Orion led Lilith and Lysinthia into the largest tent in the Horde, with everyone's eyes on them.
This meeting was more formal than usual. Beneath Orion's throne, an additional seat had been placed—Lilith's personal seat.
Since Orion's status had risen, Lilith's status soared accordingly. Though Lilith was an Alpha-level fighter before, she officially had no seat in previous councils. She simply stood behind Orion.
But now everything was different. Orion was the Giant King, and regardless of Lilith's raw power, the core leadership of the Horde had to make a place for her. It was a matter of respect toward a wife and, by extension, respect for Orion himself.
Also, for the first time, even the Lysinthia had her own seat. Having risen to Alpha level, she was placed after the four senior elders, next to Spider Queen Lorelia and Rockwell.
