"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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydMF6WASVV
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QAAtms0hS
Suddenly, Evander decided it would be a good idea to link his arms with mine and drag me to his room.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwYni28ofZ
"What"
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa5Rsfncpa
I looked at him with an eye brow raised and a small smile plastered on my lips.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQwiLYAtio
"I can smell his highness all over you"
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuoVtdzPka
My mouth opened slightly and closed as I had nothing to say.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgFxemKmIs
"I lied, but your reaction tells me something did really happen."
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL4ahNSDO5
I glared at him, this cheeky little bastard.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNquEvy7piG
Looking at him I thought that it would be okay to let him know about it.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5RYBoXpST
"King Cian is my soulmate"
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzfOiD0R9p
Surprise painted his face for a few seconds, but he quickly recovered and threw himself at me.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdciodw0r6
"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
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcicOgpBjnO
"so that's why you needed more training"
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbqlpIakX6
A nasty smirk appeared on his face.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhJ9mXb1if
"We didn't do anything, Evander"
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjUeyVkRHn
He nodded in satisfaction of catching me in my vulnerable moment.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCau2jslPp
"Yes, yes you did. There is no way those swollen lips don't give it away, sister. No way in hell."
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBq81Fkioj
Oh my God. I looked at myself in the mirror.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiF8OLtuRr
Good thing I wasn't wearing a lipstick otherwise this would've looked worse.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVbHk7BEvq
I saw Evander smiling warmly at me from the reflection. I turned around and smiled back at him.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQWrvVDCGy
He really was like a younger brother.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuCNA63O5m
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJPUewTZSt
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6R2V7iXF6
I wouldn't mind him coming into my room and watch me sleep though.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEsnyuBKt6
Don't get these crazy ideas you idiot.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjYQudUR6n
I grunted at my stupid thoughts.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZXYdzY44t
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOlCncAJwz
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslPfx76tvd
Of course, the clothes had to be appropriate. You can't go in wearing a bikini after all.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuuH7e4jz3
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfBSh5CTYx
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELviFnyN2D
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiOBKumSSM
At least the devil has a reason for turning evil I guess. But what was my father's reasoning.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIJI1zhgFQ
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrYTYRFl8f
I didn't even bother with makeup. The thought had crossed my mind, but I felt uncomfortable wearing makeup outside of my room.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMXyQ3C0wj
Looking back at my room one last time, I closed the door and made my way to dinner.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJO1J3okzV
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH5Fct2xgX
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnPN0Un7wL
"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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbaM1g1Yo2
Right now, his arms were crossed. And that was not a good sign.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo36HJcaSBK
"What is your relationship with Signy" he demanded with a flat tone looking down at Evander.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRHBO11YUo
It took Evander a while to process what he was asking.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj98HjJ2MLX
"She is my partner in leading your warriors, your majesty"
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfueNtFcQA5
Cian sniffed slightly as he got closer, his eyes flashed more yellow than usual.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvBsV80UnT
"Then why do I smell her all over you, Evander"
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb3pv3usKk
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.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60lNuoXL5b
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."
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS73qjxWIjC
His response made me smile. And it seemed to have convinced Cian as his stern expression relaxed into neutral one.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2h8HMbcMY
"We understand. It was something on our mind, so we had to inquire from you personally. You can raise your head"
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7cHZY76CG
Evander tried to hide his huge grin with a small smile. But he just looked like a baby who was about to cry.
237Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs1yDUGuih
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.
