Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 199

“Yes. We formed a contract.” Sigmund replied to the prince with a serious expression.

“What- That’s ridiculous!” Levi laughed out loud. “If you chose to lie to me, make it believable, at least.”

“Uhh… Apologies for cutting your conversation, but Ivory summoned Sigmund during the Summoning Ritual, and everyone saw it,” Principal Arthurdane explained.

Xenos also added, “I would like to add into it. She went with him to Gallean Town and that’s where we first met, when we defeated Euphorie, who was infested with the Dark Mana… I was actually informed he was of the Spirit Class.”

Levi panned his sight around them, and that’s when he realized that Anastasia was right. It was a really complicated situation.

He knew he shouldn’t outright reveal Ivory’s real identity. He still needed to know who among the bunch of people in front of him he could trust.

And Sigmund’s out of his list.

Lycus stayed quiet behind Ivory and Sigmund. At that moment, he wanted to say a lot of things to the Silverblade prince, but he couldn’t find the courage to do it. The Werewolf Servant wanted to seek Levi’s help regarding his Master’s situation, but his loyalty to his Ivory was stopping him from doing so.

Levi noticed Lycus, who was oddly quiet. He also noticed his similar silver hair, “You… Are you a…”

Lycus nodded. He gave him a ‘please keep quiet’ gesture, which the prince immediately understood.

“This is troublesome,” Levi muttered, scratching the back of his head.

Seconds later, Lucius came running towards them, “The audience are all gone, they’re all safe-” he stopped his tracks when he saw an unfamiliar face, “Ah, apologies, I didn’t know you had guests.”

“This is Prince Levian Silverblade,” the principal told him.

Lucius gaped in awe. Finally, the Prince had arrived, and he looked forward to asking him a lot of questions. He bowed to him, “I pay respects to the Silverblade prince.”

“No need for formalities. And please call me Levi, as I have been living as a commoner.”

The blond young man smiled at him, “I shall follow your orders.”

“You are?”

“I am Lucius Goldwine. Son of General Darius Goldwine and his wife Diana.”

“It’s good to meet you.”

Lucius glanced at Ivory, who seemed bothered. He told the prince, “I see you have met my sister.”

“Your sister?” the prince was confused. There was no other woman there with them, but Ivory.

“Yes, Ivory is my sister. Is something wrong-”

“But how is she your sister?!” Levi yelled, making them surprised, “Explain everything to me!”

Lucius observed how the Prince was enraged when he knew about Ivory being his sister. But what was the reason? Whatever it was, he had to uncover the truth.

“Your Highness… Can we talk privately?” he asked politely.

Judging by Lucius’ gaze, Levi knew something was up. He calmed himself down and nodded in response, and the two of them borrowed the principal’s office to talk.

The moment that Lucius and the prince entered the Principal’s office, the first thing they did was to close the door and casted a sound barrier. Both sat on blue velvet-covered sofas opposite each other, which were located in the middle of the room.

From his pocket, Lucius placed the forbidden scroll on top of the wooden coffee table. He told Levi, “I was told that only the direct descendants of the late Silverblade King can open this.”

“And this is?” Levi grabbed the scroll and studied it while waiting for his response.

“My sister’s birth information.”

The prince nodded at him, and he followed Lucius’ instructions on how to unlock the spell. He focused his Silverblade mana onto the scroll, and in just a minute, the string disappeared, and the scroll unrolled on its own.

Word by word, Levi read the content. As he did, he furrowed his brows, and paused for a long while to think.

Noticing this, the blond young man asked, “Your Highness?”

“Call your sister, and the man with silver hair,” he ordered.

Lucius nodded. “How about Ivory’s Vampire Servant?”

“No. Tell him to wait.”

After Lucius opened the door for them, Ivory and Lycus entered. He blocked Sigmund’s path, “Apologies. It is instructed by the Prince that you wait here.”

“No way, I-”

“Sigmund… I am serious,” he looked at the Vampire intently.

The way Lucius stared at him made him shut his mouth. He seemed anxious, and whatever it was, he was sure it was related to Ivory. But what was it?

