Calla Lily, The Eunuch King's Goblin Bride

Chapter 37 - Challenge Accepted!

Upon the demand of King Theon, eunuch Eros was informed about the call from the King of kingdom Bellezza, King Theon.

"Huh? Oh yes, wait a minute?"

Eunuch Eros who was plopped on the slightly sagging mattress, which provided an ease to him throughout these days of his stay, shot up startled upon the sudden knock.

He permitted the person standing outside to step in, and the messenger of King Theon arrived in, who was personally sent by King himself to call upon Eunuch Eros immediately. 

"To the courtroom, sire."

The messenger arched his back and bowed to Eros, as the King himself was acknowledging Eros so everyone else in the kingdom was obliged to obey and give respect to eunuch Eros.

"Is everything alright?"

Eros rose up from his sagging bed from where he was sitting in a strange posture, which was totally new to the messenger himself. 

He had his legs in cross position and hands on the edge of knees with thumb and index finger joined together, previously he had a strange blue visible aura around him which immediately dissipated as he opened his eyes upon the knock. 

Practicing and levelling up his spiritual powers, Eros got a few days spared from King Theon and his court. He availed every minute of isolation and luckily reached high level Dan warrior strength. 

The climatic condition helped him and teleportation into another realm aided his powers, doubling them to a dangerous extent. But that mere eunuch had the solution of everything, listening to his silver cells and relying on his wits.

Eunuch Eros scoured his robe by shoulders and c.h.e.s.t portion as if intentionally mocking the messenger and boasting about the privileges provided to an outsider.

"Yes, let's go."

The messenger who was unmoved by his act but deep down cursed Eros in heart for his arrogant behaviour, simply nodded. 

Leading him the direction he thought Eros will trail him behind, instead the prideful man walked side by side with the messenger. 

The silent arcade which led them towards the main courtroom resonated with their footsteps. Eunuch Eros raked through his hair backwards as giving a final touch up to his good looks, before entering the hall.

The messenger with austere expressions pushed the massive immaculate golden door, with beautiful carving and the tremendously huge main hall greeted his sight.

Eros stepped into the like an aristocrat and walked through the carpeted floor upto King Theon, totally neglecting the presence of his monarchs and ministry. 

He could hear muffled scoffs and scornful whispers but chose to ignore them all, as the Queen of the Chess was under his spell.

"Greeting, my Lord."

Standing in front of King Theon, eunuch Eros maintained the imposing aura which neither let any of the being in the hall to complain, nor they could do.

"Rise, eunuch Eros, my favourite man."

Eunuch Eros smiled slyly and lifted his head up, completely aware that his thrown cards were working.

"I pondered upon Adonis's suggestion and came to the conclusion that his demand is valid. So that is why I called you both here to discuss about the duel."

King Theon rested his arms on the arm-set of the Throne.

"My Lord, I want to request a fight in Colosseum!"

Before Eros could utter anything in the regard, Adonis placed forward his another request.

"Ye-yeah sure! Let's do it in the Arena." 

Adonis challenges Eros with a confident air around him and to his dismay eunuch Eros accepted at once, leaving no moment for Adonis to sense how terrible mistake he just did.

"I am the king of the Colosseum, there is no way I can lose with my vast variety of weapon choice. Colosseum is my only good choice for now."

Adonis wanted to suffocate Eros within his grip in the massive colosseum, but his overt interest and rage to bring down Eros made Adonis blindly confident to present the idea of fighting in the colosseum.

"I approve your request Adonis, but remember I would not forgive you for killing Eros."

King Theon indirectly warned Adonis not to go overboard in the tide of his hurtful pride.

"What do you have to offer eunuch Eros?"

King Theon averted his stare towards Eros, high up from the throne from where he could see their expressions. 

"I have nothing, my Lord. I fully accept Adonis's challenge and will fight fair and square."

Eros bows with right hand on his heart, with utmost respect and humble tone that made Adonis scoff under breath.

"That is all settled now gentlemen, tomorrow you both are going to have a duel in the arena. I , King Theon, hereby announces this fight."

King Theon shot up from his throne and dr.a.p.ed the long shoulder cloth around his right arm, by swinging it a little. He announced the Colosseum fight with a proud composure, as if he knew who would win.
