"Soaring Bird City has sent another new caravan on its way to Stoneheart City."
This news did not catch Delilah's attention at first. However, the shadow's next words made her rise abruptly from her seat.
"Your Majesty, in the human caravan, we've discovered a succubus slave."
A flash of killing intent crossed Delilah's face, her gaze cold and chilling.
"Is she one of the scouts we sent out—a member of our own tribe?"
Delilah's voice was frosty as she pressed for more details.
"No, she isn't, Your Majesty."
"Not one of ours?"
That unexpected answer made Delilah look back at the shape in the darkness.
"Your Majesty, that succubus slave does not belong to our particular bloodline. She's from a different, entirely new branch."
Silence fell. The shadow's words shocked Delilah into a long pause. After a while, Delilah's slightly excited voice broke the quiet.
"You're telling me there's another succubus bloodline out there?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Where is their tribe located?"
