Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 193

Lycus was dumbfounded as well. He thought he wouldn’t see the woman again, “Master- I mean… Miss Daphne…”

Ivory looked at Physician Daphne and Lycus, who couldn’t get their eyes away from each other.

“Uhm excuse me,” Ivory patted Lycus’ shoulder, “What is happening?”

The female physician wiped her tears with her fingers, “Uhh… Apologies. I haven’t seen him for a very, very long time, so…”

“Miss Daphne is my past Master,” Lycus explained, “And Miss Daphne, this is Miss Ivory, my current Master.”

“A new Master? I thought you couldn’t-”

“His Eminence permitted it…” Lycus saw Ivory and the others staring curiously at him, “Let us talk about it after the check up. For now, please take a look at Master Ivory’s allergy.”

Daphne finally calmed down, “I apologize, that was unprofessional of me… Let me see your allergy, miss.”

Ivory carefully removed the cloth covering her face and tucked her hair behind both of her ears.

As soon as the physician saw this, she gasped, “This is insane…” she murmured. She examined one side of her ear first, then the other side.

“Do you feel any more pain in your body aside from your ears?”

“My nose… It’s not painful, but I recently had a cold… I kept on sniffing because my nose is somewhat moist all the time.”

“I see…” Using a quill recently dipped in black ink, Physician Daphne wrote down Ivory’s descriptions on a blank scroll.

Ivory described the ringing in her ears, and how she sometimes hears things, as if she had heightened hearing. She also told her that she would sometimes smell a scent far from her, as if she had heightened smell.

But she also voiced out that it might just be her imagination, because it was impossible for her to have those abilities. “Maybe I was just hallucinating or something…”

As Daphne wrote everything down, a serious look was evident on her face.

“Physician, is there something wrong?” Ivory asked worriedly, seeing her reaction.

“Yes… This is a very rare case,” she responded. The physician also seemed to be in deep thought before speaking again, “Let me just take a look at my reference scroll. I will just look for an herbal medicine formula.”

Physician Daphne stood up and walked towards the shelf at the back. She panned her sight on every one of the wooden tags attached on the numerous scrolls, and when she found what she was looking for, she unrolled it, and copied down the medication in the scroll where she wrote.

“Buy these flowers, leaves, and nuts in the herbal store in front of this clinic. You will need a handful of them in order to gain a small bottle of salve for you to use in a week. That’s for your ears,” she explained, “And for your nose, drink warm peppermint tea after breakfast and supper. Come back to me after a week for a follow up check-up.” After making sure that the ink had dried, she rolled the scroll and tied it with a jute string before giving it to Ivory.

“Thank you so much, Physician Daphne!” Ivory exclaimed, shaking the female physician’s hand repeatedly.

Afterwards, Lucius assisted Ivory to wear back her cloth cover. He, Sigmund, and Ivory went out to buy the prescription herbs, while Lycus chose to stay to speak with his previous Master. The clinic was closed for a while, and Lycus casted a sound barrier while he and Daphne spoke.

“Lycus, I know now why she became your Master, and how it was possible. After seeing her condition, she’s really His Eminence’s daughter,” Daphne furrowed her brows, “But if she’s his daughter, why is she…”

“She has a birthmark of Destinia,” Lycus said. “Master- I mean… Miss Daphne, she still didn’t know about her true origins. She refused to know.”

“But why?”

“It’s not my place to say it. I should not speak about that matter, because I am sure it will only bring problems to my Master. I apologize.”

The female physician shook her head, “I understand. She’s your Master now, it’s only natural… So, uhh, enough about your Master, I want to know about you,” Daphne placed her hand on his cheek, “How did you escape the castle prison?”

Lycus mentioned his struggles during the past years ever since he broke her contract with her. He mentioned how he was caught by the roaming knights in the Land of Olivea, and how they tortured him in the castle prison.

Physician Daphne asked Lycus to stop talking if it would only make him recall the pain he had gone through back then.

But now as a full fledged Servant, the negative emotions that Lycus felt were lacking. He told her about it, that he was only telling her the details based on what he remembered, without feeling anything.

Daphne cried and cried that moment, asking for Lycus’ forgiveness, telling him that she failed as his Master. She regretted that she sent him to the castle for a long-time errand to the King. Her tears shed like waterfalls while she embraced her past Servant very tightly.

Two hours later, Ivory, Lucius, and Sigmund returned to the clinic to fetch Lycus. Lucius gave her a small pouch of silver coins, and Ivory thanked her for her help. She said that she’d come back a week later for a follow up check-up, as suggested.

As soon as Ivory and her companions left the area, Daphne closed the clinic since her assistant already went home.

A sudden knock on the front door startled her.

“The clinic is closed!” she yelled. “Apologies, but come back tomorrow!”

“Cousin Daphne. It’s me, Levian.”

When she heard this, she quickly unlocked the door and couldn’t believe whom she was seeing in front of her. A familiar brown-haired politely nodded and smiled at the teary eyed physician.

“Levian… Prince Levian…” Daphne uttered as she burst into tears, “I thought you were gone, I… I am so happy to see you!” she gave a tight hug to her cousin.

“Likewise. Did you get my letter?” he patted her back and looked at her.

“I did. I just did not expect you to come sooner.”

Levian, with Xenos behind him, entered the clinic. Daphne closed the door and made sure that the windows were closed. The prince casted a sound barrier before they chatted about their grand plan on bringing down King Yama Dragonicus and his greedy allies.

Meanwhile, at the inn, Ivory and the others had just returned.

“Go buy food at the marketplace,” Lucius told Sigmund. He gave him a pouch of silver coins.

“I know you’re rich, but you just don’t go on throwing your coin pouch at random people and ask them to buy things,” Sigmund retorted.

“You are not a random person. I am specifically asking you to buy food, Vampire.”

“Why me? Lycus is better at errands-”

“Sigmund, you’re treating Lycus indifferently again. I told you to treat him as your brother!” Ivory crossed her arms. “Punishment for you… You go with Lycus at the marketplace!”

“But that’s a bit far-”

“Go, go, go!” Ivory jokingly pushed Sigmund towards the door, and Lycus chuckled at the funny scene.

Lucius made sure that the Servants were out of sight, and that they already walked away quite far. He then went towards Ivory, who was sitting on her chosen bed.

“Excuse me, do you have a minute?” Lucius politely said and got a nod as a response.

The blonde young man sat beside Ivory, then took out the forbidden scroll that his father gave him. “Can you open this for me?”

“Uhm… How?” she asked confusingly as she took the scroll from him.

“Just concentrate your mana on the scroll,” he explained.

“Hmm… Okay, then!”

With that, Ivory followed what Lucius had told her. She first used her normal mana, but it wouldn’t open.

“I can’t…”

“I know, maybe your other mana can. Please try again,” he waited patiently.

Ivory also did what she was told, but it did not work. Unfortunately, the harder she tried, the more pain she felt in her hands, like she was being electrocuted.

“Ahh, I really can’t, Lucius. I apologize, I guess I am too weak for that strong locking spell,” she sighed.

“It’s alright. It’s not your fault…”

Ivory was confused as she stared at the scroll, but Lucius was the more confused one.

Did his father get it wrong? Was Ivory not the late King’s daughter?

If not, who is Ivory’s real father, and why did their mother Diana hide it, to the point that Ivory’s birth information scroll was locked with a spell?

Lucius knew that if he wanted answers, he should just find someone who could surely open the forbidden scroll.

And that person is Prince Levian!
