Cyrus had to commend Aaira on her strong will. She knew what she wanted and she would be throwing everything at him to succeed. He knew all too well about the fox demons and their pride. But the king quite enjoyed things building up as they were. He had no real invested interest but she stood quite beautiful and filled with desire. "Oh? I believe you are mistaken. It is you that would become addicted." Standing quickly he took hold of her waist pulling her in close. He eyed her carefully his tail flicking and curling behind him. The look in his eyes were that of predator upon prey. He was just about to go into details before Rose came in. A concubine from the previous King. Another asset that he inherited. However he would be removing a lot of such assets to start fresh. He didn't much like picking up the pieces the previous King had claimed. If such concubines were to stay in his home he would rather them being to his preference. And he found out quick he and the previous King had different tastes.<br/><br/>He eyed Rose wearily. Was she worth keeping around? It was a question he would have to answer later because another joined their growing party. Letting out a long sigh Cyrus greeted Argent with a nod. "I just wanted an update on our guest. It seems she won't be much of a problem for now. He felt thought he felt the presence of asserting dominance. It almost made him smirk a bit. Was Argent pressing for her place at the top? Pride almost took over his face before regaining his composure.<br/><br/>There was no doubt in his voice. He wasn't asking he was giving orders. "You've crowded my office long enough. Settle any disputes among yourselves. I don't have the patience for this." He looked to Aaira. "If you're so keen on sticking around I offer place in my home until we come to terms. We will find out quickly if you're still have the resolve for life in the castle." He turned to Rose with a glare. "Any more problems out of you and you'll be punished. I expect you on your best behavior." He took a look at Argent confirming his commands. "I suspect you can handle Li Xiu. I have no need for any in my home that cannot follow orders."<br/><br/>Cyrus turned to regard all three of them. "Now then I will be leaving for a feast. You are welcome to join me as long as you keep the squabbling among yourselves." All three were trying for power plays among them. He couldn't blame them either. He was fresh on the throne with no powerful female figure at his side. It was a chance to rise to the top and it was slipping away by the second. Many contenders were stepping up. It would be he worst case scenario to end up at the bottom of the ladder. But he had other things to worry about then picking favorites. He sent a guard to retrieve Li to join them. Without another word he left for the dining hall.
