Crown Shield
Crown Shield is Cyrus' illegitimate half-sibling. Although they share a father, there is nothing else they have in common. As Crown Shield puts it, Cyrus is a stain to their name and to the court. Even if Crown Shield wishes for a better relationship, their disagreement with each other doesn't come from an argument; it comes from a conflict in their personhoods.

In Chapter 5, Crown Shield enters the jousting tournament under an alias of your choosing. If you do not wish to joust against Cyrus yourself, Crown Shield does and wins against Cyrus.

Theodosia Nevrakis
In Chapter 4, you and Crown Shield discover that Cyrus and Theodosia have entered a secret relationship, where Cyrus has promised her that they will reveal their deep, abiding, and passionate love to the public after he is crowned king. However, when Emery Beaumont announces that Cyrus and he/she are betrothed, Theodosia angrily throws two glasses of wine into Cyrus's face. It is assumed their alliance has been broken.

Your Character
Cyrus meets you during your House's Noble Debut. He conspires with Damon Fierro to vote against your house, but is subject to peer pressure if you push him to hold his tongue. In Chapter 3, he uses your sigil animal as the prey for the Hunt, increasing your dislike for him. If you decide to distract him from the animal's trail by giggling, Crown Shield compliments you for knowing Cyrus's weakness. In Chapter 4, Cyrus interrupts your date with Emery Beaumont and you discover that he is playing both Emery and Theodosia. In Chapter 5, you have the premium option to joust against him under Crown Shield ' s entry into the tournament.

Pompadour
Lord Pompadour has been Cyrus' beloved pet for years. He doesn't only talk to Pompadour in front of others, but also in private as you and your friends watch during the Hunt.

Pumpernickel
Lady Pumpernickel was Cyrus' pet before Lord Pompadour. According to Crown Shield, she ran away.
