Five-Race Alliance

"She has very deep eyes, but I don't sense any hint of conspiracy from her."

"My dear, if you don't trust her, you can always have her sign a slave contract."

Orion shook his head, then, after a moment's thought, spoke to Delilah.

"I plan to take her with me to this southern alliance meeting."

He stated his intention plainly; he wasn't really asking for advice. He just wanted to hear Delilah's reaction. Sometimes, seeing things from a third-party perspective could be more illuminating.

"You want to test her?"

"In a way."

Delilah frowned. Until now, she had regarded Sylvana as just another female Beastman seeking a place on Orion's bed, something Delilah didn't really worry about. A mutual intrigue between a man and a woman was hardly her concern.

But since Orion had specifically mentioned Sylvana, Delilah had to be more cautious.
