《Story of Vita》Freshmen and Fresh Meat / Chapter 78
Advertisement
Rubert-Ree stood there in his father's office, sweat slowly going down his back. He held his hands behind his back to make sure that Lothair didn't see how hard he clenched them. Everything, to make sure to not show any weakness in front of him.
Lothair seemed relaxed, as he sat there. He looked through some documents and papers, looked into a crystal and sipped some flowing lava from an obsidian cup.
Speaking of an obsidian cup, everything in the office was made of some kind of rock. Even the chair and the papers Lothair was reading were made out of rock. Hell, there wasnt even any normal light sources inside the office. Instead, small rivers of lava were continually flowing in the walls, floor and ceiling, lighting up the room from multiple angles.
Eventually, Rubert-Ree felt the urge to gulp. Between making a small gulping noise and choking on it, he decided to risk it and swallow some of the stress that plagued him.
*Gulp*
Lothair was already giving him a side-eye from the stone desk. The face didnt show any particularly strong emotions, as Stoic as the surrounding stone. This had always been a source of dread for Rubert-Ree. Never being able to tell what his father was thinking was as frightening as it was confusing.
A second went by, and Lothair looked back down to the stone tablets on his desk.
"Rubert-Ree." He flinched.
"The child from the Wolfheart family was invited to the Seastar brats mansion. Go there and at the very least restore your image." Lothair spoke with no emotion. Rubert-Ree stammered, but was stopped by Lothair glaring at him. Lothair's eyes werent normal, not even by the standard of The Kingdom. His eyes were black with fire coming out from the pupil like a sun. Lothair kept his questions to himself as he stared right ahead.

With a small gesture, Rubert-Ree was allowed to leave with badly hidden frustration on his face. He walked quickly, ignoring any golems that scurried around the place.
The golems themselves, given life by the powerful mana released by the surrounding climate, didn't seem to mind the young master's behavior as if used to it.
He walked up to a massive circle with an old man sleeping on a chair next to it.
"Send me back to the Magi-milian university of Soul." he snarled, causing the old man to jolt awake. With an unintelligible grumble and some more magical grumble, the circle started to glow. The old man spoke to someone not in the room, but after a while he finished the spell and Rubert-Ree was gone.
Vita walked up to the mansion with Diana in hand. The ground was a fine cobblestone road, but without any bumps on it. On the sides of this road were multiple hedges and statues, both designed to look like different creatures of the sea and humans as well. There was even a statue of a woman holding what looked like a large serpent by the scruff of its neck. Multiple well-crafted statues in perfect condition. Vita even picked and ate a nearby flower because it looked interesting.
As expected, no different from any other flower other than looks.
They continued on, leaving impressive statues and other fancy things behind. Finally, they stood before the entrance of the impressive manor. White marble walls with large windows and even more decorations. All of which were related to the sea in some form.
An older servant who stood in front of the massive doors raised his eyebrows ever so slightly when he saw how Diana was moving around. But he quickly changed his demeanor to a more respectful one as he walked up to both her and Vita.

"Ah, the young Champion of the Magi-Millian University of Soul, lady Wolfheart. No need to show your invitation, the wendigo is more proof than needed. Please, come this way." The servant gestured with his hand to the inside of the manor. Diana tried to keep herself together, after all it's the first time she has been invited by royalty, and gave the letter to Vita for safekeeping.
Following the servant, they entered the mansion. The inside of the mansion had a white and blue coloration, with white marble walls and blue carpets covering the ground. And not to mention the large amount of paintings of different people and places. The servant would point to the paintings and talk on length about what they showcased. One of an ancestor, one of a place, and so on.
Barely any of it managed to catch Vita's attention, although Diana seemed quite interested. The only painting that was interesting was of a woman who seemed familiar. The woman was armored and holding what looked to be a halberd made out of water. In the background, however, was a massive snake-like creature that seemed to charge straight to her. Quite the action packed painting, whoever painted it did a great job.
Diana, because Vita did stop moving, looked at the painting and asked about it to the servant.
"Ah, This painting is quite spectacular indeed. The painting itself is a replica of another painting which is well over five hundred years old. It is a painting of Arabella Seastar, the founder of the Seastar royal family, fighting the demon king Leviathan during the age of demons. Despite being in a disadvantage, she still managed to defeat the demon with ease and help Akitio to fight the self-proclaimed god of the demons." The servant spoke with deep respect in his voice when talking about Arabella, and with slight disgust when he said the name of the demon king.
-Vita-
Well, look at that. Badass lady fighting a demon king? Thats quite the coincidence that she helped the 'hero' too. Let me guess, it was a harem. Disgusting bastard.
Ignoring the lady, that is supposed to be a demon? I need to find more about these things. There are so many additional details in the bodies of this world that there must be something of interest in these so called 'demons'.
That can wait for now, I want to see how much incest the royalty of this world has compared to good ol' Earth.
