Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 170
Arcea chuckled, “Let me remind you of what happened.”
The two young women gulped when Arcea started her narration.
“When we were first years, I bet 600 silver coins if Ivory graduates. There are five of us who signed here, but those two girls already quit the academy last year. Since only the two of you remained… You have to pay me 500 and 300 silver coins, as promised.”
After hearing her story, they hesitantly gave the coins as promised. They immediately walked away as soon as their pouches got lighter!
Ivory gave a short laugh at her classmates’ conversation. “Arcea, you have to treat me to good food tomorrow,” she tickled her side.
“Of course! It’s all thanks to you that I got 800 silver coins. If those two did not quit, then I would have gotten so much more!” Arcea laughed..
After an hour, the ceremony and feast officially ended. There was a line of students wanting to greet and thank the principal and the Educators.
Ivory came last at the line.
“You dimwit. You’ll have a chance to talk to the Principal because of our goal,” the Vampire was referring to helping Prince Levian reclaim the throne, “Let’s go home. The line is too long.”
“Ugh, if only I didn’t get some apple juice, then I wouldn’t be last in this line,” she pouted.
Suddenly, someone greeted Ivory.
“Hi.”
“Oh, uhm… Hello, Miss Gaian?” Ivory gave a kind smile. “Congratulations on being the highest ranking student.”
“Thank you. Congratulations on graduating, Ivory. I hope I can fight with you in the competition,” Anastasia uttered. Although she was already dropping the formalities, Ivory didn’t mind at all.
As her ultramarine blue irises gazed into her light blue irises, Ivory couldn’t explain why she suddenly felt calm. There was something different in Anastasia that she wanted to speak with her more.
“Ivory,” she gently patted her head, and her light fingers slowly combed her silver hair downwards. “I think it’s time to be close to you-”
“Do not touch my Master,” Sigmund glared at the ginger-haired woman, shoving her hands away from Ivory’s hair.
They were shocked when she laughed.
“What’s your problem?” the Vampire asked.
“I am just happy that you’re doing a great job protecting your Master,” she gave them a wide smile.
Lucius, who already finished greeting the staff of the academy, walked briskly towards them when he noticed the tension between Sigmund and Anastasia. “Is there something wrong?” he asked.
“Nothing’s wrong,” Anastasia responded, “I just told Ivory that I want to be friends with her. I have no friends, you see.” She smiled at Ivory this time, who seemed confused with her actions.
“Uhm, yes,” she hesitated at first, “Maybe we can be friends,” and she finally told the ginger-haired woman.
“You birdbrain, can’t you see how suspicious she is?” the Vampire Servant whispered.
“I know what I’m doing. There must be a good reason why she’s like this,” she whispered back to him.
“If you want Ivory to be close with you, I also… want to be close with you,” Lucius uttered, and the three widened their eyes. But the blonde young man only meant that he wanted to make sure that his sister’s safe.
Anastasia giggled, “Lucius… Are you flirting with me?”
“Miss Gaian, do not misunderstand!” he immediately said, not wanting her to think about such a ridiculous thing, “I am not flirting with you!!!” he panicked, not realizing that his voice was loud enough to echo in the grand hall!
The students became noisy as they talked about Lucius’ losing his cool. Some began to assume that he secretly liked Anastasia, while some thought that he was drunk that was why he took advantage of her. The gossips varied, but it all pointed out to one thing: Lucius liked Anastasia!
“Don’t lie. You’re already caught,” she poked his arm.
Lucius’ ears became red and was not able to respond to the ginger-haired lady.
“But apologies, but I do not want to have lovers in my life,” Anastasia told him bluntly.
The blonde young man sighed, “I told you, it’s a misunderstanding. I’ve chosen the wrong words.”
“Oh no, but what should we do? They’re already talking about us,” she rolled her eyes and sighed.
“Gossips will die down, especially if they are not true,” he then turned to Ivory, asking her to go home with him because General Darius had something to give her.
“We’ll be off, then,” Ivory waved at Anastasia and gave a friendly smile.
“See you around!” she replied to her and waved as they left.
When they exited the hall, they saw Lucius’ carriage parked in front. He told Ivory before he rode his carriage, “Then… I’ll be going. See you soon.”
“Huh? I thought our father’s going to give me something?”
“It was a lie. It was just that Anastasia Gaian is just too annoying. Bye then,” Lucius asked the coachman to move forward.
As Ivory and Sigmund watched the carriage leaving, Lycus appeared at the side of the hall. He had just finished his kitchen duties, which was a favor from the principal.
“Are we going home?” he asked.
“Yes, let’s go!” Ivory happily pulled her two Servants’ arms and walked towards where their coach was parked.
