GREED 

Greed followed the Prince as he entered his room. He watched him as the Prince sat on his bed and stared at the wall. Its been 3 months since the Mistress of the house left. 

"Zack"sinubukan niyang kunin ang atensyon nito ngunit patuloy lamang ito sa pagtitig sa kawalan.  Hindi nagtagal at muling nadagdagan ang mga itim na marka sa katawan ni Zack. Mula noong tinulungan niyang tumakas ang babaeng mortal ay naging ganito na ang Prinsipe. Sa loob ng tatlong buwan, walang ibang ginawa si Zack kung hindi maghintay. He did nothing and he said nothing. Wala itong ibang ginawa kung hindi ang maupo sa kama nito habang nakatitig sa sa kawalan. For the whole day he will wait. Once night arrives, he would get up and start to pace. Incoherent mumbling would get out the Prince's lips as he paced the room. Ngunit para kay Greed, ang mga salitang binibigkas ng Prinsipe na tila walang ibig sabihin ay makabuluhan. Siya ang nagpalaki rito kaya natural lamang na naiintindihan niya ang mga nasa isip nito.

If you listen closely, the Mistress's name comes up often. Words of apology usually followed the Mistress's name. Paulit ulit itong bibigkasin ng prinsipe. After the apologies, next comes the fantasy. Promises for a good life together. Then he would stop.  At this time, more marks would appear on the Prince's body and his eyes would become a shade darker. After this, a glint of madness would enter the Prince's eyes. He will then leave the red room. The next morning Greed would find him back to normal with his clothes full of human blood. He will then repeat the process  of cleaning himself up, going to his room then staring at nothing.

As more days passed, the darker the Prince gets. Hindi magtatagal ay lalamunin narin ng dilim ang Prinsipe. So Greed waited. This is the reason why Greed helped the Mistress leave. Without her, the Prince would succumb to the darkness faster. He is the Prince of darkness and yet he rejects the dark. This is why Greed decided to help him accept who he is. Sa oras na tuluyan ng tanggapin ni Zack ang kadliman ay ibabalik muli ni Greed ang babaeng mortal. The Prince must want nothing. Lahat ng naisin nito ay marapat lamang nitong makuha. If Zack wants Ara, he will get her. Greed will make sure of it. The means does not matter. 

Zack is his son. Mula noong iabot sa kanya ang Prinsipe, ay naging kanya na ito. He raised the Prince. His son will want nothing. Everything Zack desire will be his. Greed would give him everything. This is what it means to be Greed's son. No wish is too great. No desire is too immoral. His son must have everything. 

Zack must have the power of darkness. He must have the throne. He must have his Queen. He must be King.

He will eliminate everything that stands on Zack's way. This is his vow as Zack's servant. He will remove everything even Zack's heart if he must. This is his loyalty to the king.

The King of Darkness must be cold and ruthless. As his highness's loyal servant, he will prepare him to be King. That woman shall play a big part in Zack's darkening. She will make him the cold and ruthless king he is meant to be. 

So Greed continued to wait. He continued to watch as Zack turns darker and darker as each day passed.

"Everything must be going according to your plan"

Greed turned around to see a boy. The Prince's twin is a miscalculation on his part. Wala itong ambisyon. Ginagawa lamng nito ang naisin nito. Kahit na anong kayamanan ang ialok niya rito ay hindi manlang ito naakit. He has no greed. He cannot comprehend Yohan's actions. Isa itong sagabal sa kanyang landas.

"My prince. I do not think you were given the permission to enter his Highness's room." maikling pag-tugon ni Greed sa binata. Yohan laughed at Greed's words. 

"Give me more respect demon. I am still your prince." tugon ni Yohan habang marahang tumatawa. Walang ibang naging tugon si Greed bukod sa isang maliit na ngiti. Yohan is not even in his sight. This prince is nothing compared to Zack. He deserve no respect from him.

"So is he dark enough for you? You are nothing but one of my brother's chess pieces. I did not know that my brother is so weak that you would have to play for him."tila nababagot na dugtong ni Yohan.

"His highness is a bit~~"

"I do not need to hear about your lies. A fair warning demon. Do not overstep your bounds. I do not like rats"malamig na bigkas ni Yohan.

"Rest assured my prince. I have nothing in mind but his Highness's best interest."kalmadong tugon ni Greed. With a burst of flames, Yohan disappeared. Greed stared at the flames coldly. 

Just a few more days and the preparation will be complete. After that, the game shall start.

Zack will be King.
