The Score Of Things

‘With everything in place, things are starting to look up now,’ Ryan thought as he glanced at his people.

Ryan knew that he was a greedy person, but he had selfless intentions. He wanted to take care of the people in front of him and give them all the love that he could bring them.

Of course, what kind of kingdom would it be if it was only built to benefit one person?

Ryan’s greed extended far much more than that, but it encompassed others as well.

The drinks were shared between Tom, Joan, Chrysus, and Ryan. They all sat down to rest, while Steward Lewis, who received no invitation to sit, simply stood by the ready.

Ryan almost felt a little bad for the Steward.

‘I mean, he’s on probation, and I can’t really trust him outright, so I don't need to be that polite. He needs to prove himself first before I consider him as one of my people. There has to be one way to test and judge his character some more,’ Ryan thought.
