"Can you really still give them their freedom?"
After the servant led Lin Chen and Qiu Chan away to rest, Sean sat down and asked in a steady tone, "You're surely well aware of what that ability of theirs can be used for."
Talina nodded. "Yes. I already promised. If not for Lin Chen, my father and I would never have escaped. I would have been forced to marry someone else and never have another chance to rise up for a lifetime."
Sean nodded. "They saved you, that really helped a lot. But they themselves are slaves you bought. Everything they have belongs to you, including his ability, his Magical Treasure, his life. You paid the price; isn't it only right that they serve you?"
"You are Master; their whole life should be spent in your service. That's only natural. You can reward them, but there's no need to grant him freedom and let him leave just because he helped you once."
Talina frowned. "But I already gave my word."
