work the land

"Lizzy" that's what you said your name was. let me properly introduce myself my name is Laythe" said the king lying through his teeth. "I was a meer soldier that was conscripted into the kings forces on the city walls before the city fell. I thank you for taking care of me while I was **** and I would like to make it up to you" said Laythe. "By working on your land while I'm healing you would be able to soften some of the financial burden of looking after me" Laythe reasoned. And all the while I could make some coin to look after myself. Lizzy gave me a sigh " I'm sorry I'm not very rich the most I could spare is one copper a day" she replied seeming genuinely sorry . You wanted to shout that you were a king for god sake but you held your tong your anger would not suit you in this situation. Even for a commoner one copper would be considered below an average workers salary. but on the other hand you did not want to make to much of a fuss and get kicked out. worse there is the possibility that someone could recognize you, and you are not about to open that bag of worms.
