———————————————————————————————————

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 weren’t 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 “Good morning” he said, getting inside of the room and leaving the food on the table.

“More like good afternoon” Sage said, closing her book and left in on her bed before standing up “You’re later than usual, did something happened?”

“There’s a new one” said Virgil, not really wanting to reveal Patton’s gender to the others yet “I just had to get a bit more food” he walked to the fireplace and blew a soft flame on the wood “I have to go now, I still have to go with the others”

“Right, I’m always your first stop, but I’m looking forward to spend time with you when you can, if you would like that of course”

Virgil sat at the frame of the window and looked back to the princess “You know I’d love that, see ya Sage” 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 “Good morning, or as Sage corrected me, good afternoon”

Julie woke up slowly, yawning and smiling when she saw Virgil “Hi, I’m not glad to see you, I haven’t been missing you”

“I’ve missed you too, sorry, I’ve been busy with the new addition of the castle”

Julie sat on the bed and Virgil stood up “Another one? That’s terrible” she groaned at her words “You know what I meant”

The dragon nodded “And I’m sure you two will be great friends”

“I hope not, do you have to go already?”

“I have, I’ll finish delivering food and then I’ll spend time with you, how does that sound?” Virgil asked as he grabbed his stuff.

“Awful”

Virgil smiled and got closer to the window “Glad we agree, be back soon Juls” 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 “Shouldn’t you be with Rose Rem?” He asked it, getting a small groan as a response, the small dragon, turned to Virgil’s bag and tried to make his way inside “Oh no you won’t” Virgil grabbed the dragon, trying to keep him still as he struggled “I’m not going to have another lack of food problem because of you, I promise I have your food, but let’s go with Rose first alright?”

Virgil didn’t even wait for an answer,continuing his way to Rose’s tower, the little dragon on his arms was named Remus, he was Rose’s 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 son’s curse, that’s 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 “Come on Remus this isn’t funny, if Virgil finds out I l-“ she turned around getting face to face with Virgil “Virge! What a lovely surprise” she said nervous.

The dragon left his bag on the floor, grabbing Remus with both hands and giving him to the princess “lost someone?”

Rose took his brother and he climbed to her shoulders, curing around her neck “I’m sorry, he’s just so slippery, I didn’t even noticed when he got out”

“Don’t worry about it, I just came to give you two your food, try to keep it away from Remus” the tiny dragon growled in response “You’ll be feed, but you know what happens when you eat too much”

The princess scratched Remus’s head “He’s just grumpy because you haven’t come to see us” he growled again, as if trying to deny it “yes you are”

Virgil smiled slightly as he got the food out o his bag “I’m sorry, as I told the others, I’ve been busy with our new one”

“Oh right, Remus saw him the other day”

Virgil froze “Him?” He said turning around to face the princess.

“You don’t have to hide it, Rem heard you two talking and explained it to me, I’m fine with it , but I understand i you don’t want to tell the others yet”

Virgil sighed relieved “Thank you, it’s been hard for him to feel comfortable”

Rose smiled “You should try to do something with that dress tho”

“I know” Virgil grabbed his bag and looked towards the princess’s 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 “Wait, you know how to sew, you could make him a suit!”

“I... I don’t know, fixing a small scratch and the things I do for Remus are one thing, but making an entire suit?”

“Please, could you at least try?”

The princess sighed “Alright, but I’ll need material, and you owe me a big one”

Virgil smiled and walked to the window “Sure thing Princess, see ya” he said, jumping out and flying to the last tower, Patton’s tower.

When he arrived, he was greeted with a bear hug from the prince, making him smile “I wasn’t gone for that long Pat”

“I know, but I missed you” Patton broke the hug and grabbed the bucket with water Virgil had “Let me help you” he said carrying it to the table.

“You don’t have to help me, this is just part of my work”

“But you don’t need to do everything by yourself”

Virgil smiled and rolled his eyes “fine” he said leaving the rest of the food on the table “I have something else to do, do you need help cooking this before I go?”

Patton shook his head “can you just turn the chimney on?”

Logan ran a hand through Patton's hair.

"They're making me get married, Logan," Patton said, voice choked. "I don't want to get married, not yet, and certainly not to some count."

Patton wrapped Logan in a hug, who slowly returned it.

"Then come with me," Logan whispered. "Board my ship and live a life that you'll never see inside the palace walls. I'll ensure everyone respects your terms of address, and your chosen name, and I'll do everything I can to make you comfortable."

Patton shook his head. "I don't want to be comfortable." At Logan's confused and slightly guilty expression, he clarified. "I don't want to be comfortable because I've been comfortable all my life. I want to be happy."

Logan smiled. "Then I shall make you happy."

Patton giggled, and grabbed Logan's hand, running out the rowboat he'd docked in.

Logan stepped in first, and offered his hand to Patton, who took it gratefully.

"Where do you wish to go, good sir?" Logan asked, an accent playing into his voice and a playful smirk on his face.

"Why, I'd much like to go to your ship, kind sir."

Logan sat down, and Patton sat in front of him.

"The ship it is then."

Roman had watched this man, this scoundrel, this pirate, charm his lovely sister and kidnap her. Poor Patricia, she was always so naive and trusting.

That awful man would take advantage of her! And he would keep her somewhere where nobody would ever find her and then she would die.

"Your Majesty?" a servant asked, making his presence known as he stood by the open door to Roman's room.

"What is it?"

"Sir Virgil received a very urgent letter from a family member, and has left the castle, and he told me to alert you that it was a matter of severe importance, and that he regrets not being able to say goodbye to you."

"That's fine." Roman gripped his seat tightly. "However my sister has just been kidnapped. Tell my father that I am going after them."

The servant seemed to sag, rubbing his eyes. "Very well then, Your Majesty, I will inform him at once." The servant left, muttering about how "he's just all the way across the castle" and shutting Roman's door a bit more forcefully.

Roman attached his sword to his belt, took his crown off and set it by the beside, and raced through the castle, running down to the docks where he found a note.

'Groft halred, ni lofth ashte."

Roman recognized the language at once as old Alrenian.

The note read "Good luck, my sweet prince."

---

"What are you writing? I never learned Alrenian," Patton inquired as Logan scribbled something down on the parchment in his hand.

"It's a...call it a lure for your moronic brother. He'll come to me, and he'll see that you've changed."

"Why do all that?"

"To make sure he respects you and so that I can...teach him if the need arises."

Patton leaned over and planted a kiss to his forehead, causing Logan to flush, putting the hand holding the small pen up to his face.

"I love you, Logan."

"And I you."
