Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 200
As soon as Lucius read the last word, he accidentally dropped the scroll. In just one night, Ivory, who was full of dreams and hopes to become the strongest Master in the Kingdom of Destinia, came to know that she was actually a Servant. He pinched his arm to see if it was just a dream, but apparently, it wasn’t.
Ivory murmured to herself, “I am… I am His Highness’-”
Levi clenched her shoulders, making Ivory face him. “You are right… Take a closer look at my face, we’ve already met in our dreams,” and he gave her a kind smile.
Ivory looked into his eyes, and it was then she realized that he was telling the truth. His brown hair and his distinct calm indigo irises made her remember her odd dreams.
Ivory was sure Levi was really the persistent young man in her dream, the one she was always avoiding and running away from.
“If you drank the holy wine of the Werewolves, then you will never be able to escape your fate. You already became a true member of their pack,” the prince explained, “Your Werewolf abilities awakened, and you will be my Servant whether you like it or not.”
Ivory furrowed her brows. She recalled her vivid dream in the oak forest. Wolfram did make her drink wine when she took an oath of loyalty to the Silverblades. Unfortunately, their conversation was cut off before she even asked more about them.
Levi waited for Ivory’s response.
At that moment, Ivory couldn’t speak, nor could she move. The truth was too much for her to bear, and she wanted to hide from everyone. It should be an honor to become the Silverblade Prince’s Werewolf Servant, but she’s half human. She had dreams and desires of her own.
And most of all, she had Sigmund.
“Prince Levian… About Sigmund…” she uttered, “He’s a bit stubborn, but in reality, he’s actually kind-”
“Whatever you say about that murderer, my opinion won’t change,” he said sternly, almost glaring at her. “And guess what? He also attempted to kill your mother and you while still in her womb!”
“No!” her voice almost raised, “Sigmund wouldn’t do it… Please believe me, some of his memories are gone! He’s not that kind of person-”
“So you believe that Vampire, instead of me, your Master? I’ve longed to meet you, but this is how you treat me?” Levi clenched his fists, “You leave me no choice. I am going to force you to unsummon that Vampire-”
“Please don’t hurt him!” Ivory suddenly knelt on the floor. She placed her hands on his feet, looking up to the sitting prince. “I beg you… I’ll do anything, just don’t make him disappear…”
The moment he saw her desperation, the prince was mad that that situation made him seem like the bad guy. But he was only doing it because he needed Ivory to reclaim the throne, and aside from that, he strongly believed that it was their destiny to be Master and Servant.
Still looking at her while she shed tears like waterfalls, the prince suggested, “How about a deal?”
She looked at him with teary eyes.
“Sever ties with your Servants. Be my full-fledged Servant until I become King,” he gazed at her lonely eyes.
“But… what will happen to them if I sever ties with them?”
“I will let Lycus return to his past Master, and Sigmund will be under our strict supervision until I reclaim the throne. Once we achieve it, I will give you a chance to speak with Goddess Destinia. Ask for her blessing for you and that Vampire’s relationship.”
Ivory clenched her trembling fists.
As Ivory sat in silence in front of Levi, Lucius was quietly observing them. It was good that he also knew about everything so that he could ask their mother what her plans would be once she returns. He would bombard her with numerous questions about her interesting past. That way, Diana would have no choice but to let her son be involved. He thought it would be the blonde young man’s way of protecting his pitiful sister, and his mother, too.
The long meeting ended, and finally, Ivory and the others got out of the principal’s office. As the sound barrier dissipated, Sigmund immediately checked on Ivory, and noticed her puffy eyes.
“Hey… What happened?” the Vampire cupped her chin and took a closer look.
Ivory held his hand and smiled. “Things just got over dramatic.”
“Don’t keep secrets from me. You promised.”
She nodded, “Yes. I’ll tell you once we get home… Come now, we need to check up on Katie’s condition.”
Sigmund noticed how Ivory held his hand tightly as they walked on the hallway. He loved it when she’s having skinship with him, but for some reason, her sad expression was getting him worried.
Ivory never let go of the Vampire’s hand until they reached the clinic. Her mind was clouded with anxiousness, fearing that she might lose her beloved with just a flick of a finger from Prince Levian.
Walking behind them were Lucius, Lycus, and Prince Levian, but they did not comment on her actions.
At that moment, Levi let his Werewolf Servant Ivory be with Sigmund. It was a disappointing sight because she blindly loved the wrong man. The prince knew it was not her fault, and maybe it was not the Vampire’s fault.
Although he wanted to blame the Goddess for giving them a hard life, Levi shook off that thought. What was she doing at the border? Would she help him reclaim the throne personally?
Perhaps something inevitable happened in heaven that drowned the Kingdom of Destinia in chaos. Whatever it was, he’s sure it was serious enough to make Goddess Destinia descend using a mortal’s body.
Prince Levian waited at the door of the clinic with Xenos, while Ivory and the others went straight to where the Sprucemint family was.
When they arrived, Katie was sitting on the clinic’s bed, crying over and over again. “I… I can’t believe I hurt father…” she buried her face in her palm. “How can I do that… I am so stupid…”
“Katie, you were not yourself. Ivory already explained,” Anne said while hugging her and patting her back.
Gordon, whose burn wounds were already cleaned and dressed by the nurse, patted his daughter’s shoulder with his right hand, “Whatever happens, you will always be our daughter, Katie. Why don’t you return home for good?”
Katie pulled away slowly from her mother’s embrace, then nodded, “I was never a good daughter to you… but you still want me to return home? Even if I did a lot of bad things?”
Gracie and Flynn tugged her arm in a playful manner. The two kids told her to come home because they missed her so much.
Hearing her two siblings’ pleas made the stubborn Katie’s iron heart soften. She was touched that even though she was away for quite a long time, her family still welcomed her. The truth was, she actually knew how much they cared for her because they never ceased to write letters to her every week. It was only her who was arrogant and refused to open up to them.
Katie glanced at the side, noticing Ivory’s swollen eyes. “I didn’t make you cry, did I?”
“Katie…” Ivory quickly went forward and hugged her tightly. “I am glad that you’ll be returning home with us. Let’s get along, okay?” she pulled away, then shook hands with her as a sign of peace.
Katie chuckled, feeling a bit better with the peaceful gesture. She told her jokingly while she clenched Ivory’s hand, “How about not getting along, like before?”
“Sounds great. As long as you return home.”
The sisters once again hugged each other, then one by one, the members of the Sprucemint family household went to them, making a group hug.
Afterwards, Ivory asked Katie, “By the way, can you remember what happened before you snapped? What made you feel intense negative emotions?”
“Well… Before your battle started, Helios told me that he wanted to be Ivory’s lover. He even showed me a beautiful ring, saying that he would give it to you. I got mad, and I snatched the ring and wore it… That’s all I can recall.”
“What is the ring’s appearance? Does it have something like a gemstone on it?” Sigmund asked Katie.
She answered, “It has a shiny, black gemstone. If you see it, give it to me-”
“It probably broke after the cleansing ritual,” Ivory voiced out, then saw the disappointment in Katie’s eyes.
“That man Helios is too suspicious,” the Vampire furrowed his brows, “How did you meet him?”
Katie told them that it was actually Helios’ sister, Fiona, who introduced him to her. She was her friend at the painter’s club she joined at Omegalion City.
“Helios is like my art mentor at Prisma Gallery, and we always spend time with each other. He’s a handsome gentleman, a talented guy, a wise person, and his smile is so-”
“Katie! Can you not praise him too much?” Ivory retorted.. “Just tell us the relevant details.”
