Taming My Vampire Servant - Chapter 216

It was the most awaited day of Goddess Destinia’s promotion as an Air Ethereal, who managed the Air Element in the whole world. She was promoted for being very generous and for letting her own people borrow her mana to achieve peace within her own Kingdom.

Before the ceremony, she took a long bath inside a white, porcelain tub filled with different flowers, such as rose, sweet jasmine, and lotus. She then dressed herself with a deep neckline, feather applique sheer lace sleeved ball gown and paired it with white and gold stiletto heels with wings connected at the counter.

The sound of bells indicated the start of the ceremony. When she stepped out of her quarters, holy souls assisted her to the grand hall. It was in color white with intricate designs of clouds in gold. Inside, Destinia’s brother and sister gods and goddesses awaited her arrival at both sides of the hall, while the Holy Supreme God sat in front of the big golden window, where the blue sky could be seen.

“We are all here today to witness the designation of Destinia as the Air Ethereal,” the Holy Supreme God spoke. His voice was so deep that it echoed in the grand hall.

While Destinia listened to the god of all gods, a woman wearing a white hooded cloak suddenly opened the door.

Everyone turned their head toward her, and when she removed her hood, Destinia’s eyes widened in shock. It was her half goddess and half human messenger.

“Lyria, where have you been?”

But Lyria only walked towards the center and even passed beyond the goddess.

“Destinia should not be promoted as the Air Ethereal!” she exclaimed, causing murmurs among the gods and goddesses.

Destinia furrowed her brows and looked at her, dumbfounded with her sudden change in attitude. She never complained, and Destinia knew her as an obedient and kind assistant.

“Tell me the reason why, Messenger,” the Holy Supreme God spoke.

The Holy Supreme God, who has azure colored eyes, gazed at the messenger first before looking at the ginger-haired goddess. With four pairs of silver and golden wings, he also wore a silver and golden headpiece down to his chin, arm-length gloves, and a violet waist robe, showing his defined six-pack abs and muscular chest and arms. In his left hand was a twin-bladed s-shaped scythe.

“Her lending of mana to the people in her Kingdom only caused tremendous problems. Those mortals are driven by greed, lust, and other worldly, human desires.” she explained confidently, “This ‘unholy mana’ has spread. The mana, instead of a blessing, turned into a disaster!” Lyria revealed.

Destinia was shocked to hear this from Lyria. She accepted her as her assistant even though she was rejected by the other gods and goddesses. Was her judgment about her wrong? Why was she doing this?

“Is she speaking the truth, Destinia?” the Holy Supreme God’s voice echoed so loud inside the hall and sent shivers down her spine.

Hearing him speak stopped the chattering and made everyone stay silent. All eyes were at her as they waited for her to answer the question.

“As far as I know, there is no such thing.”

“Liar!” Lyria yelled, then faced the gods and goddesses, “Why don’t you all see what’s happening in the Holy Mirror?”

Behind the Holy Supreme God was a giant mirror. Upon raising his hand, it showed people walking like the undead and killing each other. Their eyes were lifeless, yet they could hurt the innocent with Elemental Magic.

Destinia knelt in front of her holy Father and tried to explain, “It was not like that a while ago, I don’t know how-”

“Destinia. I am withdrawing your designation as Air Ethereal.”

The ginger-haired goddess widened her eyes at the proclamation, while Lyria smirked.

The Holy Supreme God only took a second to decide about Destinia’s fate. He showed his palm, and a ball, which emitted a blue glow, slowly formed above it. He then uttered, “For a fair judgment and to set an example to my sons and daughters, I will be sending your holy soul to the mortal world.”

There were murmurs among the other gods and goddesses.

Destinia looked at her father. The look in his eyes said to trust him, which Destinia knew very well. As a pure goddess, it was her first time to experience such a predicament, and she believed that her father wouldn’t give her a trial she wouldn’t be able to pass.

The Holy Supreme God ordered everyone in the room to be silent before speaking again, and they all obediently obeyed. “You will not be promoted until the mess in your kingdom will be solved,” he said in a low tone. “You must return the peace in your kingdom, but in a human’s body.”

The Goddess glanced at Lyria, and saw how she was pleased with her punishment.

He then stared at his daughter intently, “But Destinia, you cannot return to heaven unless this ‘unholy mana’ is gone, and everything is settled.”

She was then encircled within a white glow and golden rays of light ascended from below, almost blinding her sight. She could not hear anything and could not see anything, but only felt a strong gust of wind surrounding her until she blacked out!

Destinia was awakened from her deep sleep because of a bad dream. She gasped for breath as she sat up from her bed, but shock crossed her face. She was already under a warm and cozy blanket inside a room with a bedside table and bottles of herbal medicines atop of it.

“Anastasia, I’m coming in,” there was a knock on the door before it was opened by a woman with long bloody red hair tied up and wearing a hakama, exposing the tattoo on her right shoulder. With her was a tray of potato soup and a cup of chamomile tea.

She quickly rose up from the bed and stood at the corner of the room, “Who are you?”

The woman’s eyes widened upon seeing her weak sister standing, “Anastasia? You can already stand?”

“I can,” Destinia studied her face, and the other woman just cried her eyes out as she approached and pulled her for a tight hug.

“Hail Goddess Destinia for this blessing!”

The goddess froze in place while the woman continued crying on her shoulder. She was ready to defend herself just in case the other attacked her, but she was actually surprised with her actions. She calmed herself down and tried her best to remember what happened beforehand.

‘Ah, I’m a mortal now, and my destined vessel is inside the body of a woman called Anastasia,’ she thought.

As the two settled on her bed, Educator Rosanna recalled how Anastasia wanted to enter Qawiun Academy because she also has the mark of Destinia, but due to her weak body, she couldn’t.

The goddess realized that upon her possession, Anastasia’s body became healthy. To mortals like Rosanna, it could be considered as a miracle.

While the educator relayed how happy she was that her sister was now healthy and could finally stand and walk on her own, Destinia also accepted her fate and decided to be called Anastasia and act normal in front of the mortals until the issue about the ‘unholy mana’ was solved.. And since Qawuin Academy has the best and most powerful Masters, she asked Rosanna if she could still enter the academy despite being a week late.
