"That makes sense..."
"Hmm, having a place outside Noskain, not completely dependent on our state, might create opportunities and a safe refuge for the lord."
"Not to mention that it would keep Tenur away from dangerous people in the capital... Knowing the old people there, they would try to take Tenur away from the lord or kill him if they could not have his property."
"As much as buying that land is not going to be something cheap, it might be worth it."
Several more experienced servants there commented among themselves. At the same time, the guards in the surrounding area listened to everything, feeling that Mero was not being unfair by treating Tenur so favorably. This might seem like a gift to this slave initially, but it was a move for their master's future.
Thinking about it and how this place and Tenur could benefit not only Mero but all of them, these men saw nothing wrong with their master's plans.
