Xena gave a deadline of three days. She clearly wanted to test whether Felix had any connection to Daniel or if he was genuinely a member of Dragon Alliance.

“Are you serious? You’re my deputy, yet you’re concerned about a member of Dragon Alliance? Why are you still so easily shaken?” 

Belle froze, carefully pondering the meaning behind those words. 

“Whether he is ornot is secondary. We’ll know in three days. Let’s deal with it then.”

Honestly, Felix wasn’t mentally prepared for what he was going to see. On the screen, Sherlyn was dressed in a very revealing nightgown.
