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 Politics — Commination of Beetles. Elven emissaries have offered aid only if human rights are respected.

  4. King leans toward Duchess Alice +1.

  5. Count Robert Gossip — Six of Wands. The court astrologer warned that justice misaligned with compassion will bring ruin.

  6. King Robert, your astrologer warns of ruin when justice lacks compassion—yet you demand punishment. That warning serves Alice's cause more than yours. I find it troublesome indeed.

  7. King leans toward Duchess Alice +1.
