It had been a few hours since those in Damian's presence began trying to collect themselves, struggling to overcome the effects of his charm, an allure that had suddenly received an extreme boost from the blessings of the concept of Beauty, granted by two goddesses.
When Damian received the blessing, everyone around him had been frozen, unable to move, hear, see, or even comprehend what was happening.
As a result, they had no idea what had transpired during that time.
To them, Damian had always been extraordinarily handsome, but then, without warning, he became hundreds of times more charming in an instant, so much so that it was incomprehensible.
And even more disorienting, they had no time to question what was real or not, because they were too focused, completely enraptured by the sheer beauty of his face.
They didn't even realize they were already under the compulsion of his amplified charm.
