The Trial Of The Slave Bard

[thehangingtree]

The slave Eulalia had become quite famous and not just for her writings. Already renowned for her special coffee grid, there was an added mystic to the blend knowing she had survived a 24 hour sentence nailed crucified to a cross…



The problem was that the coffee shop was getting complaints that the quality of “Eulalia’s Premium Grind Coffee” was beginning to vary. The most vocal critic was a man named Tree.

He had argued with the slave Eulalia’s owner, Melissa, was being used by her slave.



Melissa would argue that she was beating Eulalia like a rented mule and Tree would argue that that was all Eulalia wanted. It finally came to a head when Tree threw down the bond to cover the cost of Mel’s slave.

“Look, Mel, the coffee is only as good as the slave grinder and if the slave is more interested in being beaten than making good coffee she has to be tried.”

“But what the hell am I going to do?” Melissa asked. “I’ve built a business around Eul’s blend!”

“Wasn’t Eul’s blend made under your tutelage?”

“Well, yes, but she is special. She grinds differently because she was crucified for 24 hours.”

“I don’t see a problem with that” Tree replied. “Pick your next best trained slave and I’ll crucify her.”



“Tree, that’s not right.”

“Who gives shit, Mel? I posted bond and Eul goes before Judge Admi.”

“But what am I to do about marketing “Eulalia’s Premium Grind Coffee” if I don’t have Eulalia?”

“They are slaves, Melissa! Like I said give me one and I’ll crucify her for twenty-four hours and then you can call her ‘Eul’” I said almost exasperated. “Damn, are you and Julie getting soft?”

“OK, that would work, but what am I to do while my new ‘Eul’ is recovering from being crucified. I can hear you bitching about the coffee already?”

“I’ve got a plan for that…”



It was Eulalia’s day for rest and relaxation when Melissa walked up to her. Eul offered herself submissively to her mistress but Melissa told her that it wasn’t necessary. At first Eul enjoyed her freedom to ravage her mistress…

…Then she asked “Why are you giving me such freedom, Mistress Melissa?”

“Tree has put bond down on you, Eulalia. You are at the mercy of Judge Admi’s court.”

“There is no mercy there, Mistress. Please kill me now.”

“You know I cannot, Eulalia. Just try to enjoy the day…”

You know you'll never find another Eul!​

​

There's a cruel place somewhere​

Where Tree's best tall cross stands​

And I'll be there some day​

With nails dug through my hands​

But you'll need to get me back Mel,​

No matter what they do,​

For you know you'll never find another Eul.​

​

If you buy yourself a new slave​

Your profits will be small,​

You'll close down tomorrow​

No customers at all -​

If you lose your slave, Melissa,​

You won't know what to do​

For you know you'll never find another Eul,​

​

There must always be coffee​

Hot on Ulrika's tray,​

And I'll grind your coffee​

For ever and a day -​

You can search the whole world over​

Until your life is through​

But you know you'll never find another Eul.​

​

Another Eul!​

​

Sing along!​

She's begging already...

Ok, Eul, fix the title of the thread (Tree wasn't drinking enough when he 'cut and pasted', though he is working on getting pasted now) and he might let you live. But be warned there will be obstacles to overcome along the way.

A couple are already laid out- Tree has posted the slave bond and Admi is holding court!!!!!

Title? : "OBSTACLES"
Obstacles? Sure! Starts in the dungeon: dry shaved over the whole body, left for some time in incomfort and now ready for confessing. And Mister Tree (with beard) coming with his notebook....for acting. It'll be a good beer worth after that.

I'm very honoured by that request but who is the prosecuting attorney?

but in what way will we get our cvoffee and other drinks?

 

[thehangingtree]

Slaves need not have a prosecutor or a defense... More about that in a bit (Tree has some real world stuff to do)

The court clerk, the devine Ulrika, has been detained for... I mean has voluteered to sevice the court...

‘Enjoy the day’ she says. Not only am I going before Judge Admi I will be tried before a jury of my peers- slave women! Girls try to stick together but slave women look for a better life. I have been a slave of Melissa’s and Julie’s for years and with the small exception of my crucifixion I have been treated well and beaten when I chose to be.

There is also the jealousy factor. While slaves are not lounging before a television we know who the pampered slaves are. And I am one. I cannot believe Tree has put the bond down on me.

Bond is set by the value of the slave. As property a slave’s tax value is value at either the selling price when she was bought at or her declared value. It’s a slippery slope that if you value the slave low you save on taxes but you risk the bond chasers claiming her. Melissa had declared a high value on Eulalia as the bard came to her on her own desire to be enslaved and had brought much business to the shop…



She had toiled mightily as a slave grinder and had brought notoriety to the coffee shop as both a writer and with her public crucifixion. Rarely had Melissa seen such fear in Eulalia’s face.

Trying to comfort Eulalia Melissa said “Admi is a fair judge. You will get a fair trial.”

Eul was not buying what Melissa was trying to sell. “Mistress, if the jury is ‘of my peers’ there are none who would not convict me just to take my place in your attention.”

“That is nonsense, Eulalia! They all know I beat you more than they!”

“Exactly, Mistress, my point…”

yep and Judge Admi is pleased about her supple movements.....................that will be a nice showtime on her cross if the judgement process has taken place.
With those nice tits and hips, a gorgeous bottoma is she a ravishing beauty on a big black Y-cross to what I will condemned her. I hope that the carpenter can produce such a cross.

