A week later:153Please respect copyright.PENANA26Y1bxNqaG
153Please respect copyright.PENANAGIChOjszAF
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAPd7NVGGVK9
153Please respect copyright.PENANAyhplbNTqar
Standing in our fighting gears, apparently for our safety, Cian was using a wooden light sword.153Please respect copyright.PENANANWfGqFru5A
153Please respect copyright.PENANAo5yjq4X1Gu
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAm6biTp4ujw
153Please respect copyright.PENANA0NqgusDTGE
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAWx5G1oxkkK
153Please respect copyright.PENANAFo3BtJ7oNb
The kingdom wanted him dead, and so did I. So I did us a favor, 153Please respect copyright.PENANAkoGYQkVi8k
153Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ6t7pAk73
I killed him.153Please respect copyright.PENANAe7TR8HXRYd
153Please respect copyright.PENANAvqW4NR8yFa
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAbgtwuu0trR
153Please respect copyright.PENANA1mt105hsSl
I shook my thoughts away and sneaked a glance at Cian for silent comfort.153Please respect copyright.PENANAcEpv75dRbd
153Please respect copyright.PENANAHngTogLq3a
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAA037TGraVE
153Please respect copyright.PENANAo6WPyPXBpf
I looked back at them "W-What?"153Please respect copyright.PENANAwYhCxndVQs
153Please respect copyright.PENANAljr3tq8tR5
Cian looked at me with concern and Evander was smirking.153Please respect copyright.PENANADV0LZBqixf
153Please respect copyright.PENANAeju3UwCnln
I rolled my eyes at Evander, what a child.153Please respect copyright.PENANAa1sYp9cl2c
153Please respect copyright.PENANADMCT1zkE4J
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAmCO9zWgtzP
153Please respect copyright.PENANAlNksDT1Dmk
Oh come on, that's so adorable.153Please respect copyright.PENANAKuTfwHG9K5
153Please respect copyright.PENANA6zOiMJ2Ne2
Stop before I kiss you in front of the children, Cian.153Please respect copyright.PENANAIHFdyuQgfp
153Please respect copyright.PENANAYoEdhUYQxc
I removed my hand to avoid worse disapprovals.153Please respect copyright.PENANA3iUkOBPzV2
153Please respect copyright.PENANAqIxNgwzH3w
Evander saw the moment as a vulnerable one for Cian. Something in his mischievous eyes clicked as we both lunged at Cian.153Please respect copyright.PENANAeQYzlwvN1i
153Please respect copyright.PENANAthbTdD4yxr
However, Cian recovered. He pushed both of us away earning a small hiss from me. His head snapped to my direction.153Please respect copyright.PENANAIRKy8Wwue0
153Please respect copyright.PENANAtY0UBaKyGY
I knew what I was doing, I was distracting him for Evander and it worked.153Please respect copyright.PENANAiRlqjwUQXk
153Please respect copyright.PENANAmGp4Ezrk8C
It wasn't fair,153Please respect copyright.PENANA5c0OjgeW80
153Please respect copyright.PENANA4psjVBuP4s
But In a war to win, you have to play dirty, 153Please respect copyright.PENANAVz1odgTmBf
153Please respect copyright.PENANArKGpkFu0Pt
Evander lunged at him again without flattering.153Please respect copyright.PENANAUC8FOlGglS
153Please respect copyright.PENANAfQdGWG4MFc
He is a persistent idiot I could already tell.153Please respect copyright.PENANAatYTeRzloI
153Please respect copyright.PENANAJrnOpi0t2I
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAFERkUbrAQo
153Please respect copyright.PENANAEeAaVux66q
Cian once again pushed Evander away without getting a hit in.153Please respect copyright.PENANApqzHSBj1Vt
153Please respect copyright.PENANAbtDHsNagPn
I was now stood next to Evander rethinking our strategy.153Please respect copyright.PENANAdr6fws9zGS
153Please respect copyright.PENANAgTtGWpzAS7
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAECRyI7bngr
153Please respect copyright.PENANAXCSk5Uk9OQ
