He tried to make a living for himself. Thought he was doing pretty damned well, too, for a while there, all power-filled and full of himself and grinning at the world, and, damn, it felt so good to stand up there, higher than everyone else, next to Her, with this power in his senses and knowing he was so much stronger than before, now. And, god, the looks of fear the people gave him when he looked down at them, the looks of admiration because he was Her knight made it all the better, all the better, and he loved every moment of it, loved every single moment.
Until Squally-boy had to come and smash it down with those words and those ideas of his, had to take his glory by defeating him in front of Her, trapped in a fucking cage like an animal, and he hated him so much for it, for making him look so weak in front of everyone who had once thought he was so powerful and a force to fear. So he watched with a sick sort of happiness when Squall fell at Her hands, tumbled down and down and Rinny screamed for him, because she was so goddamned quick to change her mind, and he got to stand over the pretty leader of this campaign against him and Her, and give him that look, and show just how powerful he was, and Squall had actually looked scared there, spread on the ground and bleeding, like the fucking martyr he tried so hard to be.
And he was on top again, feared, and revenge had never been sweeter
