Chapter 133: Ambition and Greed
"How many have died due to ambition and greed."
"Ten, hundreds, thousands, millions."
"Yes, millions have died for these two dastardly emotions."
"These two emotions that are as powerful and prevalent in sentient beings as kindness, benevolence and forgiveness."
"No amount of wealth, power, or upbringing can stop these from manifesting."
"It is in our nature."
"Our nature as sentient beings."
"For a wealthy man may aspire for more money despite having enough to live, a noble man living in a mansion may aspire for more power, showing that status cannot stop these emotions."
"In fact, in many cases, those with wealth and power are the most selfish of all."
Reginald Coulan, creator and head of House Aurellion in Dynasties Online.

In the garden of a mansion, a man was sitting on a chair overlooking a small lake whose surface reflects the sun’s rays, the clear water glistening like gold as a small waterfall crashed a few meters away, giving a constant supply of water for the artificially made lake as the man enjoyed the peaceful sounds of nature as he was interrupted by his loyal butler.
