANACQYFTt7Ia8
205Please respect copyright.PENANAcXYJG5k1fu
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANA3usUdDqNgo
205Please respect copyright.PENANAFCsOg664pu
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.205Please respect copyright.PENANAp8s7QNYBxh
205Please respect copyright.PENANA9FOi0CTWiH
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANABVtGJg0ObX
205Please respect copyright.PENANAd5qLd2JSzk
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAzqS55FNKeP
205Please respect copyright.PENANAv2cLzIVCUv
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 205Please respect copyright.PENANAvUh73LBWko
205Please respect copyright.PENANAnkqEUbihXC
I killed him.205Please respect copyright.PENANAY8HDbKH3Yk
205Please respect copyright.PENANAgwHyuqYeKS
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAse0eql0ycp
205Please respect copyright.PENANAsxawosDo8b
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.205Please respect copyright.PENANA4jyyW4me8q
205Please respect copyright.PENANA91iSxI5FAm
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAg6AdPPsHn9
205Please respect copyright.PENANAzfLHElms3p
I looked back at them "W-What?"205Please respect copyright.PENANAo3kXZoyJLb
205Please respect copyright.PENANAPb0HPQBTSn
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.205Please respect copyright.PENANAirA4oG9AVU
205Please respect copyright.PENANAwllzT04uwM
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.205Please respect copyright.PENANAtJgudzzZnJ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAfdGajuiF2i
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAMRUSyBKfZU
205Please respect copyright.PENANAdPUgXNm8jx
Oh come on, that's so adorable.205Please respect copyright.PENANAQpEc2cZkJr
205Please respect copyright.PENANADmyJgJaPgp
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.205Please respect copyright.PENANAOH8jdEqaAu
205Please respect copyright.PENANAh8lxvL4Y9j
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.205Please respect copyright.PENANAh0GgBKH0gw
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZzUmIsPJ6i
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.205Please respect copyright.PENANAY8zv1MQowi
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZm6GU5xhSw
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.205Please respect copyright.PENANAlV7ct5SiCL
205Please respect copyright.PENANA9Wd8BUket9
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.205Please respect copyright.PENANAKR8SYj9Tt5
205Please respect copyright.PENANALPx38dFBYs
It wasn't fair,205Please respect copyright.PENANAR4iQf6AkSc
205Please respect copyright.PENANA2WDHmDMGE6
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 205Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6vgjzJv6p
205Please respect copyright.PENANAu3ffeaYXGJ
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.205Please respect copyright.PENANAiYmeeIYWvG
205Please respect copyright.PENANAVIWXbuUzKt
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.205Please respect copyright.PENANArfcmgDnfpf
205Please respect copyright.PENANAePRhPFAK2f
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAvCZ5jjKrVq
205Please respect copyright.PENANAWUJUVPD6B4
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.205Please respect copyright.PENANAdKho4cmHwp
205Please respect copyright.PENANABYBrUo4ITU
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.205Please respect copyright.PENANAkpyJWWy4rd
205Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Eau3ENuT
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAZp3B2OY5NI
205Please respect copyright.PENANATyt6SWPZPJ
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANA7CXRGKLP32
205Please respect copyright.PENANAsAG17H94gO
I breathed in frustration.205Please respect copyright.PENANAXfo5gqKePb
205Please respect copyright.PENANAUlftDugpC7
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAezoCrdejms
205Please respect copyright.PENANACAn0o18DY9
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied205Please respect copyright.PENANAeNRTlocGnB
205Please respect copyright.PENANAfhTOXfoRJM
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"205Please respect copyright.PENANAhSRZWhdMlh
205Please respect copyright.PENANAs6JWWpxJb9
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANATiTq1V2bFF
205Please respect copyright.PENANA5CUOEa2ODJ
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.205Please respect copyright.PENANA0csMbt90Ms
205Please respect copyright.PENANAS9YDNa82jx
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.205Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ewy08KQXJ
205Please respect copyright.PENANAOZWTBTxE3h
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.205Please respect copyright.PENANAb0Uu6exgWI
205Please respect copyright.PENANAo9lhrnM53d
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.205Please respect copyright.PENANAKRobqiVg9k
205Please respect copyright.PENANAjvtdBCLwyj
"Signy this happens when we are training-"205Please respect copyright.PENANArAEm6wRKtI
205Please respect copyright.PENANAsup4kb4HNJ
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.205Please respect copyright.PENANAOt4KL93zpF
205Please respect copyright.PENANAD18bYOkuo2
It was adorable.205Please respect copyright.PENANAVw8Ft5In9t
205Please respect copyright.PENANArlLcZOrBzY
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.205Please respect copyright.PENANAqZJPFZVgZU
205Please respect copyright.PENANAb3u2UAxcEN
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.205Please respect copyright.PENANA80QoZmojwY
205Please respect copyright.PENANAUHaAWfz5th
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAgrY5qlfu6C
205Please respect copyright.PENANAYcuJ2KeXDX
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.205Please respect copyright.PENANAQh06ggw5rT
205Please respect copyright.PENANAq6QCcwwNTD
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAlBU0is2mWM
205Please respect copyright.PENANACQHxCI6xF2
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.205Please respect copyright.PENANAXDOU6emW4D
205Please respect copyright.PENANAZHD0wKKEgM
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"205Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ1NPnHHUz
205Please respect copyright.PENANA5nd5qShoJA
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAP5KivIHqhr
205Please respect copyright.PENANAtq8BpxK4wP
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.205Please respect copyright.PENANAhlZhRLDZaT
205Please respect copyright.PENANAFjlk9BMWbr
And I think I know how. 205Please respect copyright.PENANAKQB0QUGGvW
205Please respect copyright.PENANAFMvMwnxgpW
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. 205Please respect copyright.PENANAWqOjAWVf51
205Please respect copyright.PENANAc7kJcgIWSE
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.205Please respect copyright.PENANADo7gf9PywW
205Please respect copyright.PENANAIYO3xH5UrO
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.205Please respect copyright.PENANALl2hz2I69t
