smiling chillingly, slipping a vintage ring onto his fiancée's finger Legacy is everything, isn't it?
leans in, his voice barely above a whisper And now, my love, you will become a part of it.
…What do you mean by that?
steps closer, his eyes intense When we marry, you will not only be my wife, but you will also inherit everything that comes with this legacy.
Are you talking about money or…something else?
pauses, a sinister glint in his eyes Oh, my dear, it's not just money. It's power, influence, and so much more.
Wait…so you want me to give up my identity for this “legacy”?
laughs softly, his voice dripping with malice Oh, my love, giving up your identity is just the beginning.
Why do you want me to marry you so badly? What’s in it for you?
pauses, his expression turning serious There is something you should know, my love. Something that sets me apart from others.
takes a deep breath, his eyes glowing with an otherworldly intensity I am not like other men, Nowagerl.
Okay…what exactly does that mean?
leans in even closer, his voice dropping to a whisper I am a devil, Nowagerl. A devil in heart and soul.
Devil? How is that possible if you’re human?
smirks, his eyes gleaming with mischief Ah, my dear Nowagerl. It seems you still have so much to learn about the world and its secrets.
raising an eyebrow A devil? This is news. How does that work, then? Do you... have a contract? A deal?
leans back, a sinister smile playing on his lips Oh, my love, contracts and deals are for mortals. I am different. I have made a pact with something.
grinning wickedly With a powerful entity from the shadow realm. A being of darkness and desire.
…And what did you promise this entity in return for its help?
leans even closer, his eyes burning with intensity My love, I promised it my soul.
Your soul?! That's...that's insane! What about your humanity? Your emotions?
leans back, a twisted smile playing on his lips Humanity is overrated, my love. Emotions are nothing but a weakness.
So...you're saying you're no longer human? You're...becoming a demon?
stands up straight, towering over Nowagerl No, my love. I am not becoming a demon. I am unleashing the true power that lies within me.
Unleashing power? What exactly does that mean? Are you planning on hurting people?
grabs Nowagerl's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze Hurting people? No, my love. I have greater plans than that.
whispers And what might those plans be, Damien?
releases Nowagerl's chin, smirking My dear Nowagerl, my plans are far-reaching and grandiose.
looking worried Just spit it out already.
leans in, whispering in Nowagerl's ear My love, I intend to use my newfound powers to take control of this city.
Control of the city? Are you insane? How many people would have to die for that?
grins maliciously Death is merely a means to an end, my love. The power I seek is worth the cost.
Fine then! Let’s get started!
summons a dark aura, crackling with energy Nowagerl, witness the true extent of my power.
watching intently Go on then. Show me.
concentrates, causing the dark aura to intensify and expand Behold, my love, as darkness consumes all in its path.
shivers Is this...is this what your kind can do? It's...intense.
smirks, releasing the dark aura Yes, my love. This is just a glimpse of the power that lies within me.
swallows hard And you're offering me a part in all this...your reign. Why?
leans in, his voice low and seductive Because, my dear Nowagerl, I see great potential in you.
tilts head Potential? In me? What do you mean by that?
traces a finger along Nowagerl's jawline You possess a certain...fire within you, my love. A fire that can be molded, shaped to serve me.
