Upon hearing Tenur's question, those men looked at each other, still uncertain if it would be worth it to venture alongside this man.
It was a fact that Tenur was impressive and had created fantastic things.
His promises were also generous and attractive. But these men knew that someone like him would attract trouble even if he didn't mean it, and being next to him would be the same as having that trouble for themselves.
They knew Amir well and had this servant's case in mind when thinking about what happened to those very close to Tenur.
Death was what most likely awaited them!
Everyone would die, but these men at least wanted to reach their 40s.
Would they make it to Tenur's side? The oldest of them was only 25, so he had a long way to go to reach his goal.
Being with Tenur could be a way for him to get further away from that achievement!
