They were unexpectedly co-operative, so I'll start with Tseng.
1)Tseng was part of a gang as a teen - the leader in fact, and he was enslaved after a warrior caste high noble spotted him and pressured the police to arrest the gang. They had committed crimes, but nothing serious enough for the police to make a special effort to find evidence against them, until the high noble intervened. As the leader, and one of the gang members over the age of sixteen Tseng received a 10 year sentence, the heaviest in the gang as extra charges were made against him, and him alone. (The gang members under sixteen were fined, and given a suspended sentence, which would kick in if they were ever arrested for anything after the age of sixteen)
2) Tseng didn't consent to train as a concubine; the high noble who had spotted him arranged for that information to be faked and made sure he was the first to buy him.
2a) Ironically Tseng's first owner (who incidentally was a bit abusive) sold him back after barely two months because he was too 'rebellious and disruptive'.
3)Tseng does love Sephiroth and Cloud, but not in the same way they love each other. He likes Elena, but that's closer to friendship than the love he feels for Sephiroth and Cloud - although it is a case of friends with benefits, which you'll see towards the end of Indenture.
