Freedom

The two enter the court where a judge was presiding. It was empty save for a few onlookers. This wasn't exactly a situation that warranted a large crowd. The judge enters as he sits down on his seat behind his desk. He shifts through his paperwork and reads the information on it. He looks at Ardit and Ari, mainly eyeing Ari with a judgemental look.

"Ardit," he begins, "you are one of the most prestigious and wealthy CEOs in our modern and advance world."

"That is correct," Ardit answers with smugness.

"I also heard your reputation with slaves is mostly positive. You take good care of the poor, don't you? You really must care about them for being so kind and gentle with the little ones."

"I am proud to say that I do," Ari rolls her eyes at this comment.

"So, tell me, why do you want to free this one? The one you call Ari. I'm sure you are aware that our modern world requires all citizens to be skilled, industrious, and provide for the betterment of our society."
