A week later:182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSpc41P5Ao
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ey4Mzs3Rr
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ1YlxVfkJ
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxqATJ3omS
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R4tfw5q0u
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqMtsAeOU2
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW6i730y9K
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAvtx0ebq1
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEocCE2dUG
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u24AyFyyw
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mZC1xIBkz
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNS4rhIwZf
I killed him.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI6L7v7wxy
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSJEbHaHet
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaggMPCt54n
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYrYHgF3QM
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrjNOLFK6P
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBsuSZI5De
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODMA1qT8xc
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs8H0Kbtcm
I looked back at them "W-What?"182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSJVCgTseW
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja43WoLhlD
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUhvDzLrGf
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbtO3wjXjX
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDSgEnWZul
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgom6Ltsx0
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4r2DIYvyn
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuvMCZ5xff
Oh come on, that's so adorable.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOahi7ESQs
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZndRyFEB7
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsjo2abTwW
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyDJ43RgxJ
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JkOKy5EmQ
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl4GtxFOPA
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0egRKD4sVw
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy7EdDFigu
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlo0vDyqeK
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86dy2GYemd
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT1qBznIzp
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBkSGTcVLR
It wasn't fair,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U2HuICFqo
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKljGM7jZg
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGqhG7jShB
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tyke6HVeg
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHkFrIR3aH
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrg0L8AtqW
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s5TYYlJWI
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwynxPezJG
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY5zpr5ImJ
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqiofQiRgd
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueQUUNnldl
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6etAf9Tklr
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPFWzpBEow
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmwmpLScsa
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh9lT2OjZd
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlDx6CeTvM
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o4bL3nwLE
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuQc7e0X1z
I breathed in frustration.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIoWZIPnaS
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KjJ6ixSgU
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CFUKEZbYH
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQv7kDgeKs
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H8jtFvssu
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUWgzp0y3M
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHtKDn8MBR
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDSSBrhXCo
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVxbTLsi7d
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRprxImMpI
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JCtupT8hS
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3pZqgPUgv
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUm2f6OV1b
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPXcMVstd7
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfbXgbvtUO
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkzKYlw364
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OVB4NCThv
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkajrjOuM0
"Signy this happens when we are training-"182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFZMkzu6YU
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqkvohpisD
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k1ANHTepy
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmknGJXyCp
It was adorable.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSEUHy21XC
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8B19CKui6
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1cLs0e9oK
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9nbm8mDD0
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR7i2mLOCb
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8OHDaW3PQ
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyjEQs1jMn
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJu4FSmdDf
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj3JygycUy
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg8qwLpLU0
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAGLd4JmGa
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49VzjwIoCC
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GbnTfgAtV
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34N63L56qV
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WJQCv33Bm
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jTSkKSlOr
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCqMlvvGCV
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXA7li8R35
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.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ds36E3vDe
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBSbBYRHXR
And I think I know how. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p1WfoVlSD
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYNaADgxmc
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. 182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dOeIcL6Mm
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvW2DENpmo
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XNlAQp4zG
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVzgY2dZBA
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8wISGRiS1
