"And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched."
- Mark 9:43

After his little speech that had swooned me, we had decided that it is enough for today. My training had consisted of taking care of paperwork. A few heads ups about where I should start going after my trainings and such. I will also have to start overseeing the warrior's trainings, my presence in meetings of the kings and queens, some etiquettes of being a warrior leader. It was pretty much the same for both me and Evander. But Cian had told me that he 'deceived' the guards and Evander that I had needed more training which made me pout without meaning to. At the time, It seemed to have stirred something in him so I had to quickly compose myself.

Before we start making out on the meeting table.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qUs7DG2al
I shook my head while I was on my way to my room. I didn't have anything to do until dinner other than going over my training today.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeA6qPViZ4
Suddenly, Evander decided it would be a good idea to link his arms with mine and drag me to his room.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE9YcrAGfn
"What"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW4eJGxYtx
I looked at him with an eye brow raised and a small smile plastered on my lips.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLtTqcKmJL
"I can smell his highness all over you"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MLJZXAc3P
My mouth opened slightly and closed as I had nothing to say.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAMRCgzgK1
"I lied, but your reaction tells me something did really happen."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6isiA7Fuf
I glared at him, this cheeky little bastard.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTobAjXYb6g
Looking at him I thought that it would be okay to let him know about it.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgChohfKoc
"King Cian is my soulmate"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgnF8qhm33
Surprise painted his face for a few seconds, but he quickly recovered and threw himself at me.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnsJ1In7ch
"I'm so happy for you. It's not everyday you'd have royalty as your soulmate" I pushed him away with an eye roll
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdDoGHe3Ff
"so that's why you needed more training"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3Jg2Im2xu
A nasty smirk appeared on his face.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW1R91I90m
"We didn't do anything, Evander"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rckWV5aVn
He nodded in satisfaction of catching me in my vulnerable moment.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P8xhoDqdi
"Yes, yes you did. There is no way those swollen lips don't give it away, sister. No way in hell."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU45QMDAzBs
Oh my God. I looked at myself in the mirror.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjhFAlWGJ7
Good thing I wasn't wearing a lipstick otherwise this would've looked worse.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckGrVVrWhD
I saw Evander smiling warmly at me from the reflection. I turned around and smiled back at him.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNekXd8wr4
He really was like a younger brother.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbf3CuLmCF
After I had bid my farewell to Evander and telling him that he should not tell anyone, with him wiggling his eyebrows at me in an evil manner, I left the room to go to my own.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FXmTTyowJ
I used my identification card on the door to open it. The only other person that could open the door was the king himself, which I doubt he would even do that. He was too much of a gentleman.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBPRzaDWvv
I wouldn't mind him coming into my room and watch me sleep though.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03HZc27FsI
Don't get these crazy ideas you idiot.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ44UGEhZD
I grunted at my stupid thoughts.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvVHKlvRvL
Can you act normal around the person you've liked? Or even think normal of him? What you just said is stupidly creepy you big creep.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbkr24mD1V
After my inner fight, I stripped off my clothes and went into the shower. I had a few hours left till dinner. So I had decided to wear a pretty dress. We were allowed to wear what we had wanted around the king. Other than the uniforms, for dinners it was our choice. I didn't know that had existed.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7rP9awXKH
Of course, the clothes had to be appropriate. You can't go in wearing a bikini after all.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFU7z2WWgh
After my shower, I let down my curls to dry. If I had one thing to be proud of on my body it's my hair. I found it really pretty.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn5LG5VOZB
I picked out a knee length dress that flowed down from my waist and the top hugged my body. I made sure to wear a cropped sweater over it with long sleeves.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbIMwD7Gs9
I didn't want to show my arms. The scars have always been there. The scars I inflicted on myself and the devil inflicted on me. He was worse than the devil.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LG6e89WAr
At least the devil has a reason for turning evil I guess. But what was my father's reasoning.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84SNHjIHP1
The thigh length socks that I wore were nicely shaping my legs. I wore a one inch heel as my shoes. I liked heels but I could not walk in them for the life of me. I respect anyone that could.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc1zj8kPPz
I didn't even bother with makeup. The thought had crossed my mind, but I felt uncomfortable wearing makeup outside of my room.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsSh1z0X6O
Looking back at my room one last time, I closed the door and made my way to dinner.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHNYY54vVq
I was making my way when I saw Evander talking to Cian. For some reason it felt like I was envaiding their privacy, so I hid myself.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWRzLzPUrW
I am definitely envaiding their privacy more like this. I decided to reluctantly make my way before I stood still at the next words I heard.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoHIbGDNQN
"Your highness, how can I be of help?" Evander bowed in respect to Cian. Normally, Cian had his hands behind him or leaning against something or in his pockets.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcORkeyn5cM
Right now, his arms were crossed. And that was not a good sign.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZu8ODBKo7
"What is your relationship with Signy" he demanded with a flat tone looking down at Evander.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl1CaWR6qq
It took Evander a while to process what he was asking.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFnvc3WGgd
"She is my partner in leading your warriors, your majesty"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5dHLMjDRO
Cian sniffed slightly as he got closer, his eyes flashed more yellow than usual.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwC8uiQGO9
"Then why do I smell her all over you, Evander"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgEw1IBQSc
He looked like a mouse cornered by a cat. The sight was adorable to behold, but if I didn't step in, he would be executed on spot.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHo8cDNQ9b
Before I reached them Evander said "Your excellence, outside of work, I see her as my older sister and nothing more" he bowed with respect "I would not dream of anything more with Signy. I have my own mate somewhere in the world waiting for me."
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeetVgtctO1
His response made me smile. And it seemed to have convinced Cian as his stern expression relaxed into neutral one.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgpvcHODnr
"We understand. It was something on our mind, so we had to inquire from you personally. You can raise your head"
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5dD3xmnEt
Evander tried to hide his huge grin with a small smile. But he just looked like a baby who was about to cry.
117Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMeiuRWUgU
I made my way towards them and greeted them with a bow. We then proceeded to go in. I didn't fail to notice that Cian was sneakily brushing his fingers against my own as I walked next to him. He wanted it to be known that we were mates. And so did I.
