Calla Lily, The Eunuch King's Goblin Bride

Adonis and eunuch Eros went to the colosseum with king Theon and soldiers. Commoners followed them to witness, who was the strongest among the both, as King Theon announced the duel among people and the word spread like wild fire.

The soldiers had seen much of Adonis's strength in his many years of services in the kingdom, but everybody was curious about what Eros wad capable of, moreover what could an eunuch do.

The collosseum had two entrance from where every contestant was supposed to walk out to face each other in the battleground. 

Eunuch Eros walked out confidently from one of the entrance , while the other entrance was calm and no one showed up.

"Did he choose not to come to the colosseum?" 

King Theon arrogantly questioned to one of his soldier, celebrating the victory of eunuch Eros in his heart.

"We did not see master Adonis, heading this way." 

The soldier replied obediently and truthfully. 

"Dammit! We should have keep am eye on him, he forfeited and chose to run away, that coward!"

Theon gritted his teeth and slammed his hands on the terrace wall that was high up to one side of the colossuem and separated the King from the field and audience, but showed him a clear view of battlefield.

[Thump~ Thump~ Thump~]

The wall that King Theon has his hands placed on startedt to vibrate, as everyone else heard loud thump of foot steps approaching. 

"H-he.... how did he get the lock to that room? It is only given to caretakers to have it to..."

King Theon's voice trembled as he heard the rumbling steps of the creature approaching them.

Suddenly a three headed wolf, to be precise a Hellhound, a magical beast could was witnessed entering from one gate, heading towards eunuch Eros from the side of Adonis, and Adonis seemed to be riding on the top of 'it'.

"Nice, nice! Rover! Good boy." Adonis enjoyed his trip to colosseum as his image of the true battle lord, riding on a Cerberus - A three headed wolf, which supposedly should be guarding the gates of hell, was in front of King Theon and Eros.

"My apologies, it took a while everybody. I was bringing him in with me." 

Adonis chipped like a casual matter, referring to the three headed beast, as perhaps it was a minutiae for other commoners. 

"What is 'it' doing here? Isn't it supposed to fight slaves and soldiers, we captured from other kingdoms? It is a. ....i-it is a shadow beast ADONIS,after all made from DARK MAGIC. Are you INSANE?" 

King Theon yelled while stuttering, remembering the past and how he got his hands on the beast. He did not know how to unleash his ire on Adonis in the presence of that beast.

"It is a rule, my king, anyone who wants to fight, the general of this kingdom in a collosseum, should be a top gladiator, Isn't it? And the top gladiator right now is Rover! Eunuch Eros needs to beat Rover first in order to fight me." 

Adonis muttered with a big and c.o.c.ky smile, as he was totally convinced that the victory was going to be his. As there was no way Eros was going to win against a Hellhound without any weapon or the use of dark magic itself.

"Isn't this a little too much now." Eros put on his usual smile, and starred at the face of Adonis and muddled to himself.

"Very soon, very soon that smile would not be on your face anymore! You thought you are the best and shit! What happened now? Not so tough, huh? I will spare you if you be off from here with your a.s.s." Adonis stepped down from the beast while spouting c.o.c.ky words to Eros. 

Nearby there stood a long rack at the side of the right wall which consisted of every possible weapon used in the Arsenal. Adonis picked out a spear, sword and a shield and threw them near the feet of Eros.

"Beg fast! I will let you live!" Adonis continued his sarcasm laced in a mocking tone.

"Hehe." 

The expressions of Eros became bright as his face beamed with joy, listening to his balderdash.

Eros started responding to the earlier call of King Theon and initiated the conversation politely. 

"Well, well! I guess I really stepped on a Lion's tail here. I never thought you would bring out such a deadly card hidden under your sleeves."

At the very point a smile  surfaced the face of Adonis.

"Heh! you acted so might and bright. Now come, touch my feet and beg."

Adonis could not wait to have eunuch Eros at his feet and beg for his life, he was in his own thoughts.
