Calla Lily, The Eunuch King's Goblin Bride

Chapter 24 - Shifting Of Attention

"Finally, it feels so good to be inside my kingdom and my magnificent palace." King Theon cherished his affluent life and was gleeful that he was alive.

Laughing with ugliness without a hint of remorse for the hors.e.m.e.n that died protecting him and that innocent hearted friend who got killed by King Theon himself.

"Ah get down mighty warrior, take a look at my heaven-my palace.Stay with me and you can have a corner in this beautiful castle."

As soon King Theon entered the gateway of Kingdom Bellezza he started boasting about his wealth and imposing his powerful reign on eunuch Eros.

By the time he dismounted the horse as eunuch Eros walked by him with pulleys in his grip, with an evilness burning in his mind King Theon stole a glance at eunuch Eros who was drooling over the heavenly sight before his eyes.

His reaction was expected to King Theon as it satisfied him to the extent that he placed an offer before him, in order to keep that mysterious eunuch under his roof.

"I will give you the riches, the women, anything you ask."

King Theon presented much to the newly arrived eunuch Eros.

"But even the forbidden things you ask off I can make your wish come true within a snap." King Theon frowned a little by moving closer and whispered in the ears of eunuch Eros with a wicked smile. Acknowledging that no man on this Earth could refuse such luxurious let alone the latter offer.

"I'm truly thankful for his Majesty himself to be pampering me so much. I will do as you please. It will be my honour to serve you, MY KING." Eros chipped emphasizing his newly found loyalty while bowing his head.

"Assemble the soldiers! Raise a hell of a feast tonight for the newly arrived member to our kingdom, decorate all the streets, may the golden carpets kiss our streets, may the golden coins flutter in the air. Tell all of our kingdom's villagers to celebrate. There will be a carnival. I will introduce Eros as a hero- the greatest warrior."

Theon Yelled out loudly-half singing. He became highly impressed by eunuch Eros. He wanted to show all of his heavenly p.l.e.a.s.u.r.es to Eros that to make him stay.

King Theon wanted him to teach those moves and art of sword skills to his warriors as to strengthen their strategy because the kingdom was close to the verge of collapsing. As the mighty foundation of core stone had gone black.

[A loud Thud]

The sound of a sword sheath thumping on the floor closeby from inside the palace was heard suddenly.

A while later Theon and Eros heard heavy foot steps of iron shoes and clacking Armor sounds approaching them.

"Hail King Theon!"

A very bold voice was heard-echoing like a lurking danger. A huge man equipped with Armoury appeared in their sight and was standing in front of King Theon and Eros.

"Oh Adonis! My loyal right hand man! It is so nice seeing you again. Meet Eros here. A young man who is capable of many wonderful things in such a young age." King Theon being delighted seeing Adonis, started boasting about Eros.

Eros how ever just gave off a smile without any word. As if was mocking his superiority to Adonis.

Adonis oogled at Eros from top to bottom trying to evaluate him keenly.

"My king! With due respect please fill your empty throne. We heard about the tragedy occurred in the way. All of us were quite depressed to hear such a thing happened with our king."

Adonis who arrived at the palace door to fetch the King says in a gentle but dramatic tone and gestures King Theon directing him the way into the palace.

"I'm really sad to loose all of my dear men. I tried my best to save them at the length of sacrificing my life but it was of no prevail. Finally when I thought even I was a goner. This young man here saved me like a guardian angel." Theon praised eunuch Eros while shedding a few tears.

"let's go in!  But Adonis, you really need to watch Eros fight, he is in a class of his own, his speed has no match, the way he moves his dagger passing finger to finger rapidly is just like an illusion or trick, I have never seen such an efficient guy before."

King Theon continued to recite praises as an intentional mockery to realize Adonis that now he was useless, in the name of Eros while they were heading inside.

Adonis gripped on his sword tight, he was annoyed by hearing "The Eros thing" continuously as the King arrived. He couldn't control his anger which was dwelling inside him like a volcano.

"Not to forget that your right hand man here is the best warrior in the entire kingdom my king! He is no less than any mere traveller. Apologies my Lord but we can't blind trust him, My King."  Adonis vented his thoughts out to be heard by King Theon.

"Ah! Yeah you are also a good warrior Adonis, I do not mean business of belittling my right hand man." Adonis's face becomes delighted as he heard the words of praise from Theon which was a farce grace.

"But- I should say, the magical and mystic nature that we had stumbled upon. I do not think you could have done what Eros did. His level of strength was on a different level."

Theon suddenly shifted his blessing- words of praise  from Adonis to Eros. As if was indirectly making Adonis aware that he was no longer needed on the place and deserved the title of Right-hand.
