ROMN Volume 1 Draft 1

Roman returns to the manor

The episode starts with Roman sat in the back of an open top car with Neo. The car is being driven by the family Footman. The car drives up to the main gates of the Torchwick Family Estate.

Driver: "Samuel"

Samual (the gatekeeper): "Harrison, Master Roman, Mistress?"

The gates open, the car drives down the stone brick road to the manor house, exotic statues flowers and water features decorate the gardens, including a small stream and pond. The Manor itself could pass as a palace, it had the grand towers and windows of a cathedral with the silhouette of a mansion and what looked like the sturdiness of a castle, from different angles the building could pass for any of the three.
Neo is mesmerized by her surroundings and wide eyed the whole time.
The car pulls up to the front of the Manor house, a servant opens the car door for Roman and Neo, they climb up the steps to the door where they are greeted by the Family Butler.
He glances at Roman, then Neo, then Roman.

Jeeves: "I knew you were popular with the ladies Master Roman, though I did not know you were that popular."

Roman: "uhh, what?"

Jeeves: "no need to be embarrassed Master Roman, your Uncle would be quite impressed"

Roman: "what? No no no no no no, she's not mine"

Jeeves: "Of course not"

Roman: "Shouldn't you be getting the house ready for tonight?"

Jeeves: "I am"

The doors open, there are servants and workers everywhere. Putting up extra decoration, doing last minute dusting, tables and plates are being set up in the ballroom, a string band is setting up on a small stage, the kitchens are filled with chefs cooking away. Jeeves Roman and Neo walk inside

Jeeves: "Delegation my dear boy, always work smarter, never harder"

Olivia: "He's a master of that art"

Olivia is stood behind them holding a drink

Jeeves: "bit early for it wouldn't you say Miss Olivia?"

Olivia: "no"

Roman: "ahh still as Patronising as ever"

Olivia: "You were on the news again"

Roman: "I know right, its funny, the cameras just can't seem to get enough of me"

Olivia: "Father wasn't happy"

Roman: "Is he ever"

Micheal: "Only when you do as you're told and I pretend to not exist, Whos the scruffy one?"

Roman: "This is Neo"

Neo looks up at Roman in confusion then nods her head

Jeeves: "I had wrongfully assumed she was your new niece, would you care to fill us in?"

Roman: "she has nowhere to go"

Jeeves: "so you brought her here"

Micheal: "yeah our lord father is not going to be happy about that now is he"

Roman: "well what else was I supposed to do? Just leave her there? We have more space and more money then we know what to do with, I'm sure we can manage one more person"

Jeeves: "huff, do either of you have a problem with this?"

Michael looks to Olivia shrugs and says "nope"

Olivia shakes her head

Jeeves: "I'll try to sell the idea to your father. Next time you want to try something like this, call me first"

Jeeves walks off, he passes two maids who are chatting.

Jeeves: "those cobwebs wont dust themselves"
