A week later:154Please respect copyright.PENANASqHUnOucnJ
154Please respect copyright.PENANAcZz2fvNT9o
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANAsKqjfPsSAL
154Please respect copyright.PENANAJr2bvkT5MD
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.154Please respect copyright.PENANA65G3jVOdu6
154Please respect copyright.PENANAUwy0InOGXC
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANA93lX82sRqZ
154Please respect copyright.PENANAnd7qLNS6cR
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANAlbs4U6lNnF
154Please respect copyright.PENANAvzA5xNm47V
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 154Please respect copyright.PENANAfb4hSKvgiD
154Please respect copyright.PENANAuYJWvSnVfw
I killed him.154Please respect copyright.PENANA6EoS4fG9gI
154Please respect copyright.PENANASIFYIldWGP
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANAGvt0SoH9oQ
154Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ8rJKTKrK
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.154Please respect copyright.PENANAshGH7Mem47
154Please respect copyright.PENANAa8HQ6Bf2aB
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANAMkrn6i7p9f
154Please respect copyright.PENANAJOlFbIGQZD
I looked back at them "W-What?"154Please respect copyright.PENANAiwyCINoi9c
154Please respect copyright.PENANAVWtR3el0aB
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.154Please respect copyright.PENANAbNecvZBnXJ
154Please respect copyright.PENANAkg2koe3gwm
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.154Please respect copyright.PENANANMpzv2OFnM
154Please respect copyright.PENANAa2rRXx5uUE
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANAUQwEwGW3ni
154Please respect copyright.PENANAHY41L0EJbr
Oh come on, that's so adorable.154Please respect copyright.PENANAH50BYGfjXg
154Please respect copyright.PENANA6raXAoRvJF
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.154Please respect copyright.PENANAyPWlT4dKgJ
154Please respect copyright.PENANAePFr4f5qek
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.154Please respect copyright.PENANA7WAE9O3HcC
154Please respect copyright.PENANAfkIHk1U1IO
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.154Please respect copyright.PENANAyg3rb1rvhm
154Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ub0e37ky8
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.154Please respect copyright.PENANAzAq6qUCcuI
154Please respect copyright.PENANAjWyxEV696d
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.154Please respect copyright.PENANA9pL94rCYsy
154Please respect copyright.PENANA1bd4QJx0qd
It wasn't fair,154Please respect copyright.PENANA6J5qSA0RUS
154Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ua03w1KrE
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 154Please respect copyright.PENANAZA27tDj7WH
154Please respect copyright.PENANAXuIkk6Lsqo
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.154Please respect copyright.PENANAg2kNHZlB0d
154Please respect copyright.PENANAS6DOsHAi5j
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.154Please respect copyright.PENANAkl2SdO4PZ0
154Please respect copyright.PENANAj3tUXouABG
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANAuBc9wiYXFP
154Please respect copyright.PENANATBCrUBsHxV
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.154Please respect copyright.PENANAi3Nc3lXu4L
154Please respect copyright.PENANAtlIzAsURRB
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.154Please respect copyright.PENANAv0ztgR8lNj
154Please respect copyright.PENANAm6IlVFlD80
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANAOFakQf7i4Q
154Please respect copyright.PENANA4RoHodZOOB
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANAgfakUJApJW
154Please respect copyright.PENANAuWEvdcv6HQ
I breathed in frustration.154Please respect copyright.PENANAytb0H7ndkI
154Please respect copyright.PENANACVtReMK2wu
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANAactzhpgfUb
154Please respect copyright.PENANAGUVVlOWD7z
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied154Please respect copyright.PENANANyol0CXS7I
154Please respect copyright.PENANAmxPzHQ56HP
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"154Please respect copyright.PENANA9mQP0K8knm
154Please respect copyright.PENANAAiN1iTKkGD
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANAYTwsmotp6c
154Please respect copyright.PENANAU1hicUL524
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.154Please respect copyright.PENANAfsoIpFkY0z
154Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2Go2gaRc7
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.154Please respect copyright.PENANAoVI3ZKrkUQ
154Please respect copyright.PENANA8LUqTbteOl
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.154Please respect copyright.PENANAnA0o2rTDul
154Please respect copyright.PENANAORUcqP5mPt
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.154Please respect copyright.PENANA5akj4GvHto
154Please respect copyright.PENANAVAYQTFtR1O
"Signy this happens when we are training-"154Please respect copyright.PENANAZoTUDMRXh4
154Please respect copyright.PENANAxgsB2Mcb0J
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.154Please respect copyright.PENANAhihMEGWd7E
154Please respect copyright.PENANAnQealCp0hc
It was adorable.154Please respect copyright.PENANACZpMTWdUMa
154Please respect copyright.PENANANlfLGiAGJ3
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.154Please respect copyright.PENANAxphzYADWXt
154Please respect copyright.PENANAPd58id5G9s
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.154Please respect copyright.PENANA1vbdDtEzAn
154Please respect copyright.PENANAzgSEjxB7HF
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANASVNT4cOVwa
154Please respect copyright.PENANAhVpmfNlqXr
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.154Please respect copyright.PENANA3rALv0WTnj
154Please respect copyright.PENANArEfcLBu1Kj
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANA8XIN1dJb7I
154Please respect copyright.PENANAI3zky1bRSS
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.154Please respect copyright.PENANATqFw6NQ75B
154Please respect copyright.PENANADmJZ773IA2
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"154Please respect copyright.PENANAmw4rUMZcL6
154Please respect copyright.PENANAyyGauEXE5x
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANA9HavLJ6Uax
154Please respect copyright.PENANABtZ9tMfRO0
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.154Please respect copyright.PENANAOICOHcQsUl
154Please respect copyright.PENANADi8sx1bydk
And I think I know how. 154Please respect copyright.PENANAg48qzT1f2m
154Please respect copyright.PENANAMe9FjsTPib
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. 154Please respect copyright.PENANA6yQEFp6q1w
154Please respect copyright.PENANA9C53uH6H5E
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.154Please respect copyright.PENANAvfFeR6wuE7
154Please respect copyright.PENANAbp843VlGwj
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.154Please respect copyright.PENANAX4hfXrW9Bg
