Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 211

“Prince Jaquin, please turn back!” one of the Royal Knights yelled. It was embarrassing to admit, but they did not expect the enemies to be that strong, and they needed to inform those who were inside, especially the King in his chambers.

Following his subordinate’s suggestion, the hazel-haired prince made his big dragon in its inactive size, then ran inside the prison hallway, which would lead towards the interior of the castle.

The Royal Knights, wanting to get back to Levi’s team, casted Conversion magic to turn Water into ice until the bottom of the boats froze, which made Levi and the others hop onto the frozen waters. Using Air magic in the form of wind to push them, they all dashed towards the shore!

While Ivory and her comrades were caught up in a chaotic situation, Sigmund was still trapped in the small cottage. At first, he was trying to use magic to break the anti-magic and anti-sound mana barrier, but he decided that it was not a wise decision. He had to conserve his mana and energy because he couldn’t replenish without Ivory by his side.

Sigmund gazed at the window and stared at the round, yellow moon. He wondered if his beloved was also thinking of him.

Ever since Ivory left, Sigmund had a hunch that she would never return. Was her letter an empty promise, or perhaps Prince Levian forced her to leave him?

The Vampire clenched his fists, annoyed at his and Ivory’s clouded fate. Feeling his heart ache, Sigmund laid down on the cold bed, missing the warmth of his lover.

Meanwhile, in the King’s chambers, King Yama Dragonicus finished wearing his thick, multilayered armor made of steel. The helmet had a spike on each side, as well as its comb. Both shoulders had three spikes each, and three first-sized dark red gemstones were embedded in his suit. A sword was also attached to the back of his armor.

“Father! Things aren’t in our favor on the prison beach!” Prince Jaquin yelled as he ran towards the King.

He walked heavy steps towards Jaquin, his armor clanking. The King patted his son’s shoulder, “I want you to take some knights and Royal Guards with you. Wait for them to approach the rose garden and sneak up on them. I have something to do in the Oracle’s tower.”

“But the roof and the upper rooms are damaged, and Oracle Ghidarlgh has been in Prisma City since last night.”

“I know. I have another purpose… Go now,” He said briefly, before he ran towards the tower’s direction.

The Oracle’s tower was located at the south front of the vast domain of the Silverblade Castle. It is quite far from the King’s chambers, so it took King Yama seven minutes before he reached it.

But the tower itself was not his real destination.

Behind the tower was an underground passageway hidden by thick bushes. Every day, the King would visit it to check up on the two people whom he trapped in there.

King Yama walked down the stone stairs, then lit the torch using his Fire elemental spell. After a few steps, a large door could be seen.

Inside the big room with high and brown ceilings, big paintings of people were hung on the wall. There were side tables in between a red bed with a canopy, and a study table was also present in the corner part of the room.

A woman, with long black hair and golden horns on her head, laid on the bed. As soon as she saw the King, she stood up, then knelt in front of him. She was only wearing a lace brassiere and underwear, and the sheer cloth attached to the tips of her black wings covered her legs and feet.

“Drakeena… Where is Jirou?!” he glowered at her and banged the cage beside him.

“He left a while ago,” Drakeena answered shortly.

“How the hell did that boy stand up…” the King knew that due to Prince Jirou and Prince Jaquin’s battle two years ago, he became a cripple, and all the mana of his black dragon Beast Servant was destroyed. This disabled Jirou to replenish his Servant’s mana, and the mana he used to materialize his dragon was lost, making him weaker.

King Yama then gazed at her body, and noticed something different.

“You… Did you give your tail to him?” he glared at her.

“Yes, Master… He had a nightmare that there’s a war going on outside, and he told me that he wanted to protect the woman he loves. Jirou said that the two years were enough, and he wanted to see her. He was in panic because the nightmare seemed real,” Drakeena smiled at Yama, with tears in her eyes, “How can I just watch him suffer? After all… he’s our son.”

The moment that the King heard of this, his mind was clouded with anguish. Yama’s dragon Nymph Servant was initially three-tailed, and when Drakeena gave birth to both Jirou and Jaquin, she instantly lost two tails.

“If you gave your last tail to him… Then you’re not going to last! Why the hell did you do that?! You know how hard I worked just to give you all these things!” he pointed out to almost all the gold items in the room.

“Apologies… But this had to stop.”

“What do you mean?”

“This kind of life… Everything, Master.”

“No… I can’t lose you!” King Yama helped her stand up, then held her arm, “I asked the Goddess’ messenger Lyria to make it possible for you to love me as much as I love you, that’s why the Unholy mana was-”

“Apologies, although you made me flawed, I never once felt that I loved you the way you wanted me to…” tears trickled down her cheeks, then gave a weak smile, “But even though I feel miserable with what you’ve done with me, I never once stopped treating you as my Master. That’s the reason why I stayed all this time… Master, Aren’t you getting sick of committing sins? Don’t you think it’s time to stop this nonsense?”

“But if you die… My mana supply will lessen greatly… And the throne will-”

“Is it me you didn’t want to lose, or is it the throne?”

King Yama stared at his dragon Nymph Servant.. He found the question too hard to answer, and all he did was gaze at her golden irises.
