Lucien rolled his eyes. "Haha, that's funny, Dad. But Avalerry is not part of my harem," he sighed.
"They were all enemies in the past, and even now, my women are giving me the cold shoulder just because I agreed to let Avalerry stay here."
"What do you think would happen if I actually made her part of my harem?"
Cassius exhaled a cloud of smoke, leaning back with a smirk. "Well, duh. That's why you need to be not only wise but firm. Set boundaries with Avalerry, if you can."
Lucien furrowed his brow. "What's with that smirk? Are you challenging me?"
Cassius shrugged, a teasing glint in his eye. "I don't know, son. But I think you care about Avalerry, maybe in a platonic way or maybe romantically? Who knows? Only you have the answer."
