I was taken to another room to get changed back into my normal outfit. I was told that tomorrow I would get my uniform, badge and my stamp. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zrsmehZzn
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqOAjG1vu0
I stepped outside in my normal dress and found the guard and the man that won the fight with his rivals standing there. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvgHBfeTH5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriGfnQWffA
"my apologies to keep you waiting" I said with a bow as the guard bowed back in respect and led us towards the royal hall. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwrkXLER8q
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsAUfw3q77
"I'm Evander" a deep voice announced next to me. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeJsrDCTzi

I looked at him to see a black haired boy who seemed younger than me. He had freckles across his face with brown eyes. I tilted my head to figure out what he is. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaZsJfOkTl
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEX6r77pY4
He awkwardly smiled "I'm a centaur" 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzyp4mBVXV
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoduHVCL2UY
Centaurs were half human and half horse. They were skilled bow warriors. Just like wolves, they could shift into their other form. But normally they had a normal body like everyone else. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy4FJvAloA
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw83IbkWoS
I smiled at him. He seemed decent. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkvHX1lx6Y

"I'm Signy" 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6EVufaMtm
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNNiXxjzfp
He tilted his head "I'm just a human" his eyes widened as he tried to hide his surprise. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ605PcotISJ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF6u7YXPQW
I smiled at him reassuringly. I think I'll get along with him. I almost immediately felt like I had a younger brother when I looked at him. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVjGZqgPAL

The guard stood in front of the royal hall as he knocked loud enough for it to echo into the hall then a second later he opened the door. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyqU10fT7A
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUxU7k4o5y
Both me and Evander kept our gaze down as we walked in. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEe1NgEj9p
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkKpMsQIr0
We were stood in front of the throne. All I could see in front of my gaze was his royal mantle and clothes they wore in royalty that I had no idea what they were even called. I never had an interest in fashion. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTGVTim8gs
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4UmIyShdG
A melodic velvety voice with authority rang out through the hall "Congratulations, you both deserve the title that are now upon you. Be sure to use your authority and power well and in interest of our people and their protection". 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zHDRHl4H5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnCB3jSMao
We both knelt in front of the king on one leg to show our gratitude. I felt an intense gaze on me, but I didn't dare to look up. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KMCHoXUjB
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9NTt0Dlvo
"You can stand now".133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue7VIu7YSE

We both stood up at the same time. King Cian stood from his seat as the royal guard presented him with the hot iron that was used on wrists for those that became leaders of the warriors. He first turned to Evander as he put the piping hot iron on his wrist. It sizzled a bit as I heard a grunt of pain that could barely be heard. Evander was trying to compose himself to not look weak. However, I've always thought a show of weakness if something hurts you is the evidence of that you feel. And feelings were something I was a stranger to and in constant conflict with. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzESfngkhmC
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZuc81QFvu
I envied Evander. I couldn't tell if I was envying him for having feelings or if I was envying him that King Cian reached to him first. Either ways the feeling was new to me and it made me uncomfortable. I was never comfortable around emotions. I had an odd relationship with it. I couldn't react to pain, but at the same time there were things I felt that were worse than pain. These are very hard to describe and too complicated for any to understand. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3GlQbzk1L
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1qObxCvfZ
I then heard king Cian turning to me. He was there holding the iron in his strong hands. I caught my breath when I accidentally looked up to see him already staring at me while being so close. My personal space was envaided by his intoxicating and breathtaking scent. I was caught mesmerized by his beautiful brown eyes that swirled with what looked like emotions. I didn't know the king could look so passionate up close.133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4DB8kYc0Y
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXp2WF8zJS
"I apologize for doing this to you my love" he whispered in my ears low enough for me to be the only one hearing it. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmw05Z03oP
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FGIBhoN5r
My eyebrows furrowed as I heard what he called me. He held my wrist in his big, rough and strong hands. I felt a shock of electricity go up my arm leaving a tingly sensation. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtl9FpGZqS
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAw2atbrXw
I knew what this was. Only your Soulmate could make this happen. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYicA1r1um5
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GOZ6P2lRy
I quickly looked down. He is still royalty, I don't want him to feel disrespected. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE7MLkl29P
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgbetBULCn
I heard a small yet heavy sigh from him causing me to look up again through my lashes. He was staring down at me with an expression that made me blush. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYZNAyFCud
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cazlHjxNL
I've never blushed in my life. I was calling this blushing because I felt embarrassed by the way he looked at me, my face was burning to feel his brown eyes on me. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo3lJzZe7J
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3dbdN82ha
I felt his grip tightening a bit as he pressed the iron on my wrist. I felt the pain shot up through my arm. The only way for me to not react was to think of the sorry excuse of a father I had. The torture he put me through was worse than this. My body is full of his scars. I wasn't going to let this win over me. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ayhHl2dje
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8LTDFuHrI
I kept a straight face throughout the pain. He lifted the iron as he looked at my wrist with a perplexed gaze and worry in his eyes. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbzKZKFijx
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH9SEhqP2b
I smiled at him to reassure him and did something that surprised us both "It's going to be alright" I whispered so low that even I doubt he heard it. But he seemed to have heard it with the small smile on his face. It looked like he was holding back from grinning that I had talked to him. But I quickly looked back down to make sure no one heard us or felt us looking at each other. This was too complicated to be known right away. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaFSlof1Pn

King Cian reluctantly turned around. I looked up to be the only one noticing that his shoulders were a little slumped. Everyone else was too afraid to even look up. The guard bowed and led us to our assigned rooms. 133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2AgyucQUJ
