Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 208
Seeing Ivory’s dumbfounded face, Lucius asked, “Don’t tell me you forgot Sigmund?”
“Of course I didn’t. Why are you even asking me that?” she chuckled, “He was my Vampire Servant, wasn’t he? But I already cut ties with him, and also Lycus.”
Lucius creased his brows when he heard how indifferent she was to the Vampire. It was unusual. He clarified to her, “Ivory, he’s more than just your Servant. You loved him as your lover-”
“Ivory, there you are!” Wolfram suddenly appeared, together with Prince Levian.
“Father! Master!” Ivory hopped happily towards them.
Levi patted her head, then said, “How about I replenish your mana? Come with me to my room.”
Ivory nodded, then waved at Lucius. Levi, on the other hand, glared at him, before he walked away with Ivory.
“I thought you already accepted your sister’s fate,” Wolfram told Lucius.
“I thought so too, but I was wrong. How can I bear to see her lose her humanity?”
“You talk as if we did something bad to her. I am her father, and I know what’s better for her.”
Lucius sighed, “You won’t understand because you’re not human.”
“I may not be a human, but I know what is wrong and what is right. And the right thing to do is to prevent Ivory from falling in love with that Vampire. It will only bring her an unfortunate fate,” Wolfram explained, “You’re her good brother, I am sure you know how it felt to see Ivory be intimate with a person she shouldn’t be with.”
A subtle pain pierced through his chest when he heard Wolfram’s words. He’s right; he was strongly against Ivory and Sigmund. He even made sure that the two of them wouldn’t sleep together back in Topazeon, and made Sigmund do a lot of odd jobs, hoping he’d give up on her.
Now, Ivory’s feelings for her lover fell into slumber as her human desires were also swept away. Lucius should be happy, but instead, he felt heartbroken.
He knew his sister well. If Ivory knew that she would forget about her feelings for him, she would never agree to the ritual!
“I am disappointed in you and everyone, sir Wolfram,” Lucius clenched his fists. “Before Ivory met the Prince, she was my friend and my sister.”
Wolfram said in a serious tone, “So you think we’re wrong? I hope you put this into mind and remember that Ivory was born as the Prince’s destined Servant, and it’s of utmost importance.”
Lucius glared at the Alpha wolf. “So what if she’s Levi’s destined Servant? The times she spent with us and the memories we shared will never be replaced. You’re all unfair to her.”
“I am taking it easy on you only because you’re Deshanna’s son… But I suggest you sleep now and rest your confused mind, before you say anything else to offend us,” then the Alpha wolf turned his back on him.
That dawn, in Levi’s assigned room, the prince and Ivory were sitting on the bed in front of each other. Levi let Ivory hold his arm, while she sniffed on his birthmark of Destinia, where his mana supply was most abundant.
As Ivory was replenishing her mana, Levi stared blankly at nowhere, thinking about what Lucius might have said to her a few moments ago. He was already doubting if the young lad would help them, or if he would pose a threat to his plans.
When Ivory glanced at her Master who was oddly quiet, she asked, “Master? Are you alright?”
“Ah, yes,” Levi sighed. “I was just thinking about a lot of things.”
“Like what?” she stared at him with curious eyes.
“Just some unnecessary things that I shouldn’t think about… I’ll go to sleep now, so go to your room.”
“But why can’t I sleep here?”
“You can… but I want you to be in your wolf form.”
“But why?”
“You ask a lot, Ivory,” Levi chuckled and patted her head, “I just want to sleep on your soft fur.”
“Okay!” her body glowed, and then she slowly transformed into a big wolf, curling next to his Master on the bed.
The truth was, the reason why he didn’t want Ivory in her human form at that time was because Levi remembered how Ivory cried in front of him when they first met. Whenever he saw her human face, he recalled that he was the cause of her previous pain, and he felt bad about it as her new Master.
Levi slowly positioned his head on his Werewolf Servant’s side and rested his body on the bed. He murmured as he stroked her fur, “Goodnight, Ivory.”
“Goodnight, Master Levi.”
…
The next day, a messenger from Qawiun Academy came. He brought with him a scroll, saying that the message was for Ivory, and it was from Fiora of Precious Inn in Topazeon Town.
But before Ivory saw this, it was Levi who first read the scroll. He wanted to make sure that it would not have anything to trigger her to remember her feelings for Sigmund.
The letter said, “Dear Miss Ivory, how are you? We are fine here, the inn’s very busy. Ever since the celebration for the topaz’s reappearance, our town has been busy accepting visitors!
Everything seemed happy on the surface, but according to the rumors, King Yama was disappointed that the black, coal-like stones they were excavating were all gone. Now, the castlemen are roaming around in all of our mines and mountains in search of it. It’s weird, right? Topaz gemstone is a lot better than that black stuff!
Anyway, I hope you and your beloved lover Mister Sigmund will live happily ever after, because I am about to get married to my neighbor! Remember him? He was the annoying one who danced with me in the summer festival!”
Levi creased his brows after seeing the long message with the Vampire’s name on it. But at least he knew about the situation in Topazeon.
When Ivory in human form was about to approach him, he immediately burned the scroll!
“Eh? Master. What is that?” she pointed at the scroll that turned into ashes.
“A letter from Topazeon. The King’s men were looking for remnants of the black mana stones.”
“I see… What should we do now?”
Levi replied, “Let us commence the first plan tonight.”
