Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 203

Ivory and Sigmund walked by foot to Rubia Town. They passed by the border guards, showing Ivory’s enchanted scroll indicating that she was a graduate of Qawiun Academy. They arrived in the busy town around noontime, and the first thing they did was find a house for rent.

The two of them inquired to some merchants in the marketplace, until they were recommended to go to the small community. There was a really cheap cottage, but it was located at the far back of the community, near Rubia Forest. It was an isolated space.

Hearing this, Ivory and Sigmund agreed, wanting to actually be far from other people.  They handed out 100 silver coins to the old woman who owned the small cottage, and she led them there. When they went inside, they realized that it would need a lot of cleaning!

“We also offer cleaning services for 50 silver coins,” the old woman said with a grin.

“Ah, we can clean by ourselves,” Ivory replied, trying to be polite, “Thank you. You may leave, we’re worried about your health because it is dusty here.”

As soon as the old woman departed, Ivory let out a sigh.

“You’re good at finding excuses,” Sigmund chuckled.

“Meanie!” Ivory yelled jokingly. When she found a broom at the side of the living room, she ran towards it and threw it to Sigmund.

“How brazen of you, Ivory. Asking your lover to clean,” he said as he stared at her, then walked towards her direction.

Ivory was then cornered, “You should do your part! You sweep the floors, and I’ll remove the vines on the walls outside!”

Sigmund stared long at her, before she kissed her on the forehead, “Let’s clean this shitty house quickly so we can rest.”

Ivory agreed with him, then they got busy with their tasks. When Ivory stepped out, Sigmund used Air magic to gather all the dust in one place. Then, he used Water magic to mop the floor and clean the walls, and a little bit of Fire magic to warm up the room and dry it.

Ivory, on the other hand, manually pulled the vines. And when she got wounded because she did not notice that some vines had thorns, the Vampire ran towards her.

Sigmund held her hand and sipped the oozing blood from her pointing finger. Every time he licked her, Ivory shivered, and she let out a weak moan.

“Can’t wait?” he smirked at her.

“What are you talking about, I- Hey, you should be cleaning! What are you doing here?” she changed the topic as she blushed.

“Obviously, replenishing my mana.”

Ivory then pulled her hand away from him and ran towards the house. She was shocked to see that it was already squeaky clean!

“Aren’t I amazing?” Sigmund uttered.

Ivory knew that it was in his nature to want to be praised by his Master. “Yes, Sigmund, you’re amazing. That’s why I fell in love with you…”

When Ivory realized that she said something too sweet, she covered her mouth with her hands, and her cheeks turned red like a rose.

Sigmund found Ivory cute when embarrassed. He teased her even more before they finally decided to finish cleaning the whole house, including the exterior.

Because there was no furniture inside, Sigmund went with Ivory to the forest to gather leaves using Air magic. Fortunately, there were no town guards around, or else they’d be caught.

As soon as they returned to their house, Sigmund took all the leaves on one part of the bedroom. “Let’s gather wood tomorrow and make decent furniture,” he suggested.

Ivory nodded. Suddenly, her stomach growled!

The Vampire chuckled, “Shall we head over to the marketplace and look for something delicious?”

“Yes!” she linked her arms onto him and with a big smile, they went outside.

It was nearly sunset, yet the marketplace was still crowded. Rubia Town is famous as the center of commerce, and goods from all over the kingdom were taken there for merchant trade.

While Ivory searched for meat, Sigmund looked at jewelries. Aside from being vigilant to assess if black gemstones would bring out red glow in reaction to their Dark Mana, he also wanted to give his beloved a present. But he knew that they should not buy something expensive because of their current poor status.

It wasn’t long until they found food – something so cheap, yet inexpensive. In one part of the marketplace was a stall offering grilled pork. They bought some for supper and returned to their humble abode.

Aside from food, they also bought some candles, blankets, and pillows. They took these items home, then prepared a barrel to store clean water.

They had a simple, yet fun supper talking about their adventures together in front of the bonfire, just outside their house. It was Ivory who first reminisced as she stared at the burning wood, and Sigmund wondered why she was a bit dramatic.

He guessed that maybe her actions were related to Prince Levian. Did he say anything to Ivory that made her decide to run away?

