Calla Lily, The Eunuch King's Goblin Bride

The first time Charis was out there , went through horrific experiences. But she was courageous enough to give it a second go, she possessed that brave heart of a warrior who knew how to survive still within limited resources.

And not everyone has this ability; it cannot be learned, it comes by nature or the atmospheric influences one grows within.

Every crowned princess like her seldom gets a chance to roam around carefree within the high secure walls of castle , stepping out to explore the world was not a chance for even a brief second.

"You look adorable in this robe. I wish I were a man to dote onto you."

Ezlynn winked at Charis and elbowed her in tummy gently drooling over her beautiful appearance.

"I'm flattered. "

A disapproving voice left her pursed lips as she ogle at the reflection and found an aristocratic lady in bright rosy red dress with cloudy white crisp of flare making the neck line and surfing towards bottom in V shaped trail.

A same shaded long furry robe was hung on her shoulders and the feathers surrounded her neck. Small gold leaf ear rings were dangling in a chain down at the end of her pointy ears resembling elves .

"Isn't it too show-y ?"

Charis turned over and inquired how fitted that dress was and shamelessly hugging her body; specially b.r.e.a.s.ts and h.i.p.s.

She was not plump or that skinny but God carved her in well tempting stature. Though there was no nudity but it didn't made a difference whether she was covered or not in that dress.

"Oh don't be so cheeky Charis you are an elegant lady and sure are ladylike ."

Eire popped her face in by hugging Charis from behind and tucking chin on her shoulders, swaying a little.

"Aye ! Okey I believe you."

She rolled her eyes first; pouting and then all giggled.

"Now let's move and Charis you will find out why I brought you this dress."

Ezlynn chipped like a scheming old lady of the house. She strode towards the giant door of the chamber, bowed a little and presented the way out. Charis flipped her blonde hair which were let loose, cascaded on her furry red robe sliding down towards her navel.

Two braids starting from the front were tied at the back and decorated with a golden leaf pin. Striding like a trashy proud lady she entertained her audience and the three ladies stepped out of the chamber; more likely her cell.

Seren was somewhere out in another corner of palace serving His highness, away from these joyous moments.

"Oh it's so lively out there."

Charis jumped rooted in her place at the instant sight before her eyes. As soon she stepped out of her room the vast arc caught her attention maybe she didn't notice it the moment she was brought to this room.

The blossoming pink flowers hung to the veins were dangling inside the corridor manifesting a life out there; full of vigour and kindness. Charis moved closer towards the arc which led her to the breathtaking sight of valley.

"You will get to see much more beauty once we reach the front garden BUT if you please move."

A fake angry Ezlynn gave her a reminder of where they were heading. Which interrupted her activity.

"Oh yes. I'm eager, hurry up. Where to ? Which turn ?"

She half ran through out that vast stretched corridor, her laughter echoing and the bleak grey walls absorbed her happiness either to suppress her voice or to liven up themselves, it was still a mystery.

Like a lost kid who was searching for her parents she pointed towards the two paths which were heading in opposite directions.

"Pfft. The right one. And don't make noise by running."

Eire muttered pointing towards right and soon the sounds of high heels started to clack against the marble floor in the quiet glum atmosphere.

"Stop right there. You are not allowed to pass."

Two people stopped their way in the broad alley with sharp spears resting in cross right in front of their faces, their coarse voice was comparable to the shiny silver armour.

"Here I have the written edict directly from His Highness that Milady can move anywhere within the palace walls and East wing."

Ezlynn took out a piece of white paper, holding it high upto the soldier's face for him to read. In response he just hummed and gave way. Reaching the staircase which seemed a Cobra resting in spiral position, they all descended while chattering and their whispers could be heard like buzzing of bees.

"Ezlynn are you sure there is some problem with your kingdom's core stone ? "

Dismounting the last step Charis inquired which made her halted.

"Of course it is black now.

But I'm sure His highness will manage to revive it back. The National master and Seers are trying to look for the cause to come up with a solution . But why you are asking this out of blue right now ?"

Charis genuinely smiled which curled her lips close upto the eyes.

"Because everything here is -is just perfect and full of- you know something like extraordinary. It does not seem that something is wrong with the foundations of this kingdom ."

She mulled in between to chose the right words to narrate her view.

"Oh yes His highness has still maintained everything with his magic. You know his cultivation is very powerful since childhood that's why The National master took him under the wings and taught to control over senses.

If you could come earlier Charis you would get to see how vigorously kingdom Bellezza was standing out among other neighbouring kingdoms. "

Eire let out a tired sigh as she was to mourn over someone's death after finishing her whispering.

Because guards were standing everywhere and walls have ears too . Ezlynn patted onto her shoulder with a forced smile.

"Let's head outside for fresh air."

All three passed the long open corridor which led them directly towards the garden and Charis was about to step onto the green lush grass when a thunderous voice made her quiver.

"STOP YOUR EVIL STEPS RIGHT THERE."
