The Forest King? / Chapter 50

Dear diary. The reason I started to write in this hypothetical diary is because I'm bored. Although I wasn't in control of that dog/wolf some time back, at least I had some fun with the bacteria and other such things. So far, the only things I have been doing are what I would call "bonding time". Yes, it is as boring as it sounds. After she woke up, she put on her clothes with some help from the maids.

Then it was all about names and words. Everything's sounds weird to me, but at least names are super straightforward. Like, the kid's name is Diana. The hero in metal is called Sir Knight. I do not know if that is actually his name, but it is easy enough to remember. Imagine calling your name "Sir Knight". I would cry for him if I could.

The other things we do as "bonding" are activities. No, nothing like that, get your head out of the gutter. Bastards. I'll kick every single one of you out of here!

Diana would try to give me commands, and then I would do it. But I'm too cool for school. As a matter of fact, she is still trying to give commands. Dumbass.

"King, jump!" Diana shouted as she demonstrated in front of Vita. Sir Knight stood further back with some maids. The land that Diana's father owned wasn't small, so they had plenty of space. It was a sad sight for the people watching. It would be fine if a pet followed their master's command, but at least the worst pet would show some kind of reaction. 'King' on the other hand was just standing there as a statue. The only signs that it was alive was the breathing and its seven eyes moving from time to time.

"To think poor Diana managed to tame such a stupid animal". Sir knight said mostly to himself. The maids probably thought the same thing. To their surprise, 'King' moved all eyes towards Sir Knight. Sir Knight had been stared down by plenty of people, but there was something uncomfortable about 'Kings' stare.

"King, it's rude to stare at others. Now, jump!" Vita looked back to Diana and, by some divine intervention, jumped. And Vita jumped high. Sir Knight and the maids had disbelief written all over their faces, while Diana's eyes positively shone with light. Vita had managed to jump over the manor and over the castle that the manor was build around. When Vita landed, the impact managed to crack the ground and send out a small shockwave!

Diana was pushed over, but the look in her eyes didn't go away. Instead, her eyes seemed to shine even brighter. And as a finishing touch, Vita's raised the head a bit similarly as a true noble would to look even more noble.

By now, the light from Diana's eyes changed to lasers, but only she had that reaction. The people watching sat down on the chairs they had brought with them and didn't bother to do anything else.

After Diana tried playing fetch with Vita, another maid walked out of the manor and said some words to Sir Knight.

"Diana and, uh, 'King'. It's time to eat." Hearing this, Diana ran over to them, with Vita right behind her like some evil spirit.

The people working in the manor quickly learned that Vita didn't enjoy being treated like an animal. They found out when 'King' stole from Diana's plate and replaced it with the food they had originally given it. Which had included innards. Now 'King' sat next to Diana with a plate to call their own. Diana's dinner was a balanced meal with different greens and soup. And 'King' got the same, but it didn't look quite filling. Not only that, the forks and spoons looked comically small compared to the rest of its body.

As the sun started to go down with the covers of rain-clouds, both Diana and Vita walked through the hallways. They finally reached a door that had was much darker. Diana brought up her hand and softly knocked on it three times. With Vita's heat vision, totally not stolen from any animals, it was easy to know what was inside. There was just one person in there, but the heat that this human generated seemed to be less than the average.

Wait a second. Lower than normal temperature. And the room, based on how the building is made, doesn't have a window. And this is a fantasy realm. Could it mean that this girl's father is a vampire! Keep your cool, Vita, you don't know if vampires are accepted in this world. Hey, they might even be the good guys! Let's keep our cool...

"Come in." A raspy voice answered. Diana opened the door and walked in, and Vita followed after her. Having to crab walk into the room was a bit of a hassle, but doable. The room was dark, and there wasn't a window in there either. But when seeing Diana's father's face, Vita understood why his body temperature was so low.

The man looked depressed. Or at least he was crying a bit too much for it to be healthy. His eyes are all bloodshot and shit. But with so little light in the room, anyone else wouldn't be able to see his face unless they went right up to the man. Or if they threw fire on him. But then again, you wouldn't be able to see any actual face if it was covered in fire. And now both of them are crying, but Diana seems to be crying happy tears. So does the father too! The original coldness started to disappear when he hugged Diana. Aw, adorable. A parent's love for their child is truly something else. Kinda makes me want to ruin it for the fun of it.

The father and daughter couple spoke in whispers to each other. The depressed dad up at Vita, but there wasn't any fear in his eyes. The look in the dads eyes were completely different from what Vita had ever seen before. Diana's dad looked away from Vita when Diana said something to him. His eyes turned soft once more as he hugged Diana again. They stopped hugging and Diana left the room with a happy smile on her face. The dad was also smiling as he waved at the two leaving his room.

He pulled a drawer out from his desk and pulled out an old picture. The picture had himself in it and a woman holding a baby. The man was crying happily while looking at the child. The woman however seemed to be asleep, or that she had her eyes closed. The man wiped away a tear as he put the picture back in the drawer as he continued working on the massive pile of documents.
