Can someone PLEASE help me EDIT my PARAGRAPH??? (EASY POINTS)?

Just as the natives fell prey to Cortés’s trap, so did the prince of Mexico, Montezuma. Omens, and prophets predicted the arrival of “Cortes” and so Montezuma welcomed the Spaniards with open arms. However, once Cortes defame Montezuma’s belief by stating he believes in “evil things that are called devils,” he started to feel remorse towards his hospitality towards Cortes. Half angry, Montezuma replied by stating “we consider them to be very good, for they give us health, rains.. and as many victories as we desire.” The small inevitable tension between the two precipitated from this point on. In due time, the overlord would become a prisoner in his own city. The reason for this is because the “Spanish captains and soldiers prevailed upon Cortes to place Moctezuma under arrest in order to forestall any rebellion against them.”
