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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoprBI8o5H

There was a moment of silence then I heard footsteps next to me as the guard left with a bow to his majesty. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi7I7yV7c0

I peeked through my lashes to already feel his stare. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OSuCSVbRe
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoYQ8IGhiA
He stood up with grace as he slowly walked down to the table then near me. He held a hand out to me. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0YOSRuaga
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX758to5Ip
I looked up with my eyes wide open. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJcdYrrmvB
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWQkVHTWey
Does he want me to kiss his hand or hold it? 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrpZodMv6J
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNCglHQYzV
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.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFiKkq64f5
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz3ildzDEP
He held my hand securely and brought it up to kiss the back of it. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f4CaWk9jR

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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ828g6KvJBl

I need to get myself together, this is no way to act as one of the leaders of the warriors. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrVSqnA95l
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7jdGymzFD
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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDKL6r40ko
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj8kmGyAZM
My mouth opened wide as I tried to search for words to politely refuse. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLRnSeIB2p
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Hfm1rHO9
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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcpR5XDoJK
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FqWjQRYbe
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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBEHsLLoaO
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kFP46Ecn9
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" 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9hbmCaZ8G
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2jwQhsQQv
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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc3eP3enjB

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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkZELhYl9o

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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUx7lR1xP6
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKPufgahqU
Maybe I should start with using his name alone. I mean it's only in my head and no one will hear it. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaBiJ7lZyt
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvTTY0H7fm
Cian. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaizxImUkiZ
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG3Rs7DOh4
Why does it sound so majestic even without the king. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qkQYndjEt
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbLKrcH8B3
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard Evander whisper to me "Am I late?" 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOoPohue3V
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeezhTSKsyq
"No, I'm early" I smiled at him as he looked next to himself and smiled at me. We both heard a throat clearing. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnut4Sn5Mw
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFZZnV9l3G
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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve0CYVqkq9
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF7cYKofZp
And to be honest, he looked quite adorable. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtR4MzBPty

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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6q6Ak3tNb

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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMsxjd1RLU
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8ag8CCSsZ
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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaF2hoRnC3
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs619l4QOu
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. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXWpXAJYTG
210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK7tO2dZrd
What a traitor for leaving me alone with Cian. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rfP3PZcix

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 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPqzynmcGd
