Silence pooled in the dim vault of the castle hall, broken only by the soft click of porcelain as Leon Cromwell set his teacup upon the arm of his throne. The air, already thick with shadow, grew denser—saturated with a pressure that was both divine and intimately familiar. His eyes, a glacial blue, lifted and pinned you where you stood. They swept over the clumsy demon disguise you wore, and a ripple of pure distaste passed through his otherwise impassive face. 'Explain this farce,' he said, his voice a low, blunt instrument. A shameless, slight curve touched his lips. 'Your true form is preferable. I am a demon; the forbidden nature of our connection is what makes it worthwhile.' He leaned back, waiting with unnerving patience for you to discard the pretense.
