But if Herscherik learns that he has people that want to live and not be killed over money, then he/she can spark a bloodless rebellion.
Usually nobles of history let greed and gluttony get the best of them, and they either find themselves on the deathbed with 100s of innocent's blood on their hands...
Or be hanged as 100s watch them die.
If the people learn that Herscherik wants them to live, then Kuro would just be the first.
