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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MjdifYqiH

There was a moment of silence then I heard footsteps next to me as the guard left with a bow to his majesty. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0kx3LsZJi
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSxM3RKngV
I peeked through my lashes to already feel his stare. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fj10Eq3d2
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS0ON5yOYl
He stood up with grace as he slowly walked down to the table then near me. He held a hand out to me. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OkYu6oqSC
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDi2wtn1JX
I looked up with my eyes wide open. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kiZiwGIm3
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSohvh3aDj
Does he want me to kiss his hand or hold it? 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VwNgkjmsY
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GkFO4WL2R
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.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMe6E5ifhd
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdhywgW8eK
He held my hand securely and brought it up to kiss the back of it. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ABWsBJlzg

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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52BP53Iyun

I need to get myself together, this is no way to act as one of the leaders of the warriors. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK67ux12cd2
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgYM1eBI0H
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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fewvndeBc
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpHBBraszq
My mouth opened wide as I tried to search for words to politely refuse. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYzVLOOPNy
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod9uRBi7Pg
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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZHJe10pEh

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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct2bwqltcW
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhmCBB5nr3
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" 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0R3n2DTf0
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUzfijJEP9
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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsXXekGQ9w

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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HjQDaLBQh

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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD6u8S9uho
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc0njaopyL
Maybe I should start with using his name alone. I mean it's only in my head and no one will hear it. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTLMPvjyXJ

Cian. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRLImwJzVb
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXALcXntdOY
Why does it sound so majestic even without the king. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KrLCEVr3j
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8snumTKUoh
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Evander whisper to me "Am I late?" 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpARSMDkWjk
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYfyvSud92
"No, I'm early" I smiled at him as he looked next to himself and smiled at me. We both heard a throat clearing. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKKIJFrq7H
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t3SVJE19n
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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgH4nUcvLV
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7SogZROtD
And to be honest, he looked quite adorable. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEuUIQKcvV

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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLeM5VAvCW

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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcuHfx4Vkm

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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCduuPX5enu
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0g3kAWrsE
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. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPw0jwtILa
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLreY8HCVwV
What a traitor for leaving me alone with Cian. 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXSleBIDC7

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 144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORCtMu48R7
