"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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwJBC51D71
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbem7jwRuvt
Suddenly, Evander decided it would be a good idea to link his arms with mine and drag me to his room.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJxc92rds7
"What"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bDIhi8bg4
I looked at him with an eye brow raised and a small smile plastered on my lips.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2cPmkSNr0
"I can smell his highness all over you"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lt5UgNK4M
My mouth opened slightly and closed as I had nothing to say.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG5Ao4vVqX
"I lied, but your reaction tells me something did really happen."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgc8qmFipu
I glared at him, this cheeky little bastard.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16mFhG1jea
Looking at him I thought that it would be okay to let him know about it.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Ec59uLl9
"King Cian is my soulmate"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKfIjjvpps
Surprise painted his face for a few seconds, but he quickly recovered and threw himself at me.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST2e1oO2WI
"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
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTH697KP2A
"so that's why you needed more training"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2WkerGwkD
A nasty smirk appeared on his face.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89wnoYLreC
"We didn't do anything, Evander"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3tQmO4IGD
He nodded in satisfaction of catching me in my vulnerable moment.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraf8KdVckR
"Yes, yes you did. There is no way those swollen lips don't give it away, sister. No way in hell."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrIFrKTc6e
Oh my God. I looked at myself in the mirror.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83YGSOLEPN
Good thing I wasn't wearing a lipstick otherwise this would've looked worse.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPsNlV95FA
I saw Evander smiling warmly at me from the reflection. I turned around and smiled back at him.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94p8TjUVrC
He really was like a younger brother.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFgQPj9Xvl
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwQ2uAFCL9
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FhPFcYeVZ
I wouldn't mind him coming into my room and watch me sleep though.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElXygwislQ
Don't get these crazy ideas you idiot.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4HI5zCiDc
I grunted at my stupid thoughts.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE1KZvTZlp
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzuLnZmon2
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDDuCiaX5P
Of course, the clothes had to be appropriate. You can't go in wearing a bikini after all.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefyzar2es4
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxijHNBwVN7
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldvUyVHhZQ
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSCF2wKsXB
At least the devil has a reason for turning evil I guess. But what was my father's reasoning.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfsdm9U5cC
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSAW2qUcxR
I didn't even bother with makeup. The thought had crossed my mind, but I felt uncomfortable wearing makeup outside of my room.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAZqgZZ44S
Looking back at my room one last time, I closed the door and made my way to dinner.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YqCFjwQcQ
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Xj7UisKQ
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvoVcGaOXO
"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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfyna3X2IG
Right now, his arms were crossed. And that was not a good sign.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH6ulmAtHp
"What is your relationship with Signy" he demanded with a flat tone looking down at Evander.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0sFI1QRMW
It took Evander a while to process what he was asking.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOJ5hc4aNn
"She is my partner in leading your warriors, your majesty"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6OgmahUb6
Cian sniffed slightly as he got closer, his eyes flashed more yellow than usual.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5rAeFFPIM
"Then why do I smell her all over you, Evander"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix90LjSxeI
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.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbbjPfvk3k
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."
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUxcC7We3B
His response made me smile. And it seemed to have convinced Cian as his stern expression relaxed into neutral one.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfYBvro7Si
"We understand. It was something on our mind, so we had to inquire from you personally. You can raise your head"
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS9UlS7aZR
Evander tried to hide his huge grin with a small smile. But he just looked like a baby who was about to cry.
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVE5LFfmN3
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.
