Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 204

Sigmund gritted his teeth in anger. Why was he being punished for something that he knew to himself he did not do?

Xenos told Sigmund in a kind tone, “Apologies, but we need Miss Sprucemint.”

“If you need more powerful ones, just take me with you, damn it! You might need my help in the war!”

Prince Levian glowered at him before he asked Xenos to guard him along with their other comrades. Afterwards, Xenos made a sound barrier for the whole house.

“Prince Levian!!!” the Vampire called again and again, but it was no use.

The prince entered the carriage, and he sat in front of Ivory. To his surprise, she seemed calm and composed.

“Your Highness… Thank you for giving me some time,” she told him while she looked at him.

In one of her dreams, after she ran away, Ivory met Levian. The prince made an addition to his deal, which made her grab the opportunity right away.

Levi promised to help investigate the murders inside the Silverblade Castle years ago. He also promised that if found innocent, he would make a decree that Sigmund would be a free man, without any crimes. That way, those who witnessed him kill would know that he had been proven innocent.

“You made the right decision, Ivory. I promise you, I’ll treat you more than just a Servant, but a human and a friend as well. If there’s anything you want, like jewelries and good clothes, I can-”

“Your Highness, Sigmund is the only one I want.”

“You know you can’t have him, unless Goddess Destinia really permits you.”

“I know, but still I…” tears started falling from her eyes. The strong front she had been covering to herself had now shattered, showing her true emotions.

Levi watched her cry and couldn’t find the right words to say to her. After all, he’s the reason why she got separated from her beloved Vampire.

He then asked the coachman to take them to Valios City.

Using Xenos’ connection with the knights and Royal Knights, Levi’s allies were able to replace the knights around the Sanctuary ever since they talked about their tactics. They were also able to distinguish and communicate with the Silverblade clan’s supporters around the Kingdom while searching for Ivory.

As soon as Ivory went inside the Sanctuary, she was shocked to see that it was crowded. “Is there a gathering or a ritual?” Ivory asked the prince.

“They’re here to welcome you,” Levi responded. “Come with me.”

She was led to the prayer room where the statue of Goddess Destinia was. Behind the statue was a colorful mosaic window with the Goddess’ image.

“Ivory, dear!” a blonde woman ran towards her and hugged her tightly.

“Miss Diana…” She widened her eyes at the sight of her mother whom she had not yet seen for a long time. She embraced her as well.

“My daughter, call me mother from now on, okay?” Diana pulled away and gazed at Ivory’s light blue irises, “Have you been well?”

“I…” Ivory wanted to answer with a yes, but she did not want to lie. After all, she remembered that in the Sanctuary, it is not allowed to be untruthful.

“Ivory,” a man’s voice was heard.

When she turned around, she was shocked to see a handsome man with silver colored hair, and a pair of wolf ears. She recognized him as the Alpha wolf she met in the oak forest, but this time, he wore a plain white tunic.

“Sir Wolfram-”

“Call me father from now on.”

Ivory widened her eyes when she realized that the friendly wolf she met in the oak forest had become intimidating.

“Your Eminence, the table has been prepared for the feast,” one of the disciples said.

“Alright,” he said, then told the people in the room to follow him.

While they walked in the hallway, Ivory kept on staring at Wolfram. She wanted to ask about a lot of things, but somehow, the change in his attitude towards her made her hesitate.

In a small room that seemed like a prayer room, a hidden door was situated behind the altar. Inside that room was a spacious dining hall. The room was full of candle-lit chandeliers, and in the middle was a wagon garden planter with a big spider plant surrounded by small evergreen shrubs.

Wolfram sat in the middle, while Ivory was ordered to sit beside him on the right. On the left of Wolfram was Prince Levi, while on the other side of Ivory was Diana. The other seats were occupied by the other members of the pack, as well as the disciples.

Priestess Althaia who had just arrived sat in the vacant seat beside Diana. She greeted her, as well as the others. When the holy wine was served, she rose up from her seat and lifted the wine glass.

