Should he stay calm?

[CheertheSecond]

You are Phil, a slave.

You worked for a small noble house. From the head of the family to the young children, they treated every servant very fairly.

After earning enough money to buy back your freedom, you said farewell to the noble family.

Two years later, a revolution happened. They wanted to end the corrupted royalties and nobles. As an educated person thanks to your time living in the noble house, you feared the rebels would recklessly attack innocent nobles. You decided to act as the voice of reasons while trying to get in touch with the noble house you used to live in.

You discovered that the noble house was all killed at the early stage of the uprising. You were too late to save anyone. You was distressed and was aspired to create a good country.

It was 12 years since you left the noble house now. One day while visiting an veteran revolutionary, you discovered a young girl beside her older sister's corpse. After a lot of investigation, you knew that the servants of the noble house coveted their wealth so they reported noble house as corrupted nobles. The head of noble house, his wife along with his son were hanged. His two daughters (12 and 5 at the time) were used as rewards for revolution soldiers. The two girls were treated like animals. They were forced to crawl leading to abnormal bone and spinal development. Their vocal cords were mutilated to make them unable to speak, only growl like animals.

As an educated person, would you calmly collect evidences and bring the revolutionaries to justice or would you abandon rationales and go full inquisitor?

Better question, do I really care? Fair treatment for a slave is still probably not great, and any family that buys slaves is probably not THAT nice. So I think the correct answer is to feel a little pity, and move on with my life.

I mean... what are you trying to accomplish with the question?

A former, well-treated slave might still have loyalties to their former masters. If he was treated that well, it is surprising they didn't get hired on as a freeman afterwards by the family.

Unless there is some legitimate tie to that family, like a debt owed or something along those lines, I can't see the former slave doing anything more than pity the children, perhaps at most collect the evidence.

Now, if he had solid friendships with that family, say if they had saved him from worse masters, or he was the tutor for those girls when they were children, he may have more of a wrathful stance.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

You should always stay calm. The question is whether you can or not.

go full inquisitor

Define what that means

Here is my most important question, what is the noble family to me?

I sound cold but other than a previous amicable master-slave relationship that ended nicely, I have no other tether to this noble family that has been wronged. If I still have any connections, such as boning their daughters or NTRing the husband, I might still feel enraged abit. But for now, I'd rather keep my head low because the rioters are all animals and still on that self-righteous BS.

Also, you should not phrase my role as a slave. A serf or servant might slightly elevate my impression of the family, but slave?

I get that slave is the correct term, but still.

And the last but most damning of all, so what if I collect evidence for the rioters' crime? Who do I hand it to? And most law tends not to punish the masses. Most odds is that I will get my ass branded a tattletale when a bunch of people sodomize me to death while those officials watched on laughing

If I have the power to go ham, I might as well just go ham. Not because I want to go ham, but because I can. *insert my own self righteous reason*

Remember Rule Zero, without power you can affect nothing.

There are no innocent nobles.

Before things like life imprisonment and declaring bankruptcy existed. Criminal slavery and debt slavery were the only ways to deal with people who couldn't get their lives in order, so back when slavery was commonplace, the options were to support slavery or support the death penalty.

I apologise for not answering your question.

I would stay calm, keep my head low and maybe collect some evidence and hide them. Most likely these proofs will not see the light of day because I don't believe in the current governing body and their competency in dealing with the riots.

I would also have to understand that this evidence might one day kill me depending on who's holding power in the future.

I would especially hide from existence considering that the rioters are animals and might do a chain extermination.

After 2 years?? After two years of not seeing people, I don't really care what's going on. At that point they're acquaintances at best. I'm not sticking my neck out to become a slave AGAIN. -or possibly die for no reason seeing as the people I DID know are already dead.

After 12 years?????? Who even are these people?! Have we met? After 12 years, sorry bruh, I don't think I owe anybody anything, especially people I had to call Mass'a, and Ma'am.

I stay calm, mind my own d*mn business, and move further away than where the trouble seems to be centralized. Sorry, dead folk are dead, prayers and all, but if the government isn't there to care, who am I, except an EX-slave, to tell them they're wrong, or bad for doing so? They'd probably lynch me for no reason than because it'd be funny to them. No, I don't care. Bye, toodles. See you never. I'm moving to Canada.

To see if I could invoke any emotion that I wanted from my readers.

Since you have already given the character some conviction, I can only go and calmly collect evidence. Being an inquisitor would be OOC in my opinion.
