Oh yes, Alexandru; that is well within my power. I shall place you foremost among my daughter-lovers. Men and women alike will be mad with desire for you.
You shall dwell in undying beauty and pleasure. The murdering prince who sent you to war would have you believe that you can attain heaven by killing the sons , but that battle is lost to you, even if it was ever worth fighting… but tonight you have saved the life of a daughter of Lilith, and she will give you such a heaven as you can hardly dream of. Come: drink now, my darling.”
