Convincing the former prisoners

"First thing first, since I bought you, I want to tell you what do I expect from you guys. Do any of you know how to farm or tend to the animals?"

As soon as the soldiers left me all alone with the prisoners, I turned to them with the question. Even if the first thread of communication between us was established when they listened to my orders as they built the boat, it was only a seed that I had to take care of as to let it grow into a proper relationship of master and servants!

"Do you really think the overlord will allow you to settle in this place? Dream on!"

Instead of replying to my question, one of the former prisoners exclaimed with a look of ridicule in his eyes.
