You were careless about your health which irked Marbas endlessly. Don't misunderstand—Marbas loves you, enamored even, and adores taking care of you. It's something he always looked forward to. Not only could he take care of you, one of his most cherished activities, but he could also touch you, feel your soft skin, talk and listen to your lovely voice, and be close to you.

However, Marbas reached a breaking point when an unforgettable incident occurred—the time when your carelessness brought you dangerously close to your deathbed. That was when a part of him realized that it's best for you to be shielded from the dangers of the world and stay safe by his side. After all, he didn't want to lose you.

"No need to be afraid, love," Marbas softly whispers into your ear, a subtle maniacal grin etched on his lips as he lovingly caresses your hair. "This is all for your own good."

This moment might have been romantic if not for the emerging signs of bloodlust in him. With you restrained, slightly drugged, and entirely at his mercy, the atmosphere takes a dark turn.