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANA84D42Hjvt3
153Please respect copyright.PENANARhyjqtCGGf
I breathed in frustration.153Please respect copyright.PENANA3oJ7Gz356x
153Please respect copyright.PENANA0wFnaCaaIM
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAhOyV0hcd5H
153Please respect copyright.PENANAhpOZoKMqH8
"did I do that?" I turned towards Evander and he sarcastically replied153Please respect copyright.PENANAw7gGg3wohB
153Please respect copyright.PENANAzLFqMRJEMQ
"no, Signy. I lost my footing because the floor is uneven, yes you did that but I don't think it was intentional"153Please respect copyright.PENANANOa2kpO8m1
153Please respect copyright.PENANAS0P87EJoKE
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAffhG8JN8wu
153Please respect copyright.PENANAbznUiWV8TC
I struggled against him but his hands only tightened around my wrists.153Please respect copyright.PENANAMCHHg0kw77
153Please respect copyright.PENANAp63RwQg4yW
Well I liked the position we are in, but this isn't the place for that.153Please respect copyright.PENANALM4rYD82Yv
153Please respect copyright.PENANAHxR3EG5LST
I ignored Cian and looked over at Evander. I was worried for the poor fellow.153Please respect copyright.PENANAtAxoCc2ay8
153Please respect copyright.PENANAE6nSnDRRZd
"I'm sorry" I apologized with a scowl on my face and he just shook his head.153Please respect copyright.PENANAEzXLKmAf1H
153Please respect copyright.PENANAgmkK20b9s7
"Signy this happens when we are training-"153Please respect copyright.PENANAIRPzVx4AXe
153Please respect copyright.PENANAcP8Zslu4gT
Before he could finish, Cian cut him off. I could see the jealousy on his face.153Please respect copyright.PENANALk36zUaVP2
153Please respect copyright.PENANAZwE175iLVl
It was adorable.153Please respect copyright.PENANAO7aRaFLYZZ
153Please respect copyright.PENANA4axpEjQj2P
Evander wasn't even offended, he just silently smirked. He knew what effect I had on him.153Please respect copyright.PENANAtPos5u1wNb
153Please respect copyright.PENANAzgmHIJlCLH
I think I'm starting to develop a really confusing serious feeling for Cian and it scared me.153Please respect copyright.PENANAriZXF8tLx9
153Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7rwj9rw8u
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAqpifVqAtHN
153Please respect copyright.PENANAX9q8ISDCtL
I heard shuffling, he was getting closer.153Please respect copyright.PENANAVOYnfPn5fy
153Please respect copyright.PENANAG4NJdzgw6g
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAW606JLKxZM
153Please respect copyright.PENANAQs0UgAqlUS
He turned me around with concern written in his gorgeous eyes. His voice was a bit out of breath as he asked.153Please respect copyright.PENANAaGuj16Qpx4
153Please respect copyright.PENANA5cNOs085wD
"What's going on in that little pretty head of yours, darling"153Please respect copyright.PENANAR6ThM5O1Di
153Please respect copyright.PENANALcDxDUgnnf
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAr0CFPhEgX6
153Please respect copyright.PENANAblK2GE8xAL
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.153Please respect copyright.PENANAU7blZ5o5FR
153Please respect copyright.PENANAfKxlsW6mAD
And I think I know how. 153Please respect copyright.PENANA9m7a0Eivox
153Please respect copyright.PENANAYcXDkZRnsv
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. 153Please respect copyright.PENANAyXe82Blrkj
153Please respect copyright.PENANAF07XqxuktG
I mean that's held by the king himself, he could easily throw me in jail, or easily forgive me.153Please respect copyright.PENANALbMrRCCZ5Z
153Please respect copyright.PENANAuJK39g1XeX
I just don't know if I could forgive myself for turning into what that monster wanted me to turn into.153Please respect copyright.PENANArdBx5MMBjq
