Taming My Vampire Servant

Katie glared at Ivory at a distance. Her adopted sister, whom she didn't want to see anymore, suddenly came to her safe haven, the place where she was labeled as the most beautiful woman.

Since she first arrived at the City, her friend Fiona, Helios' older sister, helped her dress like a noble because she said that it would somehow attract a noble as a lover, and it was one of her life goals, to escape the poor town life.

Thus, the girl from the countryside had lived a new life with Fiona's help by discovering and enhancing her talent in painting. But in order for her to learn the more advanced strokes and techniques, Helios was the one who helped her.

And she fell in love with him.

It angered Katie so much that he had noticed her sister, great enough that he couldn't wait to put her image into his canvas. She clenched her fists out of jealousy, stopping herself from charging onto her and she could only imagine kicking the chair where she was sitting into.

Helios was smiling the whole time as he drew Ivory in his canvas. She started with the shape of her face, to the outline up to her waist, then started sketching the shape of her eyes. He was mesmerized by her beauty, and he felt that the world had slowed down the moment they locked eyes. It was as if she pulled him to her through her light blue irises.

After two hours, Helios was done with his quick sketch of her, and the crowd gave him a big round of applause. When they had already dispersed, he told Ivory, "You're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I apologize if I took so much of your time. You seem like a visitor, and I don't want to lose you and forget your face, so-"

"It's okay! Don't worry about it," she peeked at the painting that he did, and she gaped in awe. "It's great!"

"I will make a larger version of this one and place it in the center. And when you visit this place once again, you'll see that this part of the gallery is full of my paintings of you."

Sigmund couldn't stop the man from saying such things to his Master. Even though he wanted to punch the guy in his face, he couldn't, as there were too many people around.

Ivory got shy thinking about the paintings of her in that big room, "Uhm, you don't have to, I am just a passerby-"

"From now on, you're my muse," he took Ivory's hand and kissed the back of it!

Sigmund was surprised that the man had taken a move on his Master, and he quickly grabbed his wrist, pulling it away from her, "My Master… doesn't like to be touched by men."

"Sigmund, hey-"

"Well, well… What do we have here," Katie suddenly approached them. She displayed her frilly fan, and looked at Ivory in disdain. "What are you doing here?"

"Katie!" she quickly hugged her, "I missed you so much, I-"

"Get away from me, you filthy woman!" she pushed her hard, fortunately, Sigmund was behind her and caught her. Katie yelled, "My clothes are too expensive to be soiled by you!"

"Why this little shi-" Sigmund almost used magic on her to burn the clothing that she had boasted to be expensive, but Ivory touched his arm and shook her head.

"I will leave as soon as I give you this," Ivory rummaged through her knapsack and took one of the blue-painted shell-shaped stones she bought in Valios City. She smiled excitedly as she extended her arm to her, "Here, a souvenir from Valios City! I hope you'll like it."

Katie looked down on the shell that her sister was holding and raised her brow, "Do you expect me to take such a cheap item? I don't want it."

"But… I bought this especially for you-"

"I said, I don't want it!" Katie shoved away Ivory's hand, and the souvenir dropped and broke on the wooden floor.

Ivory knelt and slowly placed the pieces in her palm. Sigmund also knelt to help her collect them while glaring at Katie.` `

"How dare you come here and give me such an ugly and cheap thing," Katie mocked her in a bitter expression, "Who do you think you are? My sister? Hah! In your dreams! You are not my real sister anyway, and you should know your place!" she lightly kicked her leg as she looked down on her.

Sigmund almost stood up to stop her, but Ivory was quicker to stand, making the pieces of the souvenir fall once again.

Ivory faced Katie and since she couldn't control herself anymore, she slapped her sister across the face. A resounding slap was heard in the gallery, which made the guests gasp in shock as they witnessed the most beautiful woman in Prisma City getting hit by the beautiful visitor.

"I am still your sister, so respect me!" she exclaimed.

While her cheeks were burning from the slap, Katie was very surprised because she didn't expect Ivory to coldly talk back to her and even slap her. She stared at her glowing light blue eyes and trembled in shock.

"You can only wear clothes like a noble, but apologies, you can't change your identity," she glared at her while crossing her arms, "You are, and will always be, Katie Sprucemint of Greensteid Town. Even if you stay here forever."

"You've changed… Why did you slap me-"

Ivory chuckled, "I wish I had done it sooner to correct your manners, Katie. After all, it's also an eldest sister's duty."

The furious Katie clenched her fists, "I will never accept you as my sister."

"Do you think I chose you as my family? It's destiny's fault, and if I have a choice, I'd love to have a different sister, not a disrespectful one like you," she turned her back on her. "Mother and father were very unhappy when you left. Even Gracie and Flynn kept on asking when you're coming back. You should visit sometimes because they're still your family."

Katie didn't answer after realizing late that there were people watching them.

"Let's go, Sigmund. Leave the broken, cheap souvenir on the floor," Ivory said in a sarcastic tone, and as she walked, her silver hair swayed gracefully.

Sigmund dropped the pieces of broken stones that he held. He glared at Katie first, before following Ivory towards the exit of the art gallery.

And as soon as she stepped foot outside the gallery, she fell unconscious, and Sigmund caught her just in time before she fell on the ground.

Katie was so furious that she just walked away. The bedroom that she borrowed from Helio and Fiona's family was located in the basement of the art gallery, and she directly went there to calm herself down due to embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Helios stared at Ivory in his painting.

"She's one interesting girl," Fiona, his sister and Katie's friend, came out from the crowd. "Is she the one you are looking for?"

"Yes, and I'm glad to finally meet her.. After seeing her in person, my desire for her only grew stronger… Thanks for befriending her sister for me, Fiona," Helios said with a wide grin.
