Random Drabbles

Banned (3/8)

Logan tucks the newly bought protection potion in the inside pocket of his trench coat as he exits Virgil's shop. The prince does have to admit that Virgil has quite the impressive setup with all his witchcraft supplies. Logan smiles at the thought of his purple robe and hat, thinking of the chains that dangle on them.

What am I thinking? He's been banned from the palace and Roman wouldn't want me to be with him. Logan thinks logically, forcing the thoughts to go away. However, he can't stop thinking about what Virgil said to him. He came from outside the border? Is that how he can be noticed from a mile away? Cause he's not from here?

One of the guards at the entrance of the palace doors greets him, "Evening Sire Logan."

"Evening Guard Mitchell." Logan bows to him, holding his black velvet gloved hand to his chest.

"You may enter. Your father left for a trip for an alliance not even an hour ago. Prince Roman is in his room with his new found boyfriend as well."

Logan rolls his eyes, "Wow, he moved on fast. I hope he actually loved Virgil. Guard Mitchell nods in agreement before moving to the side so Logan can enter. The prince climbs a few flights of stairs and knocks on Roman's door.

"Who is it?"

"Your elder brother Roman."

"Come on in." At that, Logan pushes the large doors open and he is immediately greeted with Roman's very bright red and golden room. He and his boyfriend are sitting on his king sized bed, some of the red drapes on Roman's bed closed. His boyfriend is one of the higher classes that Logan sees walking around. One of the people that banks on other's misery and likes to make remarks to the 'lesser' people.

"My opinion, if I may offer it, is that the witch you were with before is much better than him." Logan tells his little brother, readjusting his glasses with one hand and gesturing to the man with the other.

"Why? Witches are horrible and dangerous people." Logan grits his teeth at that. He stares daggers into the higher classmen- Phillip, Logan believes his name is- then he looks down to the medium sized potion in his pocket, remembering what Virgil said to him.

"I don't believe so. I am going to conduct further studies on witches, but I think you are being stereotypical and falling into rumors of the past. I believe that you should give him more credit than you are currently."

"Why are you standing up for my ex?" Roman asks, upset with his older brother.

"I have not been able to talk to him much, but I do believe that he is a good person." Logan then proceeds to mutter something about Phillip being a player, remembering the jealousy that Virgil mentioned while they were talking a few minutes ago. He then walks out of the room, closing the doors tight behind him. He walks through the halls and into his room, which looks completely different from his younger brothers. It has dark blue walls and black furniture. Black bookshelves line the walls with books that he got from the library or just books from the study. He noticed quite a few books that Patton and Virgil had, he'll have to ask to either buy or borrow those books to add to his notes. There is a black desk with a dark brown wooden chair with a black velvet seat and backrest. His bed, which is much smaller than Roman's very large one, is framed with black dyed wood and constellations of the night sky adorn his sheets. Other than that and the lanterns on the balcony there isn't much to his room.

He sets the potion on his desk and grabs a few books, then a small journal and a quill with a bottle of ink. He sits down and writes down what he remembers reading from the book Virgil had him breathing from. Then he fishes through an old witchcraft book he found and goes through the ingredients, hoping that they were still the ones used. However, he doesn't see how the ingredients would've changed, though he doesn't understand much about witchcraft or potions making.
