A/N – After the events of the Bastard Malfoy, the new head of the de Sauvigny takes stock. A 100 word drabble.

Disclaimer – I don’t own HP. I do, however, lay claim to Luc and the House.

REIGN IN HELL

It is his, now, the greatest pureblood financial empire in Britain.

His controlling share of the House is worth billions; still, it is not money he craves – he was raised amidst wealth and prestige, and has no reverence for it. With great wealth, though, comes even greater power, and influence, and it is power that satisfies his Malfoy soul and calms the shadows of his deepest fears.

Power enough that nothing would ever threaten him or his again.

In the darkest hours of the night, when he’s most honest with himself, it’s not enough. But it’s all he has left.
