Tomas returned to his chamber, glad for the rest after the long day of being shown the manor and its grounds. He had just inherited the entire estate from a great uncle on his mother's side, or something of that sort. He hadn't known the man - but apparently, he was his closest living blood relation, and so the manor had been passed to him.
He had grown up as a peasant, his maternal grandmother having run off with a shepherd when she was young, and so he was unused to all the finery. He had hesitated to dismiss the servants working in the manor, though, not wanting to put them out of work. Of course, there was one matter he had not dealt with.
His uncle had a human slave - not completely unusual among the noble and royal classes - that had been living withing the manor since she was young. He had been told the girl was enslaved for life, paying off a heavy debt her parents had owed his Uncle. Despite that, he had treated the girl well, raising her and educating like a daughter of his own flesh. The liger was left to decide what to do with her, to sell her off or keep her there. He had taken a seat in one of the large, comfortabel armchairs in his chamber, and asked that the girl be summoned before him, so he could see what she desired.
