Why these tropes fit

Damien Bloodthorne, the prophesied son of a demon destined to become a dark lord and destroy the realm, is on the verge of completing his most vicious spell to secure world domination when a bubbly blonde pickpocket named Amma accidentally gets magically chained to him. Forced to drag her across the realm on his unholy crusade, the would-be world-dominating villain—despite wanting to simply kill her—finds that the nauseatingly sweet thief who harbors secrets of her own begins to prove useful, and worse, becomes the source of genuine feelings. Torn between his villainous birthright and the virtue Amma inspires, Damien must choose whether to embrace his nefarious destiny or the tender connection growing between them.
