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
