"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.
"Make the arrangements. This time, have the Arch Elder and Drakthul accompany me to the dragons' territory."
