Calla Lily, The Eunuch King's Goblin Bride

My hands were tied into that magical chain which s.u.c.k.e.d my powers draining me to nothing but a vegetable. That soldier was riding on a white magnificent sturdy horse decorated well, prepared for a show.

He dragged me along behind the horse without even considering that I was injured because of his previous pull.

"Move faster you spite !"

I was in the middle of my mourning when he pulled the chain and yelled.

"I am on foot and walking you idiot."

I spit on the top of my lungs. How can someone be so feelingless.

"You ugly insect, how dare you..."

His pretty face turned red, brows pulled together. So he doesn't have facial paralysis I concluded even in that situation.

He pulled the rein of horse and he started to ran. The horseshoes clacking against those red bricks. That well bred horse dragged me through the streets like a rag. My arms were bleeding by now, my warrior dress torn from various places.

"Stop....stop now."

I tried to stop that soldier but he snickered and once again pulled the rein to the left. Obeying his master the horse turned to left immediately.

"NO....Wait No....please stop."

I could see the stairs going up connecting the road with the upper one.

Though it was adorned with carpet but still the bricks will hurt. And that idiot was going to take me through that pain. Without listening to my begging he let out an evil laugh. It felt like my body was crushed in between two heavy weights. I could tell my ribs broke and shoulder became dislocated. Loud m.o.a.ns of pain left my lips with a whimper and the soldier stopped on the upper road.

Tears crawled down on my cheeks and soaked into the red bricks. My blonde long hair became two shaded with mud as my face was caked again.

"Ah-Hahh my body."

I tried to relax my body but that chain wasn't allowing me to heal. A strong spell was casted on it that suppressed my powers. I needed to recover and with that condition of my body it was going to be a long process.

"Get up. The King is waiting."

He kicked me in belly, all I could do was to stare him for a few minutes. I didn't wanted to be dragged again or even the king would kill me, who knows.

Getting up took a lot of my soul energy but I managed somehow. I could see the towers and flags of Kingdom Bellezza sparkling in the sunshine. Walking slowly my eyes wondered how humans could manage to rise upto this level. In a few moments we reached the great wall and stood at the gateway to the castle.

A gentle breeze kissed my cheek, the air was refined free of dust. The sweet pungent fragrances of flowers filled my nostrils.

"You must have come for some reason, state. "

Roared the sentry, clearing his throat and snapping smartly to attention.

"I have a special prisoner for King Theon. I request to visit the king myself."

Replied the soldier slightly bowing with a smirk.

The sentry mumbled to his partner, the massive gate flew open and he went inside.

A few moments passed by and he came back, whispered something in the ear of first one.

"If you don't have something important to His Highness taste be sure to prepare an explanation or certainly an excuse to secure your head."

He passed the message sternly. Even with that face he was also one of these beautiful people. Quite comparable to them.

"Sure."

The soldier bowed low again and the gigantic brown gate opened again. I was in a daze with the first glimpse of interior when he pulled the chain and I followed him inside. Across every square fine, beautiful thin gentlemen regally dressed in silks and satins, buckled shoes with guns, all alert and alarmed were standing on the guard.

"By the order of King Theon, the emperor of Kingdom Bellezza you are granted the permission to walk inside the court room."

Another sentry informed us and the soldier nodded. Following the sentry towards a grandeur hall.

"Presenting The mighty King Theon."

[The soldier bowed]

I couldn't afford any beating. So mimicked him.

"Rise your head soldier. And state the excuse to disturb your King."

A velvety voice echoed into the court room. I peeked through the corner of my eyes and found a Godly featured man sitting high up on the throne. Raven hair perfectly combed back, Blue Oceania eyes with such a low tide for everyone to get drown.

Mighty- well build silhouette wearing the white robe with golden strings adorned on the sides, he was an embodiment of God's beauty.

"Apologies my Lord. But I have a prisoner with me you could be interest to see."

[Theon frowning]

"Is that so ?"

The soldier pushed me in the middle of the court room. My fantasies shattered due to his rash push. I moved my head to the sides and found the hall crowded with the monarchs, dukes, counts and ministers. With all their eyes darted onto me hungrily.

"Yes my Lord. I found her in the market today when a female seer predicted that she is the cause of the bad luck bestowed upon the realm."

The king acknowledged the introduction and growled.

"How can you be so sure soldier?"

Before I could prove my innocence and explain how I accidentally teleported here. The soldier held my face up in the direction of the king.

"My Lord look at her eyes. She is the snake who ate the happiness of our kingdom and spread her venom throughout the streets."

KILL HER

ABANDON HER

BURN HER ALIVE

Many voices rose one by one with disgust in the tone. My inner voice lost somewhere behind. I wasn't brought up that weak but after witnessing the people here I was forced to think and ponder how to save myself.

"Who are you ? Identify yourself lady."

I held back my tears and took a few steps forward but the sound of metals clacking halted me.

"My Lord this is just a misunderstanding. I don't mean any harm to anyone. I was accidentally teleported from another world to this kingdom while falling off the cliff. I'm CHARIS, the eldest princess of Goblin kingdom."

I sincerely introduced myself and waited for him to release me. But unexpectedly the whole court room burst into giggles which turned into a laughter echoing in every corner.

[Theon laughing endlessly]

"Ridiculous. What kingdom has such a hideous princess like you."

How could they not believe me.

"But....."

I wasn't hideous but was different. My voice got interrupted.

"She is making excuses my Lord. Please pass an order to kill her."

A monarch suggested and others hummed, agreeing to it.

"It's a wastage killing her when we can get more from this opportunity. And the royal seer has already said that its not a person but something else we are not sure about."

I gulped my fears but upon pondering for some minutes it was good for me to rest here than being wandering in the streets, starving to death. It became sure that I wasn't going to be killed or sent into exile.

"Get her treated. I will keep this lady as my concubine, she will be helpful in grabbing the attention of other kingdoms strengthening the ties. Spread the word."

I hardly knew that this was coming. Where I was wishing to get free, I became a caged bird used for their own purpose.
