Bubba was quite pleased with all this. He was getting a handsome number of crowns for his own services and just might get to sell these Slaves once again. Those of faint heart could make themselves feel more pure by freeing their Slaves but the matter was not so simple as it seemed. A Slave in Sheria was marked as such and no paper or intention could change that. Often the plight of a freed Slave was worse the what had before. After all, Bubba seldom laid the whip on a Slave. In most cases the threat was sufficient. However, Bubba had no intentention of trying to disuade Kallick from a course that might bring more profit to Bubba.

Of course Kallick could could keep the workers here and pay them. That would give them a freedom of some sort but only so long as they remained workers at Kallimeyra Plantation.

Bubba was not particularly greedy. He would not risk the money he was getting from this original deal in order to get more. If by some means, Kallick found a way to actually free the Slaves, that would not bother Bubba a bit. The need for Slaves seemed endless, thus the supply of Slaves would remain endless.