Eul had every reason to be afraid. The slave girls of Melissa’s and Julie’s stable a different breed of women that live for the pain of their Mistresses’ whips and the public humiliation that comes with the worthless life of slave. She would be treated better if she were an animal. But she is commodity to be bought and sold and used at the whims of her master or mistress as tawdry decoration or as entertainment for their guests…



But in every stable there is, correctly or not, the perception of one slave being the owner’s favorite. And while the others were used and abused by Mel and Jul, it would be easy to perceive if not their favorite slave, Eul was their most valued for both her notoriety and her coffee grinding skills.

Melissa was not happy with Tree but she also knew he was right about Eul changing the grind so she could be beaten more. To many a slave girl the sting of the whip is better than a soft caress. The night before court Melissa and Julie chained Eul and whipped her until Eul could no longer stand and continued to flog her until their arms were too tired to continue…

Eul was brought to court the next morning.



As she was taken out of Mel’s car Melissa said “Please Eulalia, just ask for mercy.”

“Since I have been your slave have I ever dared to do so, Mistress?”

Melissa knew the answer as she led Eulalia up the stairs. It was not lost on Eulalia she had seen many slaves escorted up the front stairs but had never seen one come down them.

They reached the entrance to Judge Admihoek’s courtroom. Eulalia looked at the sign proclaiming ‘The Honorable Admihoek… Slave Resolution Courtroom One’. She laughed and asked “’Honorable’; Admi?”

Melissa slapped Eul and said “You will be respectful, Eul. If you are not I will match your bond and set you free!”

“Oh, Mistress, you wouldn’t do that to me!”

“In a fucking instant, Eulalia; you will be on your own” Melissa snapped back. “Now let me check your irons… You look good, Eulalia.”

The bailiff Ulrika came to get Eul and presented her to Judge AdmiHoek. She read the charges against Eul and added “The prick Hanging Tree has doubled the bond, your honor.”

“As I suspected he might” Judge Admi replied. This is not good for you, Slave bard Eulalia. I wash my hands of your fate and turn you over to be judged by a jury of your peers. By the way, nice outfit, Eul.”

“You are most kind” Eul replied…

“’Honorable’; Admi?”

 

[thehangingtree]

Years back, Eulalia joined the slave trade, consigning her rights as a free woman over to Melissa and Julie. Eulalia was trained to grind coffee for their shop and was also used to satisfy their friends and customers alike. Since finishing high school the slave life was all she knew. She wasn’t sure which frightened her more; the possibility of being executed or being set free.

Judge Admi leaned over his bench and said “Before this slave bard can be subjected to the rigors of a trial of her peers I am required to determine if she is physically healthy enough to be tortured…I mean tried and executed… if convicted, of course. Will the bailiff prepare the slave in my chamber for examination?”

Eulalia looked with fear in her eyes to Melissa and cried “Mistress?”

Melissa looked down to hide the tears and said “Do as you are told, Eulalia.”

After the bailiff Ulrika left Admi’s chamber he began his examination. It started gently enough with a strong beating of her backside with a wooden paddle, but Eulalia knew he would not be satisfied until he had filled her every orifice with his monstrous cock…

Judge Admi determined that Eulalia was fit to stand trial (and a few other things, too, but…) and he asked Melissa when she could assemble her slaves for Eulalia’s trial. Mel said Sunday night would be best and Admi scheduled the trial to begin at 9PM.

A slave-girl trial by her peers is a bit different than most. First the slaves assume the accused is guilty of whatever she is charged. It would have to be unanimous for them to find her innocent and send her back to her master or mistress. That is unlikely as the next assumption is their masters want the girl found guilty and they would suffer the wrath of their masters if they found otherwise.

Once guilt is confirmed there is the sentencing phase. There are three possible sentences. The first is that the slave should be given the remainder of her conscription as a slave is served in a labor camp. Slaves are generally freed on their 35th birthday, so Eul would have many years of hard labor ahead of her. At the time they are freed they would be given a payment equal to 75% of the average union wages for the region they were enslaved. It was a goodly amount as they had no expenses and there were assumptions of night differential, Sunday and holiday pay. But a slave sentenced to a labor camp is paid only 50% wages of the standard work week and only for the time they were with their masters. There not only no pay for the time in the labor camp but they owed the camp for ‘food and shelter’. This often left the slave destitute and with no skills she would often submit to the foreign slave market. Even at 35 the Asians had desire for western women and the westerners scoped up the Asian women…

The second option is the slave would be sentence to death. Cruel in itself, the slaves judging their disgraced sister also would recommend how she would be executed. There is little worse than bored imaginative minds…

Except for the third option; they could expel the slave and order her freed. The slave would surrender her stipend and be branded on the forehead, each breast, and both buns of her ass with the letters ‘XS’ for ex-slave. There is little market for branded women that could not even make it as a slave. Statistics aren’t published but many soon commit suicide while many others join sadistic ‘convents’ that at least provide a roof and food. But the shame of being expelled was considered the worst…

a grim prospect - the 3rd option I mean.​

The other two I could cope with ​

​

One thing, if you're following the principles of Roman Law -​

and what civilised nation doesn't?​

then it's necessary for a slave to be tortured -​

evidence, even a "guilty" plea, not extracted under torture​

is of course inadmissible.

The Honorable Admi is agree with the defendant

that crap about remodeling the coffee shop was just a cover to give Eul's 'sister' slaves time off to help with her confession...
