Here is the remake ending to Chapter 1, emphasizing their secret status
The transition from tactical partners to lovers happened in the quiet hours following a bloody defense of their shared borders. In a world where everyone was out for blood, they found a rare sanctuary in each other's arms. However, they both knew that in Hell, love is not a strength it is a target. If the other Overlords knew that the King of Chaos and the Queen of Arms were bound by more than just contracts, their enemies would hunt for the weakness in that bond.
So, they made a pact. To the rest of the Pride Ring, they would remain cold, professional, and occasionally even hostile. They crafted a "performance of friendship" that bordered on professional rivalry. In the high-rise lounges of the Overlord meetings, they would trade sharp barbs and narrow glares, acting as if they were nothing more than two powerful predators barely tolerating one another's presence.
Behind the most sophisticated security systems in Hell, within the soundproof walls of their private estates, the masks would finally fall. Only there was she his wife, and he her husband. Only in the shadows could they drop the burden of leadership and be equals. To the public, they were the ultimate power alliance a strategic merger of steel and entropy. But in the dark, they were a secret foundation, a husband and wife quietly preparing to reshape the hierarchy of Hell from the inside out, while the rest of the world looked on, completely unaware of the heart beating beneath the iron.
