Calla Lily, The Eunuch King's Goblin Bride

"Wh-who are you?" The mighty king Theon known for his bravery questioned with baffled expressions to the newly arrived guy without having a clue of how he appeared out of nowhere, who just saved his life. When he was stranded on the silk thread between life and death.

The cheeks of the guy tainted red as if he was blushing and shy, he did not leave the hands of Theon. Eyes stitched to the face of King Theon, godly imposing features with flickering dark blue eyes as unsettling tides were making noises. The mysterious man was a few inches high above King Theon, well built sturdy figure that made King Theon seemed weak besides him.

"Well a passerby My Lord.

I - uhh- heard your screams on my way." The guy started off stuttering while still felt shy and battered his lashes towards King Theon.

[Rumble]

His words got interrupted in between by the rumbles of the skies. Which were now clearing and the light orange -red paint on the canvas of sky showed that the day was finished.

"Ah please excuse me a second Sire." The guy became cautious at once upon a muffled sound.

He noticed the very slight movement of the vines again, by this time all the vines from the trees were moving towards Theon like a nest of snakes crawling towards him.

"Hm, green veggies are supposed to be eaten." The guy chipped as two daggers fell into his hands from his sleeves, when arms flung out. The daggers were the size of a kitchen knife.

The guy skilfully played with daggers in his hands and started chopping off the vines that were coming out towards Theon. In such a movement which seemed to be an ancient martial arts with high pneumatic power stored in his core of body.

"What is this? Where am-" Theon was dumbstruck forgetting about the vines as he saw the night falling. The very trees on either sides of the way had been cut cleanly without any mismatch of the left overs of trees. 

"What? H-how strong is he? Is he even a human?" The thoughts started running inside King Theon's head as he witnessed a scene- never saw in his life before. He keenly observed the man doing deed effortlessly.

The skies got more louder at once as if the newly arrived guy angered the gods and another bolt of thunders dropped right on top of them. But again! Before the thunder could come in contact with Theon. 

"Oh Good Gracious! Oh Lords!

Don't be so rough with me." The mysterious guy just snapped his fingers together and muttered a spell, the roaring thunder bolt got scattered into tiny fragments disappearing into thin air.

The earth does not seem to be laying low. Disturbing the tectonic plates and seemed to be splitting into two again.

"Ahhh, you need to stay quiet too."

The person became agitated and with his daggers shoved into the ground he calmed the earth.

"My apologies for delay Your Highness I could not do this before."

The man knelt like he was obliged to protect King Theon.

"Who are you soldier? I can see your eyes. You belong to my Kingdom. I want to reward you for saving your king's life."

The canny king tried to maintain his composure not revealing that he was a jackal in lion's skin in real.

"My Lord! Your highness it was nothing. I fulfilled my duty towards you. I'm no soldier but a mere eunuch."

The man stood up and bowed with hands joined with utmost respect.

"You dare to refuse your king. Oh boy I want you to accompany me towards my kingdom."

King Theon raised his voice intentionally forcing the man leaving nothing for him to excuse about. He wanted to add another interesting thing to the pile of his treasure. And with those martial arts skills demonstrated by that man intrigued the king to the extent that he wanted to accomplish his plans with his help.

"My horse is right back a few miles. His highness does not lack anything but I want to present it to you My Lord."

The man pointed out towards certain direction before stepping that way.

"How can I refuse the love of yours...?"

Acknowledging that he was lacking in resources and the medium for travelling. King Theon immediately agreed to his request. Ending his sentence in a questioning tone.

"Eunuch Eros My Lord-at your service."

The man blushed feminine while saying his name. It was a pity that with such handsome, admirable looks and powers he was an eunuch. Eros placed his hand close to his heart and lowered his head before striding a mile away to fetch his horse.

"Ah hm."

With a feminine gait he walked further humming in low voice. Finally when vanished out of King Theon's sight the man gait changed into a manly posture, his lips lifted from the corners upwards reaching his eyes, giving off an evil smirk.
