《Story of Vita》The Forest King? / Chapter 49
Advertisement
"My lord, I hope Im not getting in the way for your work. To bring you some good news, your daughter managed to tame a monster. And to give you my honest opinion, I dont think even a small army would be able to kill it." Sir knight left the dark office with sleepy eyes and with a sweaty body. The day so far for him had been tiring to say the least.
In the room, there was a shadow of a man. Softly writing with a feather dipped in ink. For a moment, it slowed down before coming to a stop. After a second however, the man continued to write on the paper. If the room was lit up, one would see the massive piles of papers stacked up around and behind him.
In Dianas room, she slept in her massive bed while hugging one of many pillows on the bed. Right next to the bed Vita squatted there without moving. You could only see the head, mane and cape while the rest of the body couldnt be seen. But from Vitas mouth, a small white ball fell out. It bounced once, twice, before stopping.
Hell yeah, the best baby ball is back! Rocky and shiny bug is here, now with controllable light levels and upgraded to see with different eyes. So now I got the 'King' body and the tiny little marble bug body. Wonderful stuff. Now, lets take a proper look at this place. Maybe find potential escape routes like secret tunnels and easy to break windows. You never know if something happens that one doesnt wanna be around to witness. Like naked old people. If I do meet any, I should put them out of their misery.
The small ball rolled towards the door before opening up. Six legs total, small mouth and big adorable eyes. Tentacles moved out from Vitas mouth and pulled on the doorhandle. The door opened without a sound and a small, white ball rolled out. Whenever a corner was coming close or when something made a noise, Vita would slow down and open up to get a better look on whats going on. There were mostly just maids or servants patrolling the halls, but none of them managed to spot Vita. Except for one maid.

This maid was clearly older than the rest, but her gaze was cold as ice. The moment she saw a small unknown creature peak around a corner, she immediatly powerwalked towards it. The creature immediately disappaered around the corner. When she got there, she saw a small ball roll away. The ball stopped rolling and it opened up to reveal that it was actually a strange bug of some sorts. It turned its head to her direction and a staredown started.
And then the chase started. There werent many moving around that early, but there were a few who got to see the spectacle of the head maid chasing a small creature. Some of the maids had even tried to stop the creature in its path but all of them failed. As if that wasnt enough, the creature would unfurl and shoot out tentacles from its mouth to knock vases and different objects out of balance. The head maid however would pick up the different objects and put them back on their pedestals.
The sound of a small group of maids and servants running around had started to wake up the people who were sleeping. Some woke up due to the noise and started complaining. Others actually saw what was going on and decided to run after the mod of people. One poor servant walked out of their room only to have a bowling ball hit them in the scrotum. The head maid didnt bother to help the man, but one of the maids behind her did while almost all of the other servants stopped moving to wince in the pain.
Diana slowly woke up, yawned and rubbed her sleepy eyes. The sun wasnt even up yet, but there was already so much noise in the manor. She smiled when she saw 'King' sleeping on the foot of the bed. The cape served as a sheet for it, but she could see its hooves poking out. She was about to run to her fathers office to show of her pet when a small ball rolled into the room. It somehow jumped up into the air as 'King' opened its mouth to let it in. Right as 'King' closed its mouth, the head maid and many other maids and servants burst into the room.

The head maid was clearly out of breath, breathing in out out heavily. When she saw the shocked expression on Dianas face, she quickly calmed herself down. She did a quick bow and looked around the room once more. She had seen 'King' and Diana some hours earlier and was still getting used to the massive beast of a pet.
"Good morning my Lady. Im sorry to have waked you from your sleep, but have you seen a small white creature go into your room?" The other maids and servants also collected their cool when they saw the young lady of the house being so rudely woken up. There was one servant who was a bit teary eyed, but other than that the crowd just seemed to be out of breath.
But when the head maid saw that Diana was still in her nightwear, she quickly shooed everyone out of the room. Although the odd creature was suspicious, it shouldnt be a threat with 'King' around. Diana looked at the group of people leave the room. It was only when the door closed that she crawled over to 'King'. The part of the bed that 'King' slept on was suprisingly enough not dirty. She looked into 'Kings' eyes as she toyed around with its horns.
"King, what was that weird ball that you ate. Is it your friend? Or is it a part of you. I know that a lot of creatures in the Worlds Tongue tend to be weird sometimes, but you arent weird. Your really cool." She continued to mumble odd things. All of which Vita didnt understand. But Vita did roughly understand it as something positive.
It was still early compared to Dianas usual sleep schedule. That together with the little time she spent asleep caused her to fall asleep next to Vita. She still held onto Vitas horn with her small hand.
Ooo, the little baby is sleeping while holding onto me. Isnt that just adorable. Im going to vomit blood from all of this cuteness.

8 168I will not be eaten
Litchi is your ordinary Royal Road addict. She can’t resist the call of a new chapter even when she needs to work. Because of too many new responsibilities she promises one week without reading. Sadly, she cracks in three days, because of an Azarinth Healer notification. Taking out her phone she starts avidly reading. It’s just a small promise, she will try it another time. Nothing should happen. Say that to the goblin that tries to eat your face, Litchi! You should keep your promise! She was used to food jokes on her name but it seems that this time her destiny is to be eaten. ---- Hello future reader! I didn’t find a new good isekai so why not create my own? I am an RR addict and amateur writer (in French) and today I decided to publish a story. You will have my eternal gratitude for any advice or constructive comments on the story! One of my objectives is to have developed characters, duo or trio make a fantastic way to character growth. So, I will try to create a deep relationship between a few of them. The first few chapters have a lot of combat, but other characters will soon arrive. Those first few chapters are made to build tension and create Litchi's first motivations. This story has the plot written to the end and important characters already shaped. This story is short in comparison to the majority of RR fantasy stories. Update every two days until I have no more chapters in my pocket. Average chapter length: 2200 words Warning: The grammar can be bad, IMPORTANT CHARACTERS CAN (Will) DIE, contain philosophical conversation as the characters stumble upon morals dilemmas. I hope I will see you soon in the comments and thank you in advance for reading Litchi’s journey. Have a nice day! :)

This is the tale of unsung heroes, filled with daring adventure and powerful bonds, vicious monsters and shining redemption. Come, sit, stay awhile and listen. This story contains violence, budding romance, friendships forged in fire, and fantastical racism. I'm writing this story using the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons, the legendary tabletop roleplaying game. I first began posting this story on my personal Facebook page and on Tumblr under the username "valoroflight". I only put a few chapters in before moving to Wattpad to finish posting the full story. Unfortunately, my story has begun showing up on NovelHD without my permission, so I am moving to RoyalRoad in an attempt to get away from that.
