Taming My Vampire Servant

Upon meeting Sigmund's crimson-red eyes, Jasiel trembled in fear. How could he forget the wrecked apartment and his shattered confidence that his ex-lover's Servant caused last year?

"Welcome to Gallean Town. I am Morgan Maurer, a third year," he said in a cold tone with his arms crossed. "You are just in your second year, and since you're younger than us, you must obey us all the time. You can't slack off, and you should do all the household chores. Got that?"

Ivory only nodded at him. Sigmund raised his brow, and when Jasiel saw this, he immediately interrupted, "What are you saying, Morgan? Don't be too hard on the newcomer! He must be treated like our younger brother! Don't make him do too much work!"

Morgan narrow his brows in confusion, "Weren't you the one who said to be unfriendly-"

Jasiel covered his mouth, "Let us show them where they will stay!" He walked towards Sigmund and quickly took the luggage bags he was carrying, "I'll carry these for you!"

As the two moved forward, Ivory and Sigmund looked at each other and chuckled.

The four of them then walked on the sandy path. Ivory and Sigmund looked around to check if the place was really composed of majority of men. And in every corner they looked, they only saw men. They could see very few girls, who all appeared to be underaged, but there were no adult women.

They then entered a two-story adobe house situated in front of the sandy mountains. The exterior and interior walls were peach-colored, and the floor and walls were made of hardened clay.

"Ah, your schoolmate arrived! Welcome, welcome!" the owner of the house, who was a tall young man, with muscular build and handsome features, approached the newcomers as he beamed a smile. He was wearing an all dark brown sleeveless collared zip up shirt, fitted jeans with belt, and knee high boots. "I am Nathan Sandfall. Please feel at home!" He shook hands with Sigmund, and then with Ivory.

"I am Ivory-" she changed into a lower tone, "I mean Ivor Sprucemint, and this is Sigmund, my Spirit Servant. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Ivory instantly caught Nathan's eye with her long silver hair. When he gripped her hand, he couldn't help but to comment about how soft her hands were, "You have such... small hands."

"Ah...I…" Ivory quickly withdrew it. "It runs in our family."

"I see," he smiled at her. "I apologize for mentioning it. It's just that… it's rare to find a man here who has such small beautiful hands."

Sigmund glared at the owner and cleared his throat, "Master Ivor is tired. Where is his bedroom?"

"About that… Choose who among your schoolmates you'd like to share a room with. I apologize if we only have two rooms for the guests."

"Share a room?" Ivory almost raised her voice, but quickly questioned him in a low tone. She then looked at Jasiel and Morgan. She would definitely not share a room with Jasiel, but she also did not like to share a room with a stranger like Morgan.

Sigmund was already angry deep inside. He didn't want his Master to share a room with a guy. Besides, she would be exposed, and worse, he might not be able to have a taste of her blood in private.

Jasiel saw how Sigmund frowned. Afraid that he might still think bad about him, he raised his hand, "I will… share a room with Morgan!"

But Morgan retorted, "Huh? Are you nuts? Why will I share a room with you-"

Jasiel quickly covered Morgan's mouth, "Of course, you'll agree with it! Uhh... I'll help clean the room!"

"Take a rest first, lunch will be ready soon," Nathan said and went back to the kitchen.

After a while, their room was prepared, and Ivory and Sigmund went to their respective room. The bed covered with white linen was placed against the white wall. The room was then accented with brown tones found on pillow cases, rug on the side of the table, bed end wooden chair, and a brown drawer set up near the door.

Ivory pulled the sliding wooden door and locked it by attaching a hook to the wall. She laid down on the springy soft bed, resting her sore back from traveling for a long time inside a carriage and on the camel.

"I don't know how long I can last in this disguise, Sigmund," she told her Servant, who was leaning by the door. "It feels a little hot because I had to put several layers of cloth to hide my chest…"

"Should I help you take them off?" Sigmund grinned at her, and when Ivory saw his killer smile, she immediately sat back up.

She shook her head, "We… We still need to eat lunch with them later!"

A sudden knock on the door interrupted them.

"Who's there?" asked Sigmund.

"Uhh... It's Jasiel…"

"How dare you knock and-"

"Sigmund," Ivory shook her head. "He's our teammate now. Besides, he knows my identity… Maybe he has something important to tell us."

"But Ivory. He almost violated you... Why will I let him in?"

"I bet he's already regretting it after what you did to him. I am not afraid of him anymore because you're here to protect me," Ivory gave his Servant a reassuring smile.

Sigmund paused to think for a while before he unhooked the door latch. As soon as Jasiel entered the room, he closed the door and fell on his knees.

"Ivory… Forgive me! I have changed… I will never do that sort of immoral act again…"

Ivory and Sigmund did not expect him to kneel down to apologize. They thought that being caught by the city guards naked in front of the public might have changed him.

"Do you mean it?" Ivory responded. "Did you really change?"

"Yes… I can prove it to you… I will do all the household chores from now on, so you should just sit back and relax while you're here!"

Sigmund chuckled, "We look forward to that, Jasiel."

"I will atone for my sin!" Jasiel then stood up. "Request me anything, and it shall be done!"

"Oh? Can you even shine our shoes?" Sigmund teased him.

"Yes! Yes, I will! Let me just get a shoe brush-"

But Ivory told him, "Jasiel, no.. Instead of that, I would like to ask for a favor."
