Fun disturbing fact: the Romans used crushed mouse brains as toothpaste196Please respect copyright.PENANAngxhv5AyxT

A week later:196Please respect copyright.PENANAWh6Rxmb9uT
196Please respect copyright.PENANAN75VtxoNp5
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANALHsmSPAWQh
196Please respect copyright.PENANAs5vCVevg1n
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.196Please respect copyright.PENANAmowSGM3f68
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAQJwNavYh6
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANArVLhy33RTu
196Please respect copyright.PENANAunNBI3gPP7
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAnynv7bSgJn
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGePyNaQYyh
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 196Please respect copyright.PENANAAv8K5m3Qwa
196Please respect copyright.PENANAmvB78CY5HT
I killed him.196Please respect copyright.PENANApcjpkIJIdM
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9kq0Hev22G
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAG94yyHPGbB
196Please respect copyright.PENANAs1Cbtx9JBV
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.196Please respect copyright.PENANAmkoDatpDPa
196Please respect copyright.PENANAmgBhEh8SNm
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANA9Cbkvz2aXD
196Please respect copyright.PENANAZeTuM1Ayg7
I looked back at them "W-What?"196Please respect copyright.PENANA0EsQYZ9JlK
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAARPplLtWs
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.196Please respect copyright.PENANALYA90xNKaD
196Please respect copyright.PENANA4dZUl2QEXl
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.196Please respect copyright.PENANAothX3p9gRL
196Please respect copyright.PENANA0BhsL0iP1a
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANApFQ8Xojme0
196Please respect copyright.PENANAbOCFYHZJg2
Oh come on, that's so adorable.196Please respect copyright.PENANAq5iWviP6xg
196Please respect copyright.PENANAX5kebfeJBq
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.196Please respect copyright.PENANAJYt2eJpL88
196Please respect copyright.PENANAbpB0SrFezz
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.196Please respect copyright.PENANAS6IaOjc1ev
196Please respect copyright.PENANAeGP2FZi70B
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.196Please respect copyright.PENANAQWp3akoqug
196Please respect copyright.PENANAOoWCbmxADq
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.196Please respect copyright.PENANAwaj562kPFp
196Please respect copyright.PENANABgB2fHdhf4
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.196Please respect copyright.PENANAhaOfF4ikax
196Please respect copyright.PENANAwNWFQViPcT
It wasn't fair,196Please respect copyright.PENANAKCaVBYxk3v
196Please respect copyright.PENANAiuZHw0anDq
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 196Please respect copyright.PENANAycpEqnPEyN
196Please respect copyright.PENANAUfaVLtxHgU
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.196Please respect copyright.PENANADfo0bXLC1W
196Please respect copyright.PENANAApHwTof7me
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.196Please respect copyright.PENANAEblbBUpIfI
196Please respect copyright.PENANAshM2Uhklf3
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANA8EcELaC5mk
196Please respect copyright.PENANA2sox8sNf1S
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.196Please respect copyright.PENANAhbTcmgqDpq
196Please respect copyright.PENANAgX3ZJ5IXmA
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.196Please respect copyright.PENANAKAcw9NnPCg
196Please respect copyright.PENANAV3NCN7lSts
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAXPjHFm61LR
196Please respect copyright.PENANAkvRK9ZvRAc
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANA08AlWHx4gd
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9pfYTQCk9V
I breathed in frustration.196Please respect copyright.PENANA62ritU3MCR
196Please respect copyright.PENANA8EcOaFUeKB
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANADViKg6H0mv
196Please respect copyright.PENANA3sLEdy5U3e
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied196Please respect copyright.PENANApDFU3JcH4j
196Please respect copyright.PENANAREburTHXon
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"196Please respect copyright.PENANAJDl08Z4FlD
196Please respect copyright.PENANA1hTSUwUXH4
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAAxOqo3Vvv4
196Please respect copyright.PENANA50VxDVvBYs
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.196Please respect copyright.PENANASLTPkvgx56
196Please respect copyright.PENANAf6iBupzTUG
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.196Please respect copyright.PENANAe3PvodxgXw
196Please respect copyright.PENANADjRb7mYNYG
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.196Please respect copyright.PENANADUgkfEZGA0
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGycryImdMO
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.196Please respect copyright.PENANAHYAyiSMbC8
196Please respect copyright.PENANALrsX0xaPIg
"Signy this happens when we are training-"196Please respect copyright.PENANAhBOpJEC4Cg
196Please respect copyright.PENANA6ciDO9JE6e
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.196Please respect copyright.PENANAiifHr95BPN
196Please respect copyright.PENANAKW5g610ogj
It was adorable.196Please respect copyright.PENANAgSmtzclnSR
196Please respect copyright.PENANA6dGZgShWWG
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.196Please respect copyright.PENANAeaWN7mgsvh
196Please respect copyright.PENANArAKpXH85Vt
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.196Please respect copyright.PENANAQksw6Ag2JP
196Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bnq4HgvE7
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAbfsEIhwr5P
196Please respect copyright.PENANA2HvIBPWZry
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.196Please respect copyright.PENANAnoQTJXA3r2
196Please respect copyright.PENANALkDeShQQkN
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAmSMgvmHSl4
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaJiwsOEaL3
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.196Please respect copyright.PENANANgrh1Ps5lz
196Please respect copyright.PENANAi95qUgZhn2
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"196Please respect copyright.PENANAKhuBnfJ0sd
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGVHJqIONVK
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAExhds7Gbbj
196Please respect copyright.PENANAkYJT2ihZpb
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.196Please respect copyright.PENANAIZSfOCwyaj
196Please respect copyright.PENANArzbgcMaJAf
And I think I know how. 196Please respect copyright.PENANA5Dl2W9cfjP
196Please respect copyright.PENANA75UTOexf7Z
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. 196Please respect copyright.PENANAz7udE3E6NI
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMFMFdTPSvL
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.196Please respect copyright.PENANAE8OybAphYp
196Please respect copyright.PENANA0zRvVySPyX
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.196Please respect copyright.PENANAuZAoQBlH3h
