Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 202
[Author’s note: Don’t get confused! Fiora = Topazeon Town, Fiona = Prisma City]
Katie paused for a long while. She liked Helios for three years, doubting if she would be able to turn her back against him and spill his details to her family. But as soon as she panned her sight towards her father’s bandaged shoulder, she decided she’d help Ivory and her companions. Katie cleared his throat before she spoke, “From what I know, Helios’ mother is a jewelry maker, while his father is unknown.”
Sigmund crossed his arms. “The mother’s a jewelry maker? Now, I am even more suspicious of that Helios…” he explained as he thought about the black gemstones embedded on jewelries. The Vampire analyzed the situation, “Look, Katie met Fiona when she was in Omegalion City, even though there are many painters’ clubs at Prisma City. Why bother coming this far?”
They all nodded.
Ivory added, “You’re right, Sigmund. I think, from the start, they already knew that Katie’s connected to me…”
The principal, who had a brief meeting with the Educators regarding assisting the prince, just arrived by the door. He noticed Prince Levian and Xenos leaning on the wall.
“Your Highness, Xenos, why are you here outside? Why don’t you go in?”
Levi shook his head. “No need… By the way, I need to talk to you.”
Hearing this, the principal nodded, and together with Xenos, the three of them walked on the hallway. They went to the principal’s office and placed a sound barrier, before talking about Ivory’s real identity, and how she would be treated from now on.
Moments later, the Sprucemint family rode the carriage to Greensteid Town. Principal Arthurdane’s messenger told Ivory and the others to not wait for the Principal, Prince Levian, and Xenos.
And so, the Sprucemint family rode in one big carriage with four horses, while Ivory and her two Servants rode a smaller one. Lucius bid goodbye to them, then was called over to the principal’s office to join their meeting.
When the Sprucemint family arrived at their house, Katie widened her eyes at the sight of their house. As far as she remembered it was not that cozy and nice!
“General Goldwine sponsored to renovate our house? But why would he do that?” Katie asked as she assisted his father inside the house.
Gordon responded, “The truth is… Ivory is the General’s daughter.”
“WHAT!?” she glanced at Ivory, who just smiled at her. “You’re a noble! What are you still doing here instead of the Goldwine mansion?!”
“I can’t make myself leave, Katie. This is my home, and it will never change.”
“You’re too sentimental. If I were you I’d enjoy the perks of being the General’s daughter,” she jokingly rolled her eyes.
“But I am not you, Katie,” Ivory laughed. She then pinched her cheeks and said, “You know, this house is better with you. It’s more lively!”
“You just want to say that I am noisy! You can’t fool me with your words!” Katie pouted, which made the others laugh.
Afterwards, the Sprucemint family spent a few more minutes telling how things have been since she left. Ivory also told her that she had two Servants, Lycus and Sigmund because she had two types of mana. Katie said that she didn’t care, but when she learned that they’ve been doing household chores and harvesting fruits, she suddenly gave them a friendly smile. In her mind, she had plans on giving all her chores to both of them!
After catching up, the Sprucemint family went to their room and slept. While their happiness continued in their dreams, Ivory, Sigmund, and Lycus conversed in the attic bedroom.
Ivory opened an empty, big duffel bag and started choosing clothes and underwear from her closet. Both of her Servants looked at her with confused expressions.
Noticing this in her peripheral view, she said, “Sigmund, pack your things.”
“Huh? Where are we going?” the Vampire asked confusingly.
“I’ll tell you later. Just do as I say.”
Seeing Ivory serious with her request, Sigmund took the empty knapsack from her closet and put in some of his things. However, he couldn’t help himself wonder if her actions were related to what happened inside the principal’s office.
Lycus, who was not asked to pack his things, just stared at Ivory and Sigmund. He didn’t even have to ask anything to her. He knew what she was trying to do.
Closing the full duffel bag, Ivory turned to Lycus and told him that they needed to go.
Lycus nodded at her and opened the window. “Master, Vampire… Take care,” he said.
“Thank you so much, Lycus,” Ivory gave him a tight embrace. “Please look after my family.”
He nodded, and Ivory stroked his head, saying that he trusts him and he already knows what to do.
Sigmund first jumped down, and when he was ready to catch Ivory, he gave a thumbs up gesture.
Ivory, confident that the Vampire Servant would catch her, jumped down. As expected, Sigmund caught her safely in his arms.
After her beloved brought her down to the ground, Ivory waved her hand as she looked up to Lycus at the attic’s window. Then, she and Sigmund started walking towards the main road out of Greensteid Town.
“Hey… Where are we going?” Sigmund asked after a long silence.
She turned her head towards him and replied, “Anywhere… somewhere where no one knows about us. We’ll run away from all this mess.”
When Sigmund heard this, he was excited, but at the same time bothered. He was excited because it would be his chance to spend his everyday life with Ivory, but he was also bothered because of the way Ivory looked at him in a sad expression.
They promised not to keep secrets. But what was it? What was bothering Ivory that her eyes seemed lifeless?
When he was about to ask, Ivory suddenly held Sigmund’s hand tightly. She never let him go until they reached the border of the Land of Olivea.
It took them a long time before deciding on where to stay. At the end of their debate, they chose the first town nearest the border of the Land of Rosaria – Rubia, the town of merchants!
