Time will tell

It had to be said—Lilith was a clever and strategic succubus.

With Delilah already holding the critical position of Stewardship Elder within the succubus clan(tribe), any attempt by Lilith to vie for power would undoubtedly invite gossip and dissent. Just because there wasn't any now didn't mean there wouldn't be in the future.

By positioning herself correctly from the start, Lilith demonstrated her intelligence and foresight.

Her choice to stand behind Orion, rather than taking a seat among the senior elders, earned her the favor and respect of the four senior elders. Aside from Delilah, the other elders nodded slightly in acknowledgment of Lilith's gesture.

Lilith returned their nods with a polite smile, and the meeting resumed.

"This time, our elders Desdemona and Vespera didn't participate in the Myriad Races Invasion. While they're clever, their experience is far too shallow," Delilah began, her tone calm but firm.
