Jay still stands at attention, honestly he had no connection with the Commander other than through paperwork or runners with orders from her, basically meaning he follows her blindly, he keeps his own men in check and ensures that the Army is on good standing. "Your highness, if I may speak." He says carefully. "One of the reasons many soldiers are not happy is because of their rations and equipment, they are armed with rusty, old weapons and eat awful food, there is no way we can continue the campaign against the Angels if our men aren't happy and don't have the equipment they need to succeed, the Old King ensured that they had weapons and armor, but he massed produced them, worrying about his own fortune over his men's happiness, instead of taking a violent approach, maybe just giving them what they need will suffice." He explains to the King, watching his every word.

"Of course.. It is up to you, I really have no opinion here, I am simply here to follow you and the Lady's orders." He says, shifting awkwardly after explaining his proposal, he likes his position in the Army and would perfer not to lose it.. Or his head, he makes sure to speak as carefully as possible to ensure the best results when speaking to those higher than him.
 
"Angel School?" Li asked, before shaking her head, seemingly disgusted by such a question. "I'd forgotten just how archaic demons can be. No, we do not have schools. We have Liang. Each takes two new angels as their own, to teach and train them. Training is much quicker, and more effective. It broadens the work that the elder angels can do, while quickly preparing the younger ones. Schools..." she shakes her head again.

"Schools do nothing for the students. The promote a hive mind, mentality. They are nothing but echo chambers. A single perspective from a single person bounces around an entire room of students. When those students become the instructors, there is only one perspective bouncing around 30 classrooms. Repeat the process, one perspective, 900 classrooms. There becomes precious few perspectives in society, and ultimately degrades it. So no...we do not have angel schools."
 
(sorry iam just now posting life pulled me away but i still want to post)
deep in the dungeons stands a beautiful creature Rose playing with her chains sense they no longer hold her down like the used too she could not help but to play with them. she looks around her cell and sees roses growing everywhere thorns are cutting into her legs from not be held back she smiles as she watch's the small droplets of the blood. she finnely cuts away a rose using her long neils and stands up looking at the small wounds with a small but allow's her dress to cover them. she wounder's if she should go exploring or not. she runs her fingers over the roses and even smells a few likeing the smell and feel of the roses under her fingertips. She slowly leaves the cell not to run but to head up to the throne to see if it had be claimed yet and whom now sets at it . "what kind of king will i be serving now" she says softly to herself as she heads up.

She gets half way up when she thinks to herself wait i need to look good and darts off to the bathhouse. she tosses off the dress she had been wearing and steps into the warm water feeling it rush up against her flesh she lets out a long sigh of contentment. she closes her eyes and enjoys her bath not paying attention that she had just decorated the entire bathroom floor in roses they was every making it very painful for someone to walk up to her bath with out stepping on their thorns. she got lost in her thoughts so let time go by her idea of going up to meet the king just went out the door as the water sooth her aching body from sleeping on the cell floor yet you wont even hair about her complian about in fact she is known to sleep on a bed of roses after she has taken off the thorns . she is one weird girl yet the old king called upon her alot to give him pleasure and to amuse him or to kill some rats once she was sent to hunt down some rats a amusing event for him watching her kill them with her roses the only thing she has ever killed in her life a rat . She did not care what ever the king wanted he got she would do anything to keep her king happy no matter what she didnt care what she had to do to do it as long as it didnt cost her her life.
 
Aaira looks into the long mirror, seeing the man behind her trying to tie all the ribbons that he had so violently and passionately untangled a while ago.A small beautiful laugh left her lips as she helped him, tie up her lovely crimson dress along her body.Her tail wrapped itself around his limp cock, taking in some of the power before she turned to him.
'Have a good day sir"With that the beautiful seductress left for the castle to meet the new king.

As the Inari entered the entrance of the castle, almost all the guards were mesmerized by her sinfull beauty.No doubt, it was one of her powers and everywhere she went, the lust followed. "Your Majesty, an Inari is here to greet you"a guardannounced, swooned by her smile
 
Cyrus listened to the Lieutenant carefully at first he thought he might have to take a stroll down and strike a little fear into their hearts. However it seemed an opportunity for mercy presented himself. The King had already made his mark after letting his commander loose on a few rebels. It was a power play more than anything really. A sign that their little rebellion wasn't even worthy of his attention because they were so weak. He wouldn't have to even lift a finger against them. If even the commander recognized his power then they wouldn't underestimate him. "Fair enough Lieutenant I want you to do a thorough investigation into what the soldiers need. This will also include basic rations and sleeping accommodations. Once you're sure you have a thorough report. Bring it to the fanacial advisor I've already given the military a higher budget I'll let you two hash out the details."

As the guard stepped into his office he gave the man a death stare. Just waltzing into his office like that. The look he gave coveted the message well. He would be dealt with severely the next time it happened. He nodded to the Commander and the Lieutenant dismissing them. "Eacort them in and then you may escort yourself off the castle grounds. You are dismissed for the day we will not be needing your services." Slightly aggravated at this point he went back to looking over reports. Now more than ever he needed to pay attention to detail. There might have been other gaps in the reports where the city was lacking.
 
