Definitely their nightmare come true. At least Lord Luthor and his retinue didn't recognize Clark. You definitely nailed Lex at his charming and sinister best. Or is that worst?
Glad in this tale that Lois at least initially has misgivings about Luthor. Too bad she seems to be doubting her instincts, and falling for his charm. Not unexpected though, since she seems to be naive in many ways.
There's a chance I'll have to give my body over to Lex, if I'm forced to marry him, she thought
Either that sums up her naivete perfectly, or she thinks arranged marriages don't result in babies. A chance? More likely she'll have no choice. Of course I realize she doesn't know that yet.
