This is an excellent premise for a great story, and I look forward to reading more. Congratulations on your first entry here!
Good introduction, though there needed to be some explanation that this was set in a different and inexistant environment. The holes left give it potential but it needed ‘Part 1’ in the heading as now you’re stuck with a Part 2 and no Part 1.
It is intriguing - the idea of a court awarding ownership of a slave to a private citizen as compensation for damages. That creates a unique relationship between them that is quite different than if he were a stranger who had purchased her at a slave auction. Also fascinating the way you are having her owner treat her as a human being with feelings, even as he enjoys his prerogatives as her owner. I do hope you continue this wonderful story - at the same time I hope that you will find someone to help you proofread!
Criminal laws in this country are a bit strange to put it mildly and some more editing would have been helpful but the story is interesting nonetheless.
