He is not a god. He's not anything, not any more than any of us make him to be. He's powerful, of course he is. So are many people here, but it doesn't make them worthy of worship.
[ He gestures at the room at large, not picking out anyone in particular. ]
For God's sake, even if what he claims about himself is true, that's still no reason to worship him! If he aspires to be the Devil, then he aspires to bring out the very worst in everyone that he touches. There's nothing good, or honourable, or just, in any of that. So he deserves neither worship nor followers.
And all power can be measured. Even his. We will find a way. [ He reaches for her, putting his hand on her arm and moving closer. D'Artagnan's dark eyes are nothing but sincere. He entirely believes that Raina is the victim here, and he wants to do everything he can to reassure her. ] Everyone has a weakness. Even him. I'll find it, and I'll protect you, Mademoiselle. I promise you.
