And apart from serving the royaltys wishes and commands and paying a high price for mistakes- they were paid very good as long as they worked. Them and their familys profited from those jobs. As is also nowadays- where the pay and benefits are high the price of mistakes is also high.
True true. Working for the royals bear heavy stakes but as well as benefits.
So I still can’t getover how hot the sultan is. Asdfghjkl—
Anyhow, for those who are saying beheading the workers is too cruel, maybe it is. But what happened was negligence. They could’ve take turns on eating so someone could keep watch. Working for the royalty in early ages means employees’ lives are basically owned by the King/Emperor or in this case, the Sultan. Justice is according to them. Their words are basically the law. Working for them also means you have to be careful not going on their bad side because your lives are at stake.
Also, being lenient to mistakes can also be mistaken as tolerating them so harsh punishments are often given to set an example that mistakes are not easily overlooked. Its just too bad that the mistake here involves the woman who the sultan is obsessed about so the punishment was cruel.
