The castle where Virgil lived was enormous, and most of it was in ruins, except for the four towers it had, each one of them containing a different princess, since there werenāt many unoccupied castles around, every tower of the castle needed to be used, and Virgil was the only dragon taking care of his princesses, and now his new prince, having developed a friendship with each one of them, despite not being supposed to talk to them.
Taking care of them implied look fro food and water, and the dragon was just returning from one of his trips to gather those supplies, using his mouth to hold the cloth that had the meet ad his claws to carry the buckets with water, ready to deliver them to his princesses and prince.
The first tower held Princess Sage, she had glasses like Patton and was very smart, her tower was the only one that had a clear ceiling so she could watch the stars, Virgil managed to get some astrology books for her, he landed next to her tower and turned into his humanoid form, he carried half of one of the sheep he hunted and one of the buckets with water, he also had some fruits and several edible types, remembering all the times Sage had lectured him about the importance of a healthy diet.
He flew all the way to the window of the tower āGood morningā he said, getting inside of the room and leaving the food on the table.
āMore like good afternoonā Sage said, closing her book and left in on her bed before standing up āYouāre later than usual, did something happened?ā
āThereās a new oneā said Virgil, not really wanting to reveal Pattonās gender to the others yet āI just had to get a bit more foodā he walked to the fireplace and blew a soft flame on the wood āI have to go now, I still have to go with the othersā
āRight, Iām always your first stop, but Iām looking forward to spend time with you when you can, if you would like that of courseā
Virgil sat at the frame of the window and looked back to the princess āYou know Iād love that, see ya Sageā he said, jumping out of the window, he grabbed the stuff once he landed on the floor and flew to the next tower.
The second princess, Julie, was actually the first princess to be put under his care.
Julie was under a curse that forced her to speak with lies, as well as having half her face covered with snake like scales, this made her very cold and distant when Virgil started talking to her, but whit time, they grew closer, being hr one of the princesses he has a stronger relationship with.
He landed inside her room, the fireplace was always on, Julie was always cold due to her snake side, and Virgil constantly made sure she had a source of heat, he let the food on the table and started separating the portions he needed, closing his homemade bag and turning to see his princess, who was asleep on her bed.
Virgil smiled and got closer, kneeling at the edge of the bed and brushing the hairs away from the princess face āGood morning, or as Sage corrected me, good afternoonā
Julie woke up slowly, yawning and smiling when she saw Virgil āHi, Iām not glad to see you, I havenāt been missing youā
āIāve missed you too, sorry, Iāve been busy with the new addition of the castleā
Julie sat on the bed and Virgil stood up āAnother one? Thatās terribleā she groaned at her words āYou know what I meantā
The dragon nodded āAnd Iām sure you two will be great friendsā
āI hope not, do you have to go already?ā
āI have, Iāll finish delivering food and then Iāll spend time with you, how does that sound?ā Virgil asked as he grabbed his stuff.
Virgil smiled and got closer to the window āGlad we agree, be back soon Julsā he said, once again jumping out, one more princess to go.
As he flew to the third tower, something landed on his shoulders, Virgil stopped mid air and looked at the creature, a small green dragon āShouldnāt you be with Rose Rem?ā He asked it, getting a small groan as a response, the small dragon, turned to Virgilās bag and tried to make his way inside āOh no you wonātā Virgil grabbed the dragon, trying to keep him still as he struggled āIām not going to have another lack of food problem because of you, I promise I have your food, but letās go with Rose first alright?ā
Virgil didnāt even wait for an answer,continuing his way to Roseās tower, the little dragon on his arms was named Remus, he was Roseās twin, who was cursed to stay like this on the daytime, at night, he would return to his humanoid form, keeping the horns, wings and some scales, just as Virgil when he was transformed, their parents were overprotective, and they thought having extra security for their lovely daughter would be more han ideal, not even caring on trying to break their sonās curse, thatās why he was stuck with him, being the only one who could actually get in and out of the towers, he was quite a troublemaker.
He landed on the room as usual and saw Rose walking around the room āCome on Remus this isnāt funny, if Virgil finds out I l-ā she turned around getting face to face with Virgil āVirge! What a lovely surpriseā she said nervous.
The dragon left his bag on the floor, grabbing Remus with both hands and giving him to the princess ālost someone?ā
Rose took his brother and he climbed to her shoulders, curing around her neck āIām sorry, heās just so slippery, I didnāt even noticed when he got outā
āDonāt worry about it, I just came to give you two your food, try to keep it away from Remusā the tiny dragon growled in response āYouāll be feed, but you know what happens when you eat too muchā
The princess scratched Remusās head āHeās just grumpy because you havenāt come to see usā he growled again, as if trying to deny it āyes you areā
Virgil smiled slightly as he got the food out o his bag āIām sorry, as I told the others, Iāve been busy with our new oneā
āOh right, Remus saw him the other dayā
Virgil froze āHim?ā He said turning around to face the princess.
āYou donāt have to hide it, Rem heard you two talking and explained it to me, Iām fine with it , but I understand i you donāt want to tell the others yetā
Virgil sighed relieved āThank you, itās been hard for him to feel comfortableā
Rose smiled āYou should try to do something with that dress thoā
āI knowā Virgil grabbed his bag and looked towards the princessās desk, spotting her sewing materials, those were some of the stuff she managed to sneak into the tower, he saw her fixing a dress when Remus ripped it, and she made little costumes for the small dragon with different cloths Virgil managed to find āWait, you know how to sew, you could make him a suit!ā
āI... I donāt know, fixing a small scratch and the things I do for Remus are one thing, but making an entire suit?ā
āPlease, could you at least try?ā
The princess sighed āAlright, but Iāll need material, and you owe me a big oneā
Virgil smiled and walked to the window āSure thing Princess, see yaā he said, jumping out and flying to the last tower, Pattonās tower.
When he arrived, he was greeted with a bear hug from the prince, making him smile āI wasnāt gone for that long Patā
āI know, but I missed youā Patton broke the hug and grabbed the bucket with water Virgil had āLet me help youā he said carrying it to the table.
āYou donāt have to help me, this is just part of my workā
āBut you donāt need to do everything by yourselfā
Virgil smiled and rolled his eyes āfineā he said leaving the rest of the food on the table āI have something else to do, do you need help cooking this before I go?ā
Patton shook his head ācan you just turn the chimney on?ā
The dragon nodded and blew a flame on the wood, lighting it up āIt wonāt take that long, hopefully, Iāll be back as soon as I finishā Virgil sat on the edge of the window and jumped down, returning to his original form mid air and flying away, he had to find something for Rose to work on.
