A week later:214Please respect copyright.PENANAn7Izrb7CRr
214Please respect copyright.PENANAV2lFrUwkhZ
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAgdD4SoSBLG
214Please respect copyright.PENANAELlUXg7afR
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.214Please respect copyright.PENANAIEyXiaWAE2
214Please respect copyright.PENANAiBrL4WB6jK
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANA1cB7U9iQ8m
214Please respect copyright.PENANAXqLrOZP9xT
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAH073xfg8CX
214Please respect copyright.PENANAicZVFWAGCB
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 214Please respect copyright.PENANAkjwslYb9rN
214Please respect copyright.PENANAe0JVN4vpAM
I killed him.214Please respect copyright.PENANAQKoZVYrpp8
214Please respect copyright.PENANADVO2o0tnlR
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAi9VnuyyLvc
214Please respect copyright.PENANAMti2Gijcfe
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.214Please respect copyright.PENANAfYqQMzw9Kk
214Please respect copyright.PENANAUP9fr5YoI3
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAz2D3r1pCLP
214Please respect copyright.PENANA3SxufM5mCa
I looked back at them "W-What?"214Please respect copyright.PENANA14OPWVrOnI
214Please respect copyright.PENANAduPO05EaUc
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.214Please respect copyright.PENANAeh41ieIQEB
214Please respect copyright.PENANAJomiMlSYPc
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.214Please respect copyright.PENANAfIOWhwC1Se
214Please respect copyright.PENANAtMvpzu2eHD
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANA2I6b1LMOUo
214Please respect copyright.PENANA6QbnTehDJ8
Oh come on, that's so adorable.214Please respect copyright.PENANA7dhNdQZrUu
214Please respect copyright.PENANAPeC3ssopS6
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.214Please respect copyright.PENANAOFjvRQiEkl
214Please respect copyright.PENANAeSHYnP6eaC
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.214Please respect copyright.PENANAa1gUi8uGmI
214Please respect copyright.PENANAgzkc7plX6H
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.214Please respect copyright.PENANAE6RQUS7uL9
214Please respect copyright.PENANA4ndaIbQrQH
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.214Please respect copyright.PENANAiftShC7LIp
214Please respect copyright.PENANAsXX5gNpEk9
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.214Please respect copyright.PENANAfWbIDoeWHv
214Please respect copyright.PENANAH6a18RANk5
It wasn't fair,214Please respect copyright.PENANA1Em9cP96Fd
214Please respect copyright.PENANAOpV9JQFKGt
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 214Please respect copyright.PENANAAq4mQhsGmw
214Please respect copyright.PENANAF0noN32gK0
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.214Please respect copyright.PENANAYkx7OML1lm
214Please respect copyright.PENANAGSQFXxhUrW
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.214Please respect copyright.PENANA2t3u0m7esA
214Please respect copyright.PENANAXbNKA5tUQT
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAfkiy93dAuv
214Please respect copyright.PENANAPhyTGfOC8x
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.214Please respect copyright.PENANAdqgsNlL7Io
214Please respect copyright.PENANA1R8sNEIr8z
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.214Please respect copyright.PENANAvFmhMmnwTw
214Please respect copyright.PENANASqWvIZSHif
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAJCKlk7iwH4
214Please respect copyright.PENANATCr9mfZCAh
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANA51OFjH2raL
214Please respect copyright.PENANA7T5huOwTUV
I breathed in frustration.214Please respect copyright.PENANAruMWBApBGw
214Please respect copyright.PENANAav7hpktWeW
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANA2t0McXqBYB
214Please respect copyright.PENANAcK0N2O3a69
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied214Please respect copyright.PENANA8fdJv1Lh5p
214Please respect copyright.PENANAnleHbcPWU6
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"214Please respect copyright.PENANANoBZx7MWSG
214Please respect copyright.PENANAydnuYUFv6N
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANA74KJsApg0B
214Please respect copyright.PENANAV6KDzQsRzg
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.214Please respect copyright.PENANA9F5wLho6cq
214Please respect copyright.PENANAFZNg9R2irN
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.214Please respect copyright.PENANAQrqyLSCk8f
214Please respect copyright.PENANAb2KvMMu5s0
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.214Please respect copyright.PENANAW9fhBwERvD
214Please respect copyright.PENANA49TyNk4lJs
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.214Please respect copyright.PENANAMHIxzfrC2T
214Please respect copyright.PENANALayYz8bPtv
"Signy this happens when we are training-"214Please respect copyright.PENANAtP7FE82JaY
214Please respect copyright.PENANANKY5oMDWXf
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.214Please respect copyright.PENANA2F6B2YvFHc
214Please respect copyright.PENANA3QVpu2QOu7
It was adorable.214Please respect copyright.PENANA50bWWLd9oc
214Please respect copyright.PENANAinjuegWxRw
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.214Please respect copyright.PENANAA9HoIPLBAx
214Please respect copyright.PENANA0PrXtV3Jvh
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.214Please respect copyright.PENANA3XideqrTjv
214Please respect copyright.PENANAY4mTmWtdiD
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAJc8qiLnhTH
214Please respect copyright.PENANAWCZA4TG4Eq
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.214Please respect copyright.PENANALYJQcp2WCd
214Please respect copyright.PENANALxELnWVZnZ
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANABtxcBzxTHW
214Please respect copyright.PENANArjGebOQ1ep
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.214Please respect copyright.PENANAXqDoSWwrWX
214Please respect copyright.PENANAiqVb559yFN
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"214Please respect copyright.PENANA6cmNlk5clB
214Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ33RyTXfy
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAYEe6aMpTv9
214Please respect copyright.PENANAYpgsBe6cUZ
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.214Please respect copyright.PENANAp2EfLrxhko
214Please respect copyright.PENANAFIj2eW8bb2
And I think I know how. 214Please respect copyright.PENANAbpdFbIKQdZ
214Please respect copyright.PENANARTNBwYECNa
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. 214Please respect copyright.PENANAoJbiqTc6C4
214Please respect copyright.PENANA3vnIPMO0eo
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.214Please respect copyright.PENANAz2LS8yDurX
214Please respect copyright.PENANAtIxzt9O1Us
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.214Please respect copyright.PENANAaoIFCiLggT
