"And what does that chapter entail?" "Power, domination... vengeance." "Men are such good talkers, but how rarely they produce more than words." "(Laughs)" "And they call me delusional." "Your wit is as sharp as ever." "Nik is the fool who let you slip away." "And while that loss is punishment enough, rest assured, I will heap more suffering upon his head." "You cannot defeat Niklaus, Lucien." "He is and always has been your better." "(Chuckles)" "I am altogether different now." "Blood of a Mikaelson witch, imbued with dark magic." "This has transformed me into something new with a power unlike anything the world has ever seen." "My bite is lethal, even to a Mikaelson." "Is this more of your boasting, Lucien?" "Oh, no." "It can all be verified easily enough." "Just ask poor Finn." "Oh, wait." "You can't." "I killed him." "The rest of his brothers shall follow soon enough, as the prophecy has stated." "But first..." "I wanted to make you this offer." "(Sighs)" "My proposal is simple." "Join me, Aurora." "Drink this, become what I am, and let us spend the rest of our immortal lives together." "In exchange, you will have my undying love." "And all the revenge you could desire." "I would accept your offer, but I fear I could not enjoy your love or my revenge as long as my brother suffers." "Then allow me this further promise." "Say yes, and by the end of day, you shall have Tristan back." "Or I will relieve his suffering by killing Elijah." "(Sighs)" "You're hovering." "I'm supervising." "How else to speed up your endeavors?" "Let's see." "Perhaps I should bring Vincent here." "Force him to aid you by removing his legs." "Vincent doesn't know how to kill Lucien, either." "Besides, if he leaves the St. James, who knows what the Ancestors will make him do next." "Ancestors are thoroughly occupied, according to Davina, terrorizing our brother Kol." "What a surprise." "Another day, another witch-inspired vendetta." "Well, Davina can take care of Kol for now." "Let us focus our energies on Lucien." "How do we demolish that rodent?" "(Sighs)" "I'm working on it." "Yes."

"No wonder the Ancestors want you out." "Oh, so, you speak for the Ancestors now, is that it?" "Why don't you ask the Ancestors why they trust Lucien Castle, a vampire who's done nothing but lie and kill ever since he set foot in New Orleans." "He killed a Mikaelson, which is more than you ever did." "Oh, come on, man, I'm trying to keep the peace." "And what the Ancestors want to do will start a war."

"And yet you would entertain Lucien's brazen advances?" "Well..." "Do you really think you could ever love that imbecile?" "Oh..." "Poor, sweet Lucien." "After all these years he still remains such a dedicated suitor." "Such a shame I'll never see him as more than a means to an end." "But if he wants to save my brother in a bid to win my heart, why shouldn't I let him?" "Wouldn't be the first of his gifts I've accepted." "After all... he gave me this."