The silver-haired priestess announced, “We are all gathered here tonight for three things. First, for Prince Levi’s safe return.”

She raised her glass towards the Prince, which was followed by the pack and other disciples. Prince Levi raised his glass as well before drinking his wine.

Priestess Althaia continued, “Second, for His Eminence and the fallen pack’s presence.”

The wolf pack bowed down their heads in front of Wolfram and he raised his hand with a smile. Ivory was told to bow her head as well, in respect to his father.

“And third, for the official welcoming of His Eminence’s daughter, Ivory,” the priestess smiled at Ivory, who showed a subtle smile. She looked around the room and saw the pack bowing their heads at her. The Prince and her father Wolfram raised their glass when the priestess called her name.

Servants are not required to eat, however, that feast was a formality and a celebration. They all took a sip, except for Ivory, who just stared at the wine glass she held.

“What’s wrong?” Diana asked in a worried tone.

“What kind of wine is this…” Ivory murmured, bothered with the last time she drank the wine offered by the Werewolves. Because of that certain wine, her Werewolf abilities awakened, and she didn’t want more things to happen to her.

“Drink it. You are disrespecting our pack and the Prince,” Wolfram ordered.

Ivory saw him look at her with disdain, and so she forced herself to sip on the wine.

When Wolfram saw her disappointed reaction, he told her, “From now on, you are going to live your life with honor as Prince Levian’s Werewolf Servant and as my daughter.”

Hearing this, Ivory’s brows creased, then glanced at the prince. He did not even bother to look at her and just munched his food. Either he was pretending not to hear the Alpha wolf’s statement, or he was just too hungry.

Ivory only wanted to ask her Master about it. Did Wolfram know about his deal with her regarding Sigmund?

She decided to tell the truth to him, “There is something I want you to know, father. Actually, I am-”

“Later… Let’s talk about it after the feast.”

Ivory nodded, then took the knife and grazed on the savory medium-rare steak on her plate.

While they ate, a disciple suddenly announced, “Mister Lucius Goldwine has arrived.”

Ivory quickly got up from her seat and ran towards Lucius. She hugged him tightly and cried, “Lucius… Help me, I-” she paused, realizing that there were many fallen Werewolves in the hall, who had both heightened hearing and smell. They might think that she hated her own clan.

When Ivory pulled away from her half brother, she gave a sad expression, hoping to get her message across. She wanted to tell him that she didn’t know what to do.

Lucius, being a sensitive person, knew that Ivory was not alright. Although she could finally reunite with the Werewolf pack, she looked like she did not belong at all.

Diana stood up and walked towards them. She told everyone not to mind them and to just continue eating or chatting.

“Mother…” Lucius creased his brow, “You made us worried. You should have at least left a note.”

Diana patted her son’s shoulder. “Apologies, my son. I was in a hurry. I had to go to one of the oak forests at a specific time.”

She also explained that Goddess Destinia appeared to her dream, and the heavenly being told Diana that she was the key to the Werewolves’ summoning to the Kingdom.

Seconds later, Wolfram also went to them. He greeted Lucius with a friendly gesture and shook his hand. “Thank you for taking care of my daughter.”

Lucius was quite intimidated with the Alpha wolf’s light blue irises, which were far too similar with Ivory’s. He said, “No problem, Sir. It is my responsibility as her brother.”

“Please join us. We reserved a seat for you.”

Lucius thanked him, and followed the disciple who led him towards the vacant seat beside Prince Levian. Ivory and her parents went back to their seats in the same row.

As soon as Lucius met the prince’s eyes, he politely greeted him and sat down.

“Good day, Mister Goldwine.”

“Hello, Your Highness. Good day to you as well,” Lucius smiled, then took a slab of steak onto his empty plate.

Levi asked him as he watched him eat, “Be honest with me. You don’t want Ivory to become my Servant, do you?”
