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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FXiYDASiM

There was a moment of silence then I heard footsteps next to me as the guard left with a bow to his majesty. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXM0rrXU7u
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55e6hHsHaB
I peeked through my lashes to already feel his stare. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77s6u5KgtZ
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseqECDCc3I
He stood up with grace as he slowly walked down to the table then near me. He held a hand out to me. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoq5EA49bC
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tz4Oh7COK
I looked up with my eyes wide open. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshzuVcikYo
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8ezBSzq94
Does he want me to kiss his hand or hold it? 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiZegsXZ9a
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mXcbXRZOI
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.152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHGW4V8Mdv
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kpUKdSxue
He held my hand securely and brought it up to kiss the back of it. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhUgf9NA52

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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu2sPZyl7U

I need to get myself together, this is no way to act as one of the leaders of the warriors. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDlFwXUNr3
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMTfrpAu3l
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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZh21Q14Gw
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy7O4G6dw8
My mouth opened wide as I tried to search for words to politely refuse. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05azmnuSOY
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRhdhM47gl
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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRuI6Wc8Qt
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywwyj38ycF
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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF9dBAX22l
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTLP51aTjB
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" 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT58ogAYhn6
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXZD6h9Gm9
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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IPcAGpl3f

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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluOSkkG52X

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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoV4sc4CiK
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx57VSw6UP
Maybe I should start with using his name alone. I mean it's only in my head and no one will hear it. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyjgBkWOaS
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1BIvUC8nF
Cian. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7jwLYAFhK
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioleFUpNtB
Why does it sound so majestic even without the king. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmLMIWVpiO
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WgPHHbYUa
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Evander whisper to me "Am I late?" 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbwywnotLq
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuLmUSsMKI
"No, I'm early" I smiled at him as he looked next to himself and smiled at me. We both heard a throat clearing. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp3VokjUsk
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5pOLWhJOr
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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp0WFzbAH4
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfkyJPuLTp
And to be honest, he looked quite adorable. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGSuqjXndS

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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFH1Qx7mzz

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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIJN20NCZV

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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43yYRotqFL
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXo8dXqyJg
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. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSg5UC74v0
152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm44BBMX1V
What a traitor for leaving me alone with Cian. 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8HJb3RXUu

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 152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedVA5e0MQb
