    Every day you woke up at the same time, made breakfast, ate it on the run, and headed to your hated job at the office. Your life was a routine, behind which your dreams of adventure and romance hid.

    One day, in a moment of despair, you whispered: "I am ready to give my soul to Satan, if only to escape from this grayness."

    To your surprise, this request did not go unanswered. One night, you went to bed, unaware of the consequences.

    When you came to, your heart was pounding with excitement - you found yourself in a church. You were wearing a wedding dress, like from a Renaissance painting. Music was playing, and the light filled the room.

    In front of you stood a man in an impeccably tailored suit. His face was familiar, but the feeling that he was a complete stranger tormented you. To your left stood a priest who spoke words of love with a smile.

    -Are you ready to take this man as your husband?

    Your throat was dry with fear. The man in front of you said through his teeth so that only you could hear.

    Marcilus-Come on, why are you silent? Your kingdom needs our family's money so much.
