Chapter 330: Greed
"Master, why did you make such a deal with that woman?" Grayfia asked Adam now that they were left alone.
"Well, is there a problem with her?" Adam asked as she brought him their dinner.
"There is a deep greed hidden in her eyes. Something like that will invite trouble." Grayfia didn't like her from the start, not to mention she had such audacious claims of putting Adam under her protection.
People like her often bite off more than they could chew. Not only would she put herself in danger, but her stupidity could also ruin Adam's peace later on. Since he included her knowing that, there should be something.
"What's wrong with that?" As expected, he didn't seem to see the problem which stumped her. Seeing that he smiled a little as she took her seat across him hoping to know more.
"Greed isn't a bad thing. After all, everyone does something for a reason. They expect something in return, may that be affection, money, power, affirmation, or favors. The reason may be different but something is always behind every action." He said cutting into the steak, "That's why I don't mind her greed, because she is ready to work for what she wants. Someone like that is better than people who just want things without doing anything."
"It doesn't bother Master...?" Grayfia's eyes widened a little as he shook his head.
"Actually I find it quite attractive." Greed held great importance to Adam. The feeling of wanting something, he was most familiar with this emotion his entire life.
It was the same for Grayfia.
'Everyone has greed... that's correct. Even I made a decision under its influence.' Since she met Adam, her heart has been filled with a sense of longing for him.
Although he wasn't around for long whenever he was, she felt like reaching out to him, to go see him, to ask if he wanted something, wanting to know more about him. Without knowing it, Grayfia found herself in places he was, or in places where people who knew him were.
