A/N: Hey guys it's me again. Giving a shout out to Creator-Of-Nightmare for pointing out something I missed in Chapter 1. When Roderich speaks to Ivan he can understand him. That is because Roderich can speak Neko, but Ivan cannot speak English. The reason why he can will be explained in later chapters. I'm so sorry for the mistake. Well I will double check before I publish.

AS ALWAYS...ENJOY!

CHAPTER 3

Matthew's feet began to grow tired as he followed behind the knight. He wondered how far away from their destination they was. The man had said that he wanted to get home before sun down, yet the sun was falling into the horizion, painting the sky pink as it began it's retirement. The blond began to think about his family. Where were they? Ivan had said he arrested them, but wouldn't they be with the troop. "Why isn't my family traveling with us?"

The pale man began to speak without looking back. "They are with the other half of the troop. When we left the castle our troop split into two. I led the front, we act as bait and clear out any ambush. This is to ensure the safety of the merchandise."
Matthew's head tilted. "Merchandise?"

Ivan bluntly stated. "Yes, the couple we found in the couple, specifically the male. He could speak our language. I want to know why."

Upon hearing that, the younger became defensive. "They are not merchandise, they are living beings. If the troops stayed together you might have not lost that many men." A smirk playing on his lips.

The men all stared shocked at what he had said. Ivan stopped for a minute than snapped around. He gripped the blond by the collar and pulled him close to his face. Venom dripping in his voice. "Are you telling me how to do my job, kitty?" The tone was dark and commanding. A pull at his hips, caused him to unconsciously whine. Unbeknownst he sent out submissive pheromones. The pale cat sniffed the air. Chuckling when it became clear. "You're a beta. And you think that you can tell me what to do? Maybe I should leave you out here all alone. Do you know what will happen to an unmated beta unarmed outside of the castle walls hmmm?" His tone becoming mocking. Matthew whined some more as he tried to pull away. "You would be unmercifully fucked and by your submissive nature, you would love every second of it."

The kitty realized that making Ivan mad was not proving not to be a smart move on his part. His eyes tearing up as the man insulted him. "Sir please, I think he gets the point." A soldier with shoulder length brown hair pleaded to him.

The purple eyes glared down at the kitty for a moment then he sighed. "I guess you're right, Toris." His hands let go of the other and he began to walk away. "Let's go we have almost made it to the castle. Silence covered the next hour as the march continued. Matthew decided against saying anything more. He was afraid of Ivan snapping on him again. When he thought they would never make it, lights flickered through the trees. They came upon a gate and the pale cat looked up.

A voice began to speak. "Ivan, you're back and so soon."

"Shut up and open the gate." He growled obviously still annoyed about the events earlier.

"Ok, ok, geez." The voice stopped and the gate began to creak open.

Matthew's eyes widen at the lights that shined through the streets. Unlike his village that only had a light at the corner of each street. The neko town had lights up and down the street almost like streamers, also the buildings were made of wood instead of stone. The only building that was stone was the castle that reached high in the sky.

The soldiers began talking among each other. They all began to walk away in a group. "Hey Ivan we're all going to the bar. You wanna come?"

The pale man gripped Matthew's arm and shook his head. "I gotta report back to the King." He turned to the kitty. "You are coming too kitty."

The blond's ears flattened against his head. "Matthew." When he saw the confusion on Ivan's face he elaborated. "My name is Matthew, not kitty."

The bigger kitty smirked. "Kitty sounds better." He then began to drag the younger to the castle that was located in front of them.

XXXXXXX

Gilbert was in his study reading the multiple documents that his brother had brought him. His brother knocked on the door than came in. "What now?" The albino groaned.

"Ivan is back and he brought a neko with him." The blond quietly said.

"Let him in." The white man commanded.

Ludwig left the room and a moment later the knight strolled in with a small blond beta in his grip. "Your highness, we have managed to infiltrate a human town." The knight bowed to the other and Matthew decided to follow the example. "When we were there I found that the leader could speak our language. I also found him." He pushed the blond a little forward. The young man would have snapped at him, but he decided against it.

The snow white man looked over the neko in front of him. The scent he was giving off it was clear he was a beta. He could have swore that this kitty was fjamiliar. When he thought about it he looked sort of like Francis, but he brushed that off. "How would a human know how to speak our language?" Even though he had said it aloud, it was obvious that he was speaking to himself. His ruby eyes narrowing in thought. The king than looked up at the kitty. "And who are you?"

Matthew bowed his head. "I am Matthew, the son of the humans that your knights arrested."

Gilbert looked slightly amused. "The son hmmmm, interesting." A grin washed over his face. "Well you are welcome into my village. You will stay with Ivan."

The knight took a step forward. "Um sir, I was hoping he could stay here."

"Nonsense, you have managed to take care of the boy so far. He doesn't seem like much of a problem." Ivan narrowed his eyes as he thought that the king had no idea. The snow white man glared at the man as he noticed the knight's displeasure. "There is no problem, right Ivan?"

Although Ivan was the top knight. He still was uncomfortable when he made threats. "No sir." He quickly stated.

"Alrighty then, it's settled. You can train him as a knight as well. Well if you are done you can go now."

"Thank you sir." The pale cat bowed once more and walked out with the blond kitty behind him. When they reached outsied he begin to complain. "I can't believe this. Not only do you have to live with me, but I have to train you as a knight as well."

Matthew's tail swung defensively. "It's not like I asked for it either.

The cat sighed. "Well there's nothing we can do now. Come on kitty let's go home." He began to make his way to his house.

The blond growled a bit and chased after him. "My name is MATTHEW!"
