"My darling has arrived!"
"Ahhh~~ I can't believe he's finally back in the city."

One by one, the peasant women shyly flocked across the gates, holding hand-weaved baskets of various sorts.
From time to time, they would pretend to be strolling about or here on some business matters.
Some even lied that they had brothers and cousins working as guards here, while others came to try applying for any available positions, be it as an assistant cook or even a maid.
Yes!
With the many slaves in the estate, what chance would they have in getting these positions?
It should be noted that the peasants that did get hired were primarily put in positions that overlooked the slaves.
These peasants would be the Chief cooks, Chief maids, Head Stablemasters, Head Gardeners, etc.
That was how it has always been, not just in the estate, but almost everywhere else in the continent, and maybe the world as well.
