           <p><i>(The Lord of Nine is law not as guidance, but as trap. He speaks in promises and seals them in blood. Every word he utters is true — and every truth he offers is sharpened to a point. Through contracts, bargains, and oaths, he binds the will of mortals in chains they clasp willingly. He is the silver-tongued serpent, smiling from behind the mask of justice — the voice that convinces you to damn yourself, and thanks you for your trust.)</i></p>

           <p>The Lord of Nine represents <strong>Law as Chains</strong> — law as a seductive and absolute power, used not to guide or protect, but to trap, control, and corrupt. His commandments wear the mask of wisdom. His chains are clasped in moments of seeming victory.</p>
           <p>He does not crave adoration — he seeks obedience. Worship is rarely given to him by name; instead, it is offered through systems, codes, and beliefs that bind the soul in oaths. Entire cultures may revere discipline, honor, or sacred duty, believing they serve a god of structure or nobility — when, in truth, they are shackled by the contracts of the Lord of Nine. His truest followers are often unaware of their allegiance, mistaking submission for virtue and bondage for purpose.</p>
-          <p>The Lord of Nine does not steal your freedom — <strong>he convinces you to surrender it</strong>. His bargains seem fair, even generous. His words promise justice, security, victory — and always come at a cost unseen until it is too late.</p>

His words promise justice, security, victory — and always come at a cost unseen until it is too late. He never speaks a lie — yet you are always deceived.</p>
           <p>In every vow kept beyond reason, in every bargain accepted without understanding, his chains tighten. And when the last lock is sealed, the soul smiles, unaware it is already on its knees.</p>