How could he know, if they put on a sound barrier?

“Please wait here. Do not anger the prince.”

Sigmund sighed, before he nodded at him and closed the door. He knew that the prince was furious at him for thinking that he was the one who killed his family, and he understood that part. Unfortunately, he had to endure it for now because there was no evidence to prove his innocence yet.

Back at the office, Ivory sat beside Prince Levi, while Lycus sat beside Lucius.

Levi handed over the scroll to Ivory, “This is your birth information.”

Ivory hesitated, for she remembered what Lycus said back then: “If I tell you the truth, you and Sigmund might not be able to handle it… I am sure it will bring a wedge between the two of you!”

Recalling that statement, the silver-haired Master glanced at her Werewolf Servant with a confused expression.

Lycus stared at her, not saying anything. What could they do? If the prince already gave the scroll, then she had no other choice. The loyal Werewolf Servant wondered if she could handle the truth. But whatever her decision would be, he promised himself that he would honor it.

Ivory’s hands trembled while she gripped the scroll in her hands. For some reason, she couldn’t bring herself to open it.

Levi asked, peering into her light blue irises, “What’s wrong?”

“This… I can’t…”

“Why? You can tell me what’s bothering you,”

reached out to her hand.

The moment he touched her, Ivory felt shivers down her spine. She began talking without hesitation, as if something’s telling her not to disobey the man in front of her. It was then that she figured out: her body might have reacted to Levi’s mana.

“I’d rather die than know the truth,” Ivory voiced out with a weak voice.

Levi raised his brow, “Why do you refuse to know the truth?”

“Lycus said… that the truth will affect mine and Sigmund’s relationship.”

“Aren’t you overreacting? Why would you rather die if he’s just a mere Servant of yours?”

“Because I love Sigmund… as a lover.”

Levi immediately pulled his hand away when he heard the shocking truth.

Ivory, dumbfounded with what she had just said, covered her mouth, “What… what happened? Why did I-”

“I used my authority to make you speak, with the help of my mana. It is something that only a true Silverblade King could do,” the prince answered in an assertive tone. He then grabbed the scroll from Ivory’s hands. He unrolled it and put it right in front of her face. “I want you to face the truth… This is your fate!”

The silver-haired woman widened her eyes, not believing the words in front of her sight. Seeing the names of her real parents, Ivory’s tears started to roll down her cheeks.

“Mother… Deshanna Fogheart. Father… Wolfram of the Werewolf Class?”

Lycus saw how confused she was, so he explained, “Miss Deshanna changed her name to Diana when she hid in the General’s mansion. At that time, you were in her womb.”

“Lycus… This was the truth that I refused to know all this time?”

The Werewolf Servant nodded at her.

“Deshanna Fogheart… isn’t that the name of Sigmund’s past Master? And Wolfram… isn’t he the late King’s Werewolf Servant? What is happening!?”

Ivory knew that logically, it wouldn’t be possible.

Unless, someone high up above interfered with them.

Ivory broke down and cried. At times like these, the truth should have already set her free, but it was the opposite. She only felt like she entered a cage of loneliness, and she could only be freed if she’d perish.

“Sigmund hates Werewolves, and I am one of them…” she murmured to herself.

Levi saw how the silver-haired woman was drowning in self-pity. Nevertheless, she had to face the truth. If she wouldn’t learn about it today, she would still be forced to face it someday. It would be best for her to know it sooner, especially that they needed to face the evil reigning King.

The Silverblade prince said, “I will read the other parts of the scroll-”

“No, stop! Please!” Ivory wailed as she hurriedly reached out for the scroll.

But Levi threw it to Lucius and told him while he blocked Ivory with his arm, “Read it out loud, please.”

“Yes…” Lucius glanced at his pitiful sister, whose eyes were already red and puffy.

Levi gripped Ivory’s shoulders, preventing her from going to her younger brother and taking away the scroll from him.

“Uhh…” the blond young man cleared his throat. “The lower part of the scroll is a contract.. It says that the child of Wolfram and Deshanna will be Prince Levian’s… Servant.”
