"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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx0gfRJgZ9
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DImPJ7S9D
Suddenly, Evander decided it would be a good idea to link his arms with mine and drag me to his room.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWcJDn146U
"What"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ybq4V3mEC
I looked at him with an eye brow raised and a small smile plastered on my lips.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqcnuvdiwI
"I can smell his highness all over you"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ucBZMx6DH
My mouth opened slightly and closed as I had nothing to say.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSRYQXet5z
"I lied, but your reaction tells me something did really happen."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxkanGUG2g
I glared at him, this cheeky little bastard.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs98Vpc84P0
Looking at him I thought that it would be okay to let him know about it.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmfqUfC0oW
"King Cian is my soulmate"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYjv6BmPKr
Surprise painted his face for a few seconds, but he quickly recovered and threw himself at me.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGYPhb9xs0
"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
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHTWCmCkqi
"so that's why you needed more training"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvHbPfyVep
A nasty smirk appeared on his face.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lXcOe5NCA
"We didn't do anything, Evander"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN924pv8a7
He nodded in satisfaction of catching me in my vulnerable moment.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAnENZohbZ
"Yes, yes you did. There is no way those swollen lips don't give it away, sister. No way in hell."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0GfpgE5de
Oh my God. I looked at myself in the mirror.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIPtgCTVhX
Good thing I wasn't wearing a lipstick otherwise this would've looked worse.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FsyUgm8sZ
I saw Evander smiling warmly at me from the reflection. I turned around and smiled back at him.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNu6wGY44w
He really was like a younger brother.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsX6Ho0lCC
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabqQzIVoZy
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0mUTlWpXt
I wouldn't mind him coming into my room and watch me sleep though.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUsDRFGLCo
Don't get these crazy ideas you idiot.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2NXt3fqHj
I grunted at my stupid thoughts.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0iEPgt29P
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDrrRSjbV8
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSbEQBiQra
Of course, the clothes had to be appropriate. You can't go in wearing a bikini after all.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLN2n9wFme
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1UFPtoTYl
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldM3mCWpqc
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU8tJJNX4N
At least the devil has a reason for turning evil I guess. But what was my father's reasoning.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV6cvU7wo6
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPhEYQ7xo9
I didn't even bother with makeup. The thought had crossed my mind, but I felt uncomfortable wearing makeup outside of my room.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZSkMJ38Xd
Looking back at my room one last time, I closed the door and made my way to dinner.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxiVLY0obq
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyHEfUOzqw
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA00t2mK4s
"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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JzR65qs0V
Right now, his arms were crossed. And that was not a good sign.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLtC4zMY4E
"What is your relationship with Signy" he demanded with a flat tone looking down at Evander.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPGtI48c7R
It took Evander a while to process what he was asking.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdxKkruYED
"She is my partner in leading your warriors, your majesty"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDPq0AuU17
Cian sniffed slightly as he got closer, his eyes flashed more yellow than usual.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12n3NmLNsR
"Then why do I smell her all over you, Evander"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFnql4fDwE
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.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVvWdqA2Gh
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."
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyqNXKLwAf
His response made me smile. And it seemed to have convinced Cian as his stern expression relaxed into neutral one.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFYcnEiupc
"We understand. It was something on our mind, so we had to inquire from you personally. You can raise your head"
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXGRPDqiTr
Evander tried to hide his huge grin with a small smile. But he just looked like a baby who was about to cry.
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jw2sm6kfF
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.
