     The next day Roman wakes up bright and early. He changes into his normal prince attire and goes to wake Virgil.

    "Hey kitten." Roman shakes Virgil wakes.

      Virgil stirs slightly but goes back to sleep.

     Roman sighs, he picks the Neko up. "Wake up." He drops Virgil down on the bed.

    "Ro it's too early." Virgil whines.

    "No it's not. C'mon, up." Roman says, sitting next to Virgil.

     Virgil tiredly sits up, falling onto Roman's chest. Virgil snuggles into Roman. Purring as Roman pets his ears.

    "I have to go soon kitten." Roman says.

     "Where are you going?" Virgil asks.

"I'm going to get the man that hurt you. The one that sent the other." Roman answers.

"Oh ok. Be safe." Virgil says hugging Roman.

"Of course I will." Roman responds, getting out of Virgil's grip.

     Roman says his goodbyes to Virgil and leaves the room. He goes downstairs to find the guards ready to leave. Once they leave with Mark it was about 20 minute trip. Once they got to the house, the man opened the door.

     "Can I help you?" Camren asked.

      "Yes, come with us back to the castle." Roman says in a stern voice.

"Yeah ok." Camren exits his house to be grabbed by two guards.

"What gives!?" Carmen yells.

"Just protocol sir." The guard on the right says.

After another 20 minutes they get back to the castle. Roman tells the guards to keep him there while he goes speaks with Virgil.

"Virgil." Roman states opening his door.

"Master you're home!" Virgil says excitedly.

"Yeah I am kitten. Now I have to put your collar on you." Roman says grabbing a purple collar that has his emblem as a tag.

"Why?" Virgil asks, allowing Roman to clip the collar on.

"The man that sent Mark to harm you was your old master. And it's protocol for you to see him. I don't know why, it just is." Roman states as he leads Virgil to the door.

"O-old master?" Virgil asks scared.

"Yes, but I won't let him near you." Roman assures as the walk downstairs.

Once they reach the main room where Camren is, Camren recognizes Virgil right away.

"Come back to your master sl*t!" Camren yells making Virgil whimper.

"You're not my master." Virgil says hiding behind Roman.

     Roman finally gets fed up with Camren and just sends him to the Dungeons. Once done with that, Virgil and Roman go back to Roman's room.

     "Old master won't get me right?" Virgil asks once in the room.

     "No he won't. I promise."
