"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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RWowOVMXG
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8pLPOw0mv
Suddenly, Evander decided it would be a good idea to link his arms with mine and drag me to his room.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XzFZn2iZr
"What"
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRGLgnYdED
I looked at him with an eye brow raised and a small smile plastered on my lips.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3v8nAQg6U
"I can smell his highness all over you"
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymqynqiS0H
My mouth opened slightly and closed as I had nothing to say.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBHL3AJm71
"I lied, but your reaction tells me something did really happen."
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SRZ4DBDZ8
I glared at him, this cheeky little bastard.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ26nyGuY5
Looking at him I thought that it would be okay to let him know about it.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiv5aa0nAh
"King Cian is my soulmate"
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcPoZmhGEf
Surprise painted his face for a few seconds, but he quickly recovered and threw himself at me.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYtE2iGafu
"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
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoqGvDBOeS
"so that's why you needed more training"
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPbL3e9hiO
A nasty smirk appeared on his face.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJu4FrK6fl
"We didn't do anything, Evander"
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtGwbMIX5v
He nodded in satisfaction of catching me in my vulnerable moment.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtSdthO6CB
"Yes, yes you did. There is no way those swollen lips don't give it away, sister. No way in hell."
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ycz5IdURd
Oh my God. I looked at myself in the mirror.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrocuPhus25
Good thing I wasn't wearing a lipstick otherwise this would've looked worse.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi5BjsrewT
I saw Evander smiling warmly at me from the reflection. I turned around and smiled back at him.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fJw8J0Czi
He really was like a younger brother.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawfpTKvjFU
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjdi1AnhuD
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFPajhMqCT
I wouldn't mind him coming into my room and watch me sleep though.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu3JhztPpF
Don't get these crazy ideas you idiot.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpvlq17rMu
I grunted at my stupid thoughts.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79VjQkQ7LU
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKe0Z3Nvhn
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF0yqGn7eV
Of course, the clothes had to be appropriate. You can't go in wearing a bikini after all.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7afBUgGNI
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks767AwlfL
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn13Q9lJU7
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCFfFTKife
At least the devil has a reason for turning evil I guess. But what was my father's reasoning.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnRux0Qqaz
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLwAArNUWM
I didn't even bother with makeup. The thought had crossed my mind, but I felt uncomfortable wearing makeup outside of my room.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKGbtbUPAT
Looking back at my room one last time, I closed the door and made my way to dinner.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj0vFVYguA
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq4DlCXmlg
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudcN2sHRgR
"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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyCl2vMqgT
Right now, his arms were crossed. And that was not a good sign.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptc7840oCp
"What is your relationship with Signy" he demanded with a flat tone looking down at Evander.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmrRBCedtT
It took Evander a while to process what he was asking.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCg2AuCymm
"She is my partner in leading your warriors, your majesty"
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcJ6iAfzxd
Cian sniffed slightly as he got closer, his eyes flashed more yellow than usual.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfnoHDxoES
"Then why do I smell her all over you, Evander"
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZWXGDmzfa
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.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFNtZIfagq
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."
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEkW5smmhp
His response made me smile. And it seemed to have convinced Cian as his stern expression relaxed into neutral one.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul8cyJfteV
"We understand. It was something on our mind, so we had to inquire from you personally. You can raise your head"
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq7a6VRUuJ
Evander tried to hide his huge grin with a small smile. But he just looked like a baby who was about to cry.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o0ufpqU86
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.
