I'm sorry but I need to ask: What would have happens if Emile and Virgil succeeded to capture Janus? What would they did to him? And why Roman does not explain to Emile what is really happening and that is Janus the prince that is really in danger? And why Janus has scales? Is because he has magic???

Gonna answer it in reverse order cause it'll make sense that way. Sit tight cause this is gonna be a long ramble :D

1. Why does Janus have scales?

Janus was cursed in the womb (this may have something to do with the propositioner character). Janus's birth was what caused his mother's passing, leaving their father to raise Logan and Janus himself until he, too, passed, leading to Logan being the next king

2. Why didn't Roman explain to Emile the situation?

Actually, Roman did try to explain the situation, but after the rumour of Janus's lying ability being very strong and also Virgil noting how Roman himself was also an excellent liar (thanks to his lie about getting food for "his brother" when they met at the bar), they had reason to doubt Roman's words, though part of Emile wants to trust Roman, he has no choice but to cast doubt until they find Janus to prove anything

3. What would Emile and Virgil do if they did capture Janus too?

They'd keep word low and try to interrogate him first, asking why he would try to kill Patton

Janus is confused and denies this. Emile has to ask Virgil to hold back from harming Janus, as it would be in their best interest to not physically harm him rather get him to talk by leading the conversation

From there, they'd take note to try to find contradictions in his story

They turn to leave Janus in his cell until he asks about Roman

Virgil is surprised that Janus would worry about someone who the Propositioner claimed to have just been a pawn, and now considers talking to Roman about Janus

Roman is hostile so they had to restrain Roman to prevent him from attacking Virgil or Emile when they talk to him (he's hostile here since unlike in the main storyline, he knows that Janus was captured and thus wants to try to escape so Janus may be freed)

Roman and Virgil have a talk and when they reach the topic of where he heard the rumor from, Virgil describes the Propositioner

Recognizing the description, Roman informs Virgil that the person he spoke to was the one who wanted Janus assassinated

Horrified, Virgil leaves Roman and talks to Patton

Patton, being the voice of morality, tells Virgil to consider what he feels is true, which is that Janus may not be the villain

Virgil goes back to try to talk to Roman again just to confirm, but finds several guards have been knocked out along the halls

Roman had escaped. Virgil hurries to the dungeon to secure Janus, which he thankfully got to first

Of course, Roman was following behind him and they have a rematch duel

They're at a stalemate until Janus reaches out from his cell to distract/restrain Virgil

Roman takes this as an opportunity to knock out Virgil

Janus is freed

Clinging to consciousness, Virgil asks "why do you protect him? Why is the Propositioner after Janus?"

Roman briefly responds "I don't know what they plan to do, but I will protect my love, even from you"

Virgil's vision fades as Roman and Janus escape

Virgil wakes up to Patton laying next to him, looking like he fell asleep worried

With a sigh of relief, Virgil gives Patton a soft kiss and Patton snuggles up to him

After some time, Emile walks in and informs Virgil of Janus's escape

Virgil gently pries himself off Patton as to not disturb his sleep

Emile's patience begins to run thin, venting to Virgil about his frustration of wanting to be kind for Patton's sake, but with everything that's happened involving Janus, he isn't sure what to do about the relation between his kingdom and Logan's

Virgil begins to explain to Emile his findings

Now with a tone filled with strong regret, Emile has to find a way to apologize to Logan whilst finding this Propositioner, who evidently seems to be the real threat to the royalty

Janus and Roman are on the run again, but this time feel more secure

However, Janus reaches an emotional breaking point and tells Roman about how he feels guilty for all the trouble Roman was in, for the damaged relationship of Emile, and for (what he imagines) the emotional anguish and stress that Logan's been through

They talk and Roman convinces Janus that maybe it would be better if Janus and Logan talked

Janus is afraid, knowing that Logan would most likely be very upset with him, but Roman assures him that since they're brothers, Logan may have a soft spot to forgive him after some anger, as he expects with Remus

So they make their way back to Logan's kingdom, unaware of the a mysterious following them

When they return to Logan's kingdom, they rent room in an inn by the outskirts of town (for resting purposes and memories of when they first started)

But with a knock on their door, Roman opens it and is immediately knocked out

Upon waking up, Janus is nowhere to be found. There's a note, telling Roman that he's done his job

Not knowing what that means, Roman runs around town to try to find Janus. Instead, he runs into Remus

Remus is understandably mad, but is more relieved to see Roman again

Creativitwins have a sibling moment where they Roman apologizes for what he did in front of their father and Remus going “Welp you better have a good explanation for this” and Roman recounts everything to Remus

Meanwhile, Janus had been taken back to their castle, where Logan confronts Janus about everything

Turns out the group was hired by Logan to track Janus to bring him home, sparing Roman for Creativity's sake

Now Janus and Logan get into an argument about how much damage Janus had caused

Janus tries to smooth talk out of this but Logan tells him he's grounded to his room (cause mom-Logan)

Janus is upset, being back but it's all a mess now. He breaks down, his thoughts of his adventure with Roman being an escape for him

He thinks about everything and now his thoughts cast doubts to him about if Roman deserved better

And thus ends that long rant cause this may end up being a p angsty sideplot for the AU lmao