When Sigmund asked this, Ivory nodded at him, but she changed the topic.

The Vampire then said in a deep voice, “Ivory. Stop keeping it from me,” his red irises glowed as he felt intense emotions, “Spill it. What did that kid tell you?”

“He’s no kid, he’s Prince Levian. Watch your words, Sigmund, we can’t have him as an enemy…”

His eyes stopped glowing once he saw the frightened look on Ivory’s face. Did the prince threaten her or something?

Ivory then uttered, “Can we not talk about this? How about forgetting them all, and just enjoy the following days with me?” she then moved closer to Sigmund. She extended her arms on his shoulder and kissed him deeply.

Because Ivory did that, Sigmund couldn’t speak further. It was obvious that his Master wanted him not to ask for details. It was a kiss to make him shut up.

The couple then decided to rest for the day. In the dim bedroom wherein the window was opened, the moonlight served as their candle.

Sigmund said, “Change into your sleepwear, Ivory. We cleaned the house, so our clothes are dirty.”

“Yes,” she answered in a soft voice.

The Vampire widened his eyes when she suddenly stripped in front of him. The moonlight illuminated Ivory’s fair skin, and upon seeing this Sigmund couldn’t help himself but gulp. He felt his pants tighten, and he knew he might not control himself.

“Sigmund…” she approached him and caressed his cheek. “I love you so much.”

“Ivory… I love you, too.”

The Vampire placed a sound barrier in the room, then wrapped his arms around her. He pulled her naked body closer to him, and pecked her in the lips, cheeks, and neck.

It wasn’t long until he succumbed to his bloodlust. With glowing crimson red irises, Sigmund bit her neck and drank her blood like a thirsty man.

The two of them did not stop themselves from making love as if there was no tomorrow. And after that steamy night, they laid down on the makeshift bed made of leaves, in the comfort of each other’s warmth.

…

Two weeks went on by, and Ivory and Sigmund were slowly getting used to their life like a married couple. They gathered fruits in the forest and sold them to the marketplace. Ivory also crafted some wooden beads, and made cute bracelets. These were very liked by the peasants and the middle class, so these were always sold out.

Sigmund thought they’d live peacefully together forever. Ivory said that it was her dream, to be with him forever even though she would only be the one who’d grow old. The Vampire assured her that he would take care of her even though she’d have wrinkles, and teased how she might pee in her pants.

Although everything seemed fine, Sigmund knew that there was something wrong behind Ivory’s smiles. Whenever he asked about what was bothering her, she would just brush it off and said she wanted to make the most of their days and not care about anything at all.

Until one day, he woke up without Ivory by his side. It was odd, as a Servant, he never slept, unless he was casted on a sleeping spell.

He saw a scroll resting on the pillow.

In panic, Sigmund unrolled it, and he saw his beloved’s handwriting in black ink.

“My love, I may have left, but my heart will only be yours. Whatever happens and wherever I go, remember that I love you so much.

Apologies if I couldn’t tell you what has been bothering me. I only want us to have happy memories before I leave for a long time.

Please do not be stubborn, and wait for me until Prince Levian becomes king… I promise, I will return to you when that happens.”

The Vampire’s eyes glowed, and in despair he shattered Ivory’s letter into pieces. Although Ivory told him she would return, he was not that crazy to be patient. Reclaiming Prince Levian’s throne would mean that a war would break. With such a dangerous event that would happen, Sigmund was too worried for his beloved.

But when he was about to leave the bedroom, his eyes widened as he felt a powerful, invisible barrier blocking his way. Aside from blocking his path, the barrier also prevented him from using magic.

A few seconds later, Levi came with Xenos.

“Prince Levian,” his eyes stopped glowing, “Where is Ivory?”

“She’s in the carriage. She agreed to my request that we’re going to defeat the Dragonicus clan together,” Levi said in a cold tone. “I am taking her with me, so be a good boy and wait here.”

Shocked with the Prince’s announcement, he dropped the honorifics and yelled at him, “What the hell? She’s not going with you! Bring her back to me, she’s my everything!”

He glared at the Vampire Servant, intense anger could be seen in his colored eyes, “This is my revenge on you. You took my family away from me, so now…. I will take your everything.”
