Not exactly sure if he won his freedom or escaped or why he never got tattooed upon returning to his tribe. Slaves aren't to my knowledge tattooed, so that's one way out of it, LOL--refusing to accept his offer.The tattoos represent the history of the individual within the tribe and are unique.  They must be earned by creating some sort of history, so there will be doubtless be some arduous initiation rituals/tests to pass first that will buy them some time.As to marriage, the chief doesn't seem interested in killing the baron and marrying the captive baroness (not that the king would probably recognize the wedding).  He does want to get the bailiff's embezzled treasure hidden in the baron's manor house, however, and he's been unable to do that so far because of the men-at-arms and knights and defenses.  Plus the treasure is hidden inside some magical portal or something that makes it impossible to find unless you know where to look and what to do.The witch thinks she may parlay her psychic powers into manipulating the chief to do her bidding without realizing it--offering to use her powers to help him attain his goals of conquest and getting the treasure in return for certain considerations...  Of course, she'll betray and abandon him at her earliest convenience. It may take some time to gain his trust.  If worse comes to worse, she's prepared to abandon her mistress and bodyguard/friend and start all over again somewhere else, with or without her (undead) mentor in the cult.  After all, you can always find new friends...  Ah, the joys of Chaotic Evil!  Not that we're using an alignment system, mind you.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
