I slowly opened the door. I couldn't look up because I kept remembering the dream. This was good to begin with because I shouldn't look up in front of king Cian. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJNN4460ZM

There was a moment of silence then I heard footsteps next to me as the guard left with a bow to his majesty. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeReNmnguKV

I peeked through my lashes to already feel his stare. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HX6gWlKvz
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCnoJ78oGt
He stood up with grace as he slowly walked down to the table then near me. He held a hand out to me. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaJysOggp6
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLm26Z2r0F
I looked up with my eyes wide open. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHQW62xtIo
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsjqcE6i7m
Does he want me to kiss his hand or hold it? 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AfTdscjiW
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb0GhN5s64
I chose to go with the latter to be on the safe side. I looked at his beautifully structured face. His full lips, strong and beautifully structured nose, his long and dark eyelashes that reflected on his brown, beautiful and stormy eyes.189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmhiGy7io3
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA5xdr3cm7
He held my hand securely and brought it up to kiss the back of it. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EvZZ7UaHX

His words made my knees buckle. He made me feel so good with his presence that if he asked me to stab myself with my twin blades, I'd do it. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsGxI2H8Gc

I need to get myself together, this is no way to act as one of the leaders of the warriors. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6ewyK0Yjn
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMJnVf3aEU
I cleared my throat as he looked at me with a hint of amusement and admiration in his brown eyes. He brought me towards the table and pulled the chair next to him for me. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ORAxK8GE
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO1wHYixsL
My mouth opened wide as I tried to search for words to politely refuse. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZhEpjD6Ax
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZXeLU0QpX
This is where his queen should sit, not me. And he hasn't even accepted me publicly yet. No one knows about us being mates and it would look wrong for one of the new leaders to sit next to the king. It was disrespectful without context given. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOQ9irqpao

I was saved by the knock that sounded. A small panic built up inside me as I bowed my head in apology "I'm so sorry you did not need to worry yourself with trivial matters, your majesty" I looked up to see him frown at me as his eyes held sadness in them. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV1ltmwd9L
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjzbKTOaIC
Another knock sounded before he said anything. However, before he let the person behind the doors in he lowly whispered "We are your soulmate, Signy. Please call me as Cian if you are comfortable with it" 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPashzL7lnR
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq5u9hSyNr
My breath hitched and It was caught in my throat as I tried to breathe from how he made me feel. It was crazy to have the king of Asmodemia talk to me like that. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilpk5RXaX7

I had always fought Argo as a child and told him I would marry prince Cian just because he was a prince and I thought I'd become a princess if I had married a prince. It was ironic with the situation I was in. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrwFTFiTfB

After king Cian said come in, Evander made his presence known with his head bowed. He made his way next to me and bowed deeper for king Cian. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUd68230Qm
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWqbszJj7y
Maybe I should start with using his name alone. I mean it's only in my head and no one will hear it. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlKE5eroK9

Cian. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyl6MMH6EA
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWelUGKZM3
Why does it sound so majestic even without the king. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegLPdMtI9x
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtNjZWBXyT
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Evander whisper to me "Am I late?" 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYa5YbwG52
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeck2e1FXKQ
"No, I'm early" I smiled at him as he looked next to himself and smiled at me. We both heard a throat clearing. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUcLnYKuop
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8DTAN352r
We looked up to see... Cian looking at us with his eyebrows creased and his beautiful full lips in a small frown. To Evander, he looked angry, but to me it looked like he was displeased. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbf4FSGXbZ
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9wYFsR6Hp
And to be honest, he looked quite adorable. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjeNJ7dLa5

He announced with authority as he sat at the head of the long table. We were seated on each of his sides. I was seated next to where the queen should have been seated, but he didn't have one yet. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBNeNeoHdU

I looked down at my plate that was provided with a simple breakfast. Cian started telling us the basics of how to recognize poisoning in our food, drinks and utensils. It was a great starter as we were trying to eat. But that was part of the training to begin with. Of course, the food was not poisonous, but after our breakfast, we were provided with samples of poisoned materials, what they consisted of, what they do to the body and the antidotes for each of them. We had brought our handbooks that we have been provided with to keep our journals and notes in during training. I kept note of everything he said because the training here was very strict. I did not want my mate to catch me off guard. I wanted him to know that I work hard for my title. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnitJGNPqse

After breakfast, Cian walked in front of us as we followed him towards our office. According to Cian, he had spent most of his time there to take care of royal duties. So we were to not only protect him, lead warriors but to help him through royal duties as well. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtTsMF6KBy
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBDsEAK6tq
I wasn't complaining, until I found out that he decided I needed more training than Evander after lunch. So, Evander who was happy to be dismissed, left the office with joy in his strides. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAUquMoOaQ
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BXugksa8R
What a traitor for leaving me alone with Cian. 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSilJLunzIM

I quietly tried to do my work. But he was so distracting. I wanted to get up and feel his lips like I did in my dream. I wanted it so badly, but I held back. I was going through some papers, but I looked up almost too quickly when he said 189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIoXrd50lu
