"Master, stop talking about other men"

Sigmund gazed at his Master for a long while, before he realized that they should return to the topic they were about to discuss.

"Don't be stubborn, and don't remove that blanket," Sigmund said in an authoritative tone, and when he saw Ivory nod, he told her, "Continue. What happened inside the Sanctuary?"

"Well… there's this Dark Mana… and Euphorie was purified using the magic of the priestess and the disciples…"

"I can't understand. Start from the moment you entered the Sanctuary's arc."

"Ugh, fine," she rolled her eyes. "Here's what happened…" Ivory told him the highlights of her visit inside the Sanctuary - that she met the Priestess, Euphorie's twin sister Alodia, Euphorie herself, the disciples, the knights, and the Royal Knights. She told him that she had met Xenos once again, and it made Sigmund's eyebrow twitch.

"And then he asked me again to become a Royal Knight…"

The Vampire Servant was annoyed that she was talking about Xenos with a bright smile on her face, "You look excited to be taught by that man."

"Why, of course. Isn't it an honor to be friends with a Royal Knight?" she chuckled. "I always wanted to be one. Knowing someone like Sir Xenos is a great opportunity, and he even said he'd teach me personally, so-"

Her story was interrupted when Sigmund used his palm to cover her mouth. And as he pushed her against the wall, the blanket that he used to cover her fell off, exposing more of her fair skin.

Sigmund's crimson red eyes glowed in annoyance, and he looked straight into her eyes. "Ivory. You seem to like that Royal Knight so much. Are you excited that he will teach you as a Royal Knight candidate?"

Ivory stuttered, distracted by his topless body pressing on her chest. "It's… It's because I respect him, that's all… He's a Royal Knight whose abilities are recognized by the King," she mumbled.

"If you're just going to meet him there once you've become a Royal Knight candidate, then I'll prevent you from graduating."

She spoke a bit louder as soon as he pulled his hand away from her mouth, "What are you saying?!"

"I'll run away again," Sigmund said in a serious tone.

"You'll leave me?"

His eyes continued to glow, "Yes, if you don't stop talking about other men."

She couldn't believe what he told her and thought that he's being childish, "That's ridiculous- Mmmmgghh!"

Her Vampire Servant suddenly lowered his head and bit the upper part of her chest, just above the cleavage.

Ivory tried to struggle, however, with Sigmund's hand tightly pinning her arms against the wall, she couldn't stop him.

"Ahhhh… Sigmund… Why are you biting there…?" Ivory's voice trembled as she asked him.

He then paused sucking her blood to respond to her, "To punish you… for looking forward to meet that man," he licked the blood dripping towards her cleavage.

Ivory was getting aroused, feeling her flower moistened. "But why…" she uttered, "Why are you getting angry about such a petty thing?"

"Petty?" Sigmund replied with a low voice, "Have you forgotten the third condition of our Contract Ritual?"

"Third… condition?"

"Your body and blood will only be mine… You have forgotten, haven't you?" It made him a bit angry, "I am only reminding you now… whom you belong to," and he bit her once again.

"Aaahhh… Sig… mund… Stop…" she muttered.

The Vampire did not mind her and kept on going. It was as if he lost control of himself and got immersed in his jealousy.

"Sig… mund… stop… please..."

But he still continued to suck her blood and licked her skin.

"Sigmund. I said stop."

When Sigmund suddenly heard Ivory's tone change, he slowly turned his head to look into her eyes. Ivory's light blue irises were glowing, and he sensed that currently, her extraordinary mana enveloped her.

"Let go of me, and stop sinning in this holy city."

The Vampire widened his eyes in shock, and his eyes stopped glowing. He observed that whenever Ivory's extraordinary mana envelops her, he easily complies to her dominance. He finally let go of her and sat up properly beside her.

Ivory saw how surprised her Servant was. She extended her arms and embraced him from behind. "I'm not mad at you. You were out of control, I just stopped you before you drain all of my blood and mana."

He felt her breasts on his bare back, and it made him gulp.

"How about I make it up to you?" Ivory said, but her eyes were still glowing. A devilish smirk displayed on her lips, and she made Sigmund face her. "Sleep with me tonight."

When he heard this, he was about to retort, "Are you out of your mind-" but his lips were sealed by her pointing finger.

"I mean, I want to sleep beside you. Come here."

With this, Sigmund stayed quiet, dumbfounded about what was happening. As if she cast a magic spell, he followed her orders and tucked themselves to bed. But he knew that it wasn't a magic spell. For some odd reason, Ivory becomes too straightforward due to the extraordinary mana that she had.

Ivory was pleased to see her beloved Servant beside her. She gazed into his eyes and stroked his hair with gentleness, "I'd love to see you this obedient because it's cute even though I'm not used to it."

"Master, are you just teasing me?" he held her hand.

"No, I'm not," she giggled. "Chill, call me Ivory instead of Master. You're afraid of me when I'm like this, aren't you?"

"I don't understand that part of you," he avoided her gaze as his ears turned red with embarrassment. "Go to sleep."

She laughed, "I am aware and alert when I'm in this state. And I also know that someone with a familiar scent is eavesdropping behind the thin walls of this room."

Sigmund was puzzled and looked back at her, "What do you mean by a familiar scent?"
