A week later:173Please respect copyright.PENANA3D35SCLM6j
173Please respect copyright.PENANAY2wIjMhOUy
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANA2yLPUTv6oH
173Please respect copyright.PENANAYD44WMuxKo
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.173Please respect copyright.PENANAFgN5Z4duK6
173Please respect copyright.PENANABeq7Q5ulEh
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANA3MOVSMScDE
173Please respect copyright.PENANAp4UgIgZ1El
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANA2BQYeIPj8c
173Please respect copyright.PENANASmdJrLEaup
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 173Please respect copyright.PENANA0kh0aw3dQb
173Please respect copyright.PENANAuuB9jIFbsG
I killed him.173Please respect copyright.PENANA2tgoZA757U
173Please respect copyright.PENANAdAmx876sKY
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANAURXxyMAGDv
173Please respect copyright.PENANA94N9uwM0BY
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.173Please respect copyright.PENANAi9gUd48tUc
173Please respect copyright.PENANAN2at1fLLGX
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANANVC2dY6MIl
173Please respect copyright.PENANA2GFSmxMiyN
I looked back at them "W-What?"173Please respect copyright.PENANAQlbzGdmqbv
173Please respect copyright.PENANAXMmTPXcxai
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.173Please respect copyright.PENANA7NE0TjiaK1
173Please respect copyright.PENANANVBqHBBM0L
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.173Please respect copyright.PENANAwzN82SpYC4
173Please respect copyright.PENANAuTBOkBHAH3
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANAdypGl16nB6
173Please respect copyright.PENANAiDBKZeyUfE
Oh come on, that's so adorable.173Please respect copyright.PENANARvzUi3bTkE
173Please respect copyright.PENANA52iSeCarfQ
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.173Please respect copyright.PENANA4dlUmk0Ipg
173Please respect copyright.PENANA5AkD3r16CW
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.173Please respect copyright.PENANA6t0sC9vC0M
173Please respect copyright.PENANAR9OkyhR9U5
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.173Please respect copyright.PENANAzf7Qzly00m
173Please respect copyright.PENANAWxvrxIyRph
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.173Please respect copyright.PENANAIlgKkFWT2x
173Please respect copyright.PENANALHwjqwxWzH
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.173Please respect copyright.PENANA47dwy5IBOE
173Please respect copyright.PENANAYXhBBD6VGL
It wasn't fair,173Please respect copyright.PENANAZg1h8naQ6T
173Please respect copyright.PENANAsOJUVa5aUu
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 173Please respect copyright.PENANAtQYbT6Qm5I
173Please respect copyright.PENANAUDXd8M4tuE
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.173Please respect copyright.PENANAC5rVqiZmhS
173Please respect copyright.PENANAMlka5MXQuF
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.173Please respect copyright.PENANAKgyjk3GY0I
173Please respect copyright.PENANArFJuMPNRb6
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANAN0J0CZntnd
173Please respect copyright.PENANAfbRtgOTCGO
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.173Please respect copyright.PENANAAd8a79gy2I
173Please respect copyright.PENANA81zJrGtePt
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.173Please respect copyright.PENANAIckvizvrBx
173Please respect copyright.PENANAxWqez4yf2p
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANAGqyX2YBhpe
173Please respect copyright.PENANA9zsNwj7mgw
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANAUYPjowr40R
173Please respect copyright.PENANAYOtgDEjgAU
I breathed in frustration.173Please respect copyright.PENANAcKv3t03Rum
173Please respect copyright.PENANAaPzqZL1sa9
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANAqBZyN5I4fW
173Please respect copyright.PENANARCwCl8n9fp
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied173Please respect copyright.PENANAsEjc2GiyS0
173Please respect copyright.PENANAzi2oIaK48u
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"173Please respect copyright.PENANAZDrQCIztgr
173Please respect copyright.PENANA7p1u1uovbU
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANAwh3bRMDpfF
173Please respect copyright.PENANANc9Y21Fw3c
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.173Please respect copyright.PENANAtXktm2zlXf
173Please respect copyright.PENANAUCkbxuGfnF
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.173Please respect copyright.PENANAlKCAnk4ZnO
173Please respect copyright.PENANASQQiuxXu53
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.173Please respect copyright.PENANAn9Dh9aYRuQ
173Please respect copyright.PENANAeIMx3BaMqk
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.173Please respect copyright.PENANAspcI8Hcb6t
173Please respect copyright.PENANAH5AuePCKvi
"Signy this happens when we are training-"173Please respect copyright.PENANAoucMWhiFi9
173Please respect copyright.PENANA96ODJG0Dfk
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.173Please respect copyright.PENANAQOquoZLB7E
173Please respect copyright.PENANAjtQPvedpva
It was adorable.173Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q3XeUXZDr
173Please respect copyright.PENANALjFvlzrUYW
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.173Please respect copyright.PENANAoEK10KxWun
173Please respect copyright.PENANAx4DVFq67oO
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.173Please respect copyright.PENANARNiyErnH5Y
173Please respect copyright.PENANAmRmxYWzNDg
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pw5eoQWxN
173Please respect copyright.PENANAbOWKltanzc
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.173Please respect copyright.PENANAZMNlKP8WQX
173Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6UpBPDriD
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANAOqTvfhNHMg
173Please respect copyright.PENANA2c5PxGWy1W
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.173Please respect copyright.PENANANoWc3J2MNq
173Please respect copyright.PENANACCi1rvn4TJ
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"173Please respect copyright.PENANAfE1JUViIqE
173Please respect copyright.PENANA48nR61QCmv
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANAhCJux1kPmt
173Please respect copyright.PENANAu4LiNDfB75
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.173Please respect copyright.PENANAOfb7F8pGzs
173Please respect copyright.PENANAyEomXJfr4v
And I think I know how. 173Please respect copyright.PENANA6iM5lefkTK
173Please respect copyright.PENANAPitwBQQ2DX
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. 173Please respect copyright.PENANA8irvbMHhuz
173Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ0b2rG4OD
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.173Please respect copyright.PENANA3mNnkRfmoM
173Please respect copyright.PENANA4OH2UzGm4E
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.173Please respect copyright.PENANAdE58GV58bB
