Taming My Vampire Servant

"Well, it's because of this guy," he pointed to him as he held his arm. "He has an odd case. He seems to be telling the truth, but I am not yet that sure. I want your opinion, Sir Arthurdane."

The Principal examined him from head to toe. He noticed the bluish, faint birthmark of Destinia in his arm, "Hmmm… It seemed to be quite different from our marks. I am going to call the other Educators for their opinions." He then asked someone outside to call some of the Educators who were available at the time.

Soon after, Educators Rosanna of the Swordsmanship class, Educator Alphonse of the Tactics class, and Educator Wallace of the Magic class arrived at the Principal's office.

Levi stayed quiet yet cautious as the Educators examined his birthmark. Educator Wallace even opened some of his old scrolls for reference, while Educators Rosanna and Alphonse interrogated him.

"So you mean, you have been using magic, but have no Servant?" Educator Alphonse asked.

Levi nodded. "Yes, since I was a kid… Now, can you let me go? My wrists are hurting-"

"What if you use magic on us?!" Educator Rosanna glared at him. "No way!"

Educator Wallace, on the other hand, widened his eyes when he saw the similar mark of Levi on the old, worn-out scroll. "Here it is!" He continued reading it, and as he read the words out loud, he gaped in shock.

Levi had the same characteristic of the harp-shaped birthmark of Destinia of the late king, Ulysses Silverblade. Only those who had birthmarks with bluish color could be crowned as King.

With this, Educator Wallace asked him, "Is your name perhaps… His Highness Levian Silverblade?"

Levi nodded, the Educator then knelt down in front of him and said in a loud tone, "Our Goddess had kept His Highness safe! Apologies for our rudeness, Prince Levian!"

The others who had heard of it quickly knelt down in front of him. Although they were still quite confused as to how he ended up being tied by Xenos, his birthmark and the old scroll were the solid evidence of its genuinity.

"I appreciate that you all recognized me as a Prince even though our family was already forced out of the castle… But can you please untie me now?"

Xenos immediately stood up and took the thick rope from him. "I apologize… I thought you had Dark Mana, and I was alarmed, so-"

"I've heard of this Dark Mana before, but I thought it was just mere hearsay," Levi asked them all to stand up.

"But Prince Levian… Where is your Servant?" Principal Arthurdane asked worriedly. The only place where Masters could summon their Servants was Qawiun Academy.

"If you still do not know yet, ever since I was a kid, my mana became uncontrollable. It seeped out of my body because there were too plenty and my body could not hold all of it. Good thing someone taught me to control it at a young age… Anyway, that man had betrayed my family, so let us not talk about it."

"I have a suggestion," Educator Rosanna said, "How about summoning your Servant now?"

"That's a great idea, indeed!" Principal Arthurdane responded, "With you three Educators here, we can set up an effective Summoning circle in the coliseum-"

"I do not want to catch too much attention."

"Hmm… How about setting it up here?" Educator Alphonse suggested, "Let's move all the furniture to the side."

And with that, they rearranged all the things in the Principal's office to be able to draw a large summoning circle in the middle. They even rolled the large, square carpet to the side. 

Educator Wallace took a wooden container of enchanted, white chalk and started drawing the magic circle, while Educator Alphonse positioned the crystal ball on the Principal's desk. Educator Rosanna gave Levi the instructions, that he should concentrate his mana onto the crystal ball, and not let go of it until they finished the summoning ritual. Principal Arthurdane placed a sound barrier so that no one would suspect anything happening inside his office, while Xenos and the Educators' Servants were the ones who guarded outside the room.

When everything was ready, Levi stood at the side, and as instructed, he placed both his hands onto the crystal ball and transferred mana on it.

Soon after, the summoning circle had a white glow. The Educators made sure that no magic would slip off the circle.

Then suddenly, the white glow was out. But there was no Servant inside.

"What happened?" the Principal asked, "Why was the holy Servant not summoned?"

The Educators examined the circle. Everything's set and okay, but the white powder of the chalk became blue. It means that the Servant was already summoned before!

They explained this, and Levi was confused. He never set foot into any summoning circles before, so how did that happen?

Educator Alphonse then asked, "Your Highness, did you have any dream prior to this day? A pre-summoning dream where you can see your servant. You must have dreamt something unusual this week?"

"Hmm… Something unusual?" Levi tried hard to remember all the dreams that he had in the past days. He mostly dreamed of his relatives, but in all those dreams, he only had idle chats with them.

But he then recalled a dream that did not involve a family or relative.

"There was one… quite unusual dream," he uttered.

"What is it?"

"In my dream, there was a woman whom I chased…" Levi paused talking when he remembered the beautiful woman he was referring to. Her eyes were pretty light-blue like the sky, and her long, silver hair as glossy as silk threads swayed as she ran away from him. "It was weird, she kept on running away from me."

"I have a theory about what your dream meant, your Highness," Educator Wallace said in a serious tone, "I think it was destined for you to search for your missing Servant."
