The Jean Valjean Problem

A peasant caught stealing bread pleads for mercy while a merchant demands punishment. Duchess Alice defends compassion; Count Robert upholds order.

  1. King Let us begin. Duchess Alice, what say you?

  2. Duchess Alice Gossip — The Lovers. The royal baker was once a thief himself before being pardoned and hired.

  3. King The royal baker? I had not thought of that man's origins in years. If he truly mended his ways, it proves mercy need not breed contempt. I am not yet decided, Duchess, but you have given me pause.

  4. King leans toward Duchess Alice +1.

  5. Count Robert Politics — Exile of Moons. Criminal gangs are using fake sob stories to evade justice.

  6. King Gangs exploiting mercy... that is an ugly thought. If leniency becomes a tool for the criminal, the crown looks foolish, not kind. I do not like the image this plants in my mind, Count.

  7. King leans toward Count Robert +1.
