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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKcQl2bQvd

There was a moment of silence then I heard footsteps next to me as the guard left with a bow to his majesty. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EzITsdSU5

I peeked through my lashes to already feel his stare. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRhRaMwlmT
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvaq9iVNjW
He stood up with grace as he slowly walked down to the table then near me. He held a hand out to me. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIURsmJGGb
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFma7L6G6at
I looked up with my eyes wide open. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnvu51srmN
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrNiR9qQeT
Does he want me to kiss his hand or hold it? 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnIkc1UkmR
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLmrAPWFUp
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.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDT7GTxSU0
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mt71pc4Lx
He held my hand securely and brought it up to kiss the back of it. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK5nw9xBLw

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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIpfQuefOC

I need to get myself together, this is no way to act as one of the leaders of the warriors. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7ETP4lGAw
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvrwHh2AKH
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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7bWkJl7Jr
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcItSVOOymr
My mouth opened wide as I tried to search for words to politely refuse. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7IjMcjNwl
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXHsVHhHmc
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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPTCIws7GB
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgStVCjStZV
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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDsnPoTcId
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE3SEmcKJF
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" 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjJ5d6WcZF
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNccIFuzayC
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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJhMJA7TL8
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKeRLYGLMa
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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM0tHqkJNZ

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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirrHNg4xHq
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkbyanNyCq
Maybe I should start with using his name alone. I mean it's only in my head and no one will hear it. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpgLh1CbO0

Cian. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB4ngCcxkk
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8XbYmZUF0
Why does it sound so majestic even without the king. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VRpwkL9rQ
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPMfn4RaxN
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Evander whisper to me "Am I late?" 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj6Q095HKk
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3SewrVMTx
"No, I'm early" I smiled at him as he looked next to himself and smiled at me. We both heard a throat clearing. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLX8s9wuWs
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29K47SmlEc
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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4PrpLb5Uz
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIzgrhu6W1
And to be honest, he looked quite adorable. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlWY0mNVpP

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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHmcL3ipMw

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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAUMYKKM8s

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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA1xkptg1r
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF9Wdsh8w4
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. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBtt25GOrY
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRjULQh9jv
What a traitor for leaving me alone with Cian. 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8juHDkGAvG

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 190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUYZBwN42e