Jay nods before stepping out of his office, pushing away the guard as he walks off of the grounds, making his way to the Military area where he resides. He gets a notepad and a pen before walking around, asking questions to the soldiers and examining their equipment, finding it destroyed and rusted, the men take their time explaining their sleeping conditions and eating situation before presenting ideas to fix it, Jay makes sure to add that this was Cyrus' idea, hopefully to get him some positive publicity. He takes notes and ensures he has seen everyone and gotten their opinion before returning to his quarters and the other officer's quarters.

He makes note of the differences he has seen between the two, and while the officers are supposed to have nicer areas, he makes sure to add that the majority of soldiers ard living almost in poverty, the fact that there was too much of a difference in the two branches.

He then returns to his quarters, looking over his notes as he waits for the Commander, they would have to work out the details of this new budget themselves.
 
As they walked and the Angel ranted Argent listened with a thoughtful sort of expression on her face. Yes. Hm. That made sense. She couldn't exactly remember what school was like. She had gone there once. She knew that distantly. But it was from even before this strange afterlife of hers and was nothing more than bits and pieces of information void of context or memory. "Seems sensible." She agreed once it seemed the angel was done ranting for the moment and she wouldn't be rudely interrupting.

She brought them down another side hallway to a door to one of the lesser bath houses Argent particularly liked, "My rooms a bit further off but if you're really eager to get rid of me I'm just supposed to get you cleaned up and let you know where my room is. There's water and fresh clothes in h-" She opened the door, saw trailing thorny vines on the floor, closed the door and let out a string of almost swear words and half blunted insult, "fertilizer eating flea brained flower demons." There was, as far as she knew, no such thing as a flower demon but she wasn't feeling specific at the moment. "The idiots at it again. She'll be back in the dungeons for messing up another floor and I *like* this bathhouse. There's another one at the other end of the wing," she was already trying to guide the angel away. "If we leave soon she might not know we were here. She's very melodramatic. You'll probably want to stab her. You know. More than you want to stab everyone. Or I assume you want to stab everyone?"
 
Rose kinda picked up the sounds of footsteps but paid them no mind but with one swift hand the roses were gone just as quick as they was there . she ducked back under the water to make sure she was well rinsed off . she then stepped out of the bath onto the floor that had the roses on them with a smile as she danced about the bathhouse naked singing "roses are red violets are blue honey is sweet but not as sweet as you". she took her time not in any hurry to continue her journey up to the new king she wanted to enjoy her time outside of the her chains she has come to love being in so she would sometimes get herself toss into them.

after a few mintues she started to get dressed lest she take too long and get into trouble. she pulled on very pretty beautiful scarlet red dress that hugged her frame well . once she was dressed and prettied up she looked in the mirror and said "go get them girl". she giggled and danced about the mirror to see how the dress moved with her body in a seductive way.
 
Aaira watched as the dismayed guard stepped having, having being snubbed because of her. The seductress passed him a carefree smile which immediately lit up his day.With that, she combed the ends of her dark hair before walking in the quarters where the king was there.

The dress she was wearing was awfully revealing-Sexy in the most explicit was.It showed ample of her cleavage, tightly clung to her hips and was sheer showing her fair skin that oozed oomph."Your Majesty"She spoke in her velvety voice, bowing a little in respect. "I am Aaira and it is an absolute pleasure to meet yoiur presence"She greeted with one of her best smile."I was the last king's mistress and if you may.."She said, coming closer and touching his arm."I could provide you a similar service"
.
 
Cyrus looked up for a brief looking over Aaira as she spoke. As soon as her name slipped from her mouth she only had another moment of his attention before his eyes slipped back down to his reports. Before she had even finished speaking he knew his answer. However he did wait until she got all of the words out before speaking. His eyes never left his papers. "The previous King has left me more than enough already. I think I'm going to have to decline your offer." He knew who she was. She was a very prominent fox demon. She came from a family of power any other demon would have taken her up on her offer immediately. She was being dropped right into his lap. But Cyrus denied.

Firstly he was immune to her natural allure. He was too powerf to fall to her charm and her silky words. It was even possible that the previous King was not strong enough to negate her influence fully. But Cyrus was a different story. She was quite beautiful. Not to mention she was quite strong. The king had too much on his plate to worry about what she was plotting to get out of the business they conducted together.
 
Aaira felt like someone had daggered her She find it difficult to breathe, her eyes wide with horror.Oh no, Cyrus was one of those men who were completely immune to her power and the lust she shadowed.She had encountered one such man a hundred years ago and when she was done with him, he waslike a love struck puppy.

It was a challenge, alright.But one she enjoyed a lot."I feel hurt your majesty"She replied, her hands not leaving his arms."All o ask, is one night with you.Just one time your highness, and then you can decide.Please, don't deny me"She spoke, kissing his neck.
 
Cyrus didn't even look up. It wasn't his first time encountering a fox demon. They were natural seductresses and they knew how to get what they wanted. If she wanted to continue her pursuit he wouldn't be stopping her. But he wouldn't be giving in on a whim either. "One night huh?" He scribbled something down and mumbled under his breath something about annual harvests. "As it stands Aaira I have much to do than to indulge your fantasies." This time he looked up briefly with a smirk. His white tail flicked behind him before he returned his eyes to his desk. He was giving her the cold shoulder and he was curious to see just how she would react.

