Yes, in a way, but it's more than that. Better, as in, the life they've led before. There are plenty of people who are uprooted from what they know because others believe them to be dysfunctional and in need of care. What happens then is that they make the lives of those individuals worse than the lives they lead before. All because they really do believe what they do is right and just.

The king truly believed these people to be traitors and they were left in deplorable conditions. My only wish is that no matter what happens, that you do not result to their levels. I'm sure that you'll treat him like any other man and not leave him squalor, like our allies and friends.