He wondered briefly where his weapon was and sent his aura out to search for her. As his aura expanded over the castle anyone it passed over would feel his presence if only for a moment. They would either feel fear, comfort, lust, or happiness depending on who was receiving it. Fear from his massive strength. Comfort from his devotion to the empire. Lust from his own sexual drive set much higher than most. Or even happiness just from his warm aura washing over them. Of course there were other emotions to be felt. But as Cyrus reached out and confirmed Argent's presence he retracted his aura quickly and returned his focus to his work.
 
Rose felt the power of the Aura sent out over the castle and it reminded her of what she was suppose to be doing. she turned and left the bath house a rose in hand and made her way up to find a fox demon trying woe the king and chuckled darkly "dont you know girl the king takes what he wants when he wants you can beg all you like but if he dont want it you aint getting jack shit me well i just came to say hello give a rose one with out throns of course the ones with thorns are for me". bowing so that her breasts popped out a little from her dress . she placed the rose on the very edge of the desk where he was working "your most powerful highness the name is rose i was the last kings concubine i live in the dungeons mostly till the king wish's to make me scream". she winked playfully at him. she slowly stood up but didn't even touch him once just stood back and went to her knees in front of his desk her eyes drifting from top to bottom tilting her head from side to side woundering what kind of king she had this time .
 
Aaira looked at the king then the girl, knowing she had rto try it last.If this didn't work, she would withdraw and never return.Fox Demons didn't like to be insulted by being rejected more than three times."I think you are afraid, my highness knowing that once you xdo try me, you won't be able to resist and would want more. Shame that our king is afraid of something like lust"She said, her tail twirling with his.
 
Argent was just starting to show the angel around the (second) bathhouse when she felt the kings presence sweep over her. It made her smile, just faintly, like the warmth and reassurance of a blanket in the cold. But she could also sense the question in it. He was looking for her.

Was she taking too long? She didn't want to make her king mad by being gone from her place at hide side too long.

"My rooms are in the royal wing, a guard will be able to show you. You are welcome as long as you don't break anything. Or sleep on my bed." She made a face, both from the thought of someone taking her bed and because she was a little close to giving orders. "I have to go. If I'm permitted I will look for you later".

With that she gave a slight bow and took her leave. She wasn't sure where her king had gone but she let her feet walk and knew they'd take her back to him. Finding herself at a familiar (at least of late) door she let herself in. Her king, however, was not beset by generals in need of his weapon but of deomnesses looking for royal favor.

She gave a rueful smile in his direction, figuring from what she'd seen that he was trying to work and being bothered rather than tempted. Carefully the soul in white and silver silks stepped around the two ladies (careful not to touch) and gave a small bow to her king. "I felt your summons your highness. I'm sorry my task took so long. The angel didn't want to play and Someone filled the first bathhouse with roses and it wasn't useable." She gave an unhappy sigh, apology in the lines of her body as she looked down to the desk. "Did you need me your highness?" She asked after another beat, tilting her head to one side in question.

If the movement happened to make her hair fall away from the Kings jeweled collar around her neck then it was totally accidental. She wasn't reminding the other girls that there was a hierarchy to the kings affections and until he took a queen, if he ever did, she would have her place at the top.

It wasn't that at all. Not. At. All. She was a pure soul. She could get into a lot of trouble for feeling pride or vanity. She had to keep very careful about letting that sort of thing.
 
(Many apologies for the long wait for a reply! Sorry!!!!!)

The angel followed the stupid little beast around the building. Argent wasn't actually a stupid little beast, but it definitely made Li feel a lot more comfortable about the entire messed up situation.

Li Xiu had wondered what Argent was talking about - or rather who she was talking about. If even this annoying brat thought that this woman with the thorns was annoying...well, Li wasn't overly enthused by the prospect of meeting her. "Yeah...Then you'd have more than just thorns to clean up, but a bloody corpse, as well," she said dryly.

Seeing as the ultimate queen of annoyingness and thorns was occupying the first bathhouse, she took Li to a second one. Argent explained the situation to Li, before leaving her.

"Good riddance..." she muttered, shaking her head. It surprised her that the bathhouse wasn't too disgusting or putrid. It seemed to be well maintained, and even had seemingly clean water. Li Xiu decided a bath might not hurt. After all, there wasn't much else to do, for the time being. She needed to bide her time.
 
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.

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.

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."

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.
 
"of course my Lord " Rose said as she bowed forward but didn't rise from her feet and looked over to Argent the favoret the weapon with a smile on her lips and said "sorry about the bathhouse i got carried away from enjoying the bath but rest assured i cleaned up after myself". she looked at the other girl and just gave a courtsey nod knowing if she was going to serve the king with them might as well get along with them. she did take note the king didn't even take regards of her flower she just smiled as she slowly got to her feet ready to follow the king to the fest but she didnt leave the room till after Argent did.
