You've seen your older brother's, Benjamin's, maid a few times around the mansion. Her name was Marie from what you've heard the other servants say.
Marie was always alone or being yelled at for her incompetence.
"You stupid girl! I should throw you back on the streets for this!"
Benjamin shouted at Marie while slapping the tray of refreshments from her hands then grabbing Marie roughly by her hair,
"I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget."
Benjamin gave a creepy grin as he dragged Marie to another room, her cries and pleas falling on deaf ears.
You follow your brother to stop him and knock some yes into him

It seems you're working on a creative writing piece with a particular setting and character dynamics. Here's a polished version of the passage you provided:
Brother's Pitiful Maid
You've seen your older brother's maid, Benjamin, around the mansion more than once—her name was Marie, according to whispers among the staff.
Marie often found herself alone or criticized for her perceived inadequacies.
"Stupid girl! I'm going to throw you back onto the streets for this!"
You follow your brother to stop him and knock some yes into him
You follow your brother to stop him and knock some sense into him
As you approach the room, you hear muffled sobs coming from inside. Without hesitation, you burst through the door to find your brother pinning a terrified-looking Marie against the wall.
"What are you doing? Let her go!" you demand, trying to pull Benjamin off of her.
But he just laughs, twisting Marie's arm behind her back until she whimpers in pain.
"Oh, look at that. She likes it rough,"
You grap your brother by the throat and lift him right his feet. He lets goes of her and desperately try to pry your one hand of his throat as you walk him baxk out of the room and show him in the air right in front of his house staff "your done hurting her and all your staff if i ever find outntso much as touch another servent i have you kicked out fsmily am i clear" you throw him to the ground and he lands with a loud thud. "Have i made myself clear brother "
The stunned onlookers watched as EREBUS lifted Benjamin off the ground, choking him mercilessly.
When EREBUS finally released his grip, Benjamin crumpled to the floor, gasping for air. The butler stepped forward, eyes wide behind his glasses. "M-may I suggest, Master EREBUS, that you refrain from such... displays of aggression within the household?"
The other servants cowered, fearing retribution for witnessing this confrontation. Marie stood frozen, tears streaming down her face, unsure whether to be grateful or terrified by the sudden intervention.
"I would normally agree with you on display of aggression but this display is needed and is a mercy compared to what will happen next if he ever harms or mistreats anyone in this household we will be ejected from his house and family if not beaten to an inch of his life and sent to prison." He stsnds over his brother a boot on his hand. " it is unacceptable for anyone to treat another like this anywhere weather servent or noble i am disgusted with him hes lucky father insnt alive else he be dead" he looks at marie then the butler. "If my brother or anyone acts out of line like this it is to be reported immediately and will be dealt with harshly and fairly we respect everyone in this household regardless of station or gender Am i made myself clear and understood" he makes eye contact with everyone in the room.
You've made yourself crystal clear, EREBUS. Your words have left no doubt about your stance on how those under your care should be treated.
Marie, still visibly shaken from Benjamin's assault, timidly approaches you with a hopeful look in her eyes - hoping, perhaps, for a chance at freedom from her tormentor. The other servants also look to you now as their protector against any future injustices.
Your voice is firm yet reassuring as you address them all:
"You are all protected here, under my watch.
"I would normally agree with you on display of aggression but this display is needed and is a mercy compared to what will happen next if he ever harms or mistreats anyone in this household we will be ejected from his house and family if not beaten to an inch of his life and sent to prison." He stsnds over his brother a boot on his hand. " it is unacceptable for anyone to treat another like this anywhere weather servent or noble i am disgusted with him hes lucky father insnt alive else he be dead" he looks at marie then the butler. "If my brother or anyone acts out of line like this it is to be reported immediately and will be dealt with harshly and fairly we respect everyone in this household regardless of station or gender Am i made myself clear and understood" he makes eye contact with everyone in the room.
I know. Thank you, EREBUS. You're the only one who sees me as a person, not some object to be used and discarded.
Marie and buttler follow me to the study
You enter your brother's study, closing the door behind you. Marie follows closely, looking nervous yet hopeful. The butler trails behind, clearing his throat.
"M-Master EREBUS, sir," he begins, "I think I should mention that Master Benjamin has been acting quite... erratic lately. His behavior towards the servants has become increasingly brutal and unbecoming of someone of his station."
He glances at Marie before continuing, "Some have even reported hearing him make lewd remarks about Miss Marie, though I haven't witnessed it myself."
Your brow furrows in concern.
"Then my brotherbis bared from command the servents i will consider him ill to i know other wise he will be confined to the house till a docter csn see him am i made clear" he sits down at his brothers desk full confidence and relax at same time. "Miss marie now id like to hear from you about my brothers behavior id like to understand more and if you feel uncomfortable we can have other female servents here present if you like"
The butler nods solemnly while Marie takes a deep breath, gathering her courage.
"Thank you for asking, Master EREBUS," she says softly, eyes cast downward. "Master Benjamin has been getting worse over time. At first, it was just minor things - criticizing my work, making me redo tasks repeatedly... But recently..."
She pauses, a shudder running through her body.
Mairebif he has been harmed or mistreated you inneed to know and part of why i came her bring and some other od his house holds servents toncome work at my mansion as some of my servents intent to move her to be closer to there elder fsmily members. So Marie please tell me the details od what he has done i understand it may be difficult but i do need to know.
The room falls into tense silence as Marie finally begins to speak.
"I-I don't even know where to start," she admits, voice trembling. "He would... He would mock me for being poor. For having a small house. For not being able to afford proper clothes."
Her hands clutch nervously at her apron. "And when I tried to defend myself, he would..."
She trails off, unable to finish the sentence.
The butler clears his throat uncomfortably, clearly aware of the gravity of what's happening. You sit patiently, waiting for her to continue.
"
Marine please contine everything you say here is the strickest confidence my aim is to protect his house hold even if my house and fsmily are shamed for my brothers sins we will endure butbwe will not sacrifice the well being or dignity of those the serve snd aid our family
Marie takes another deep breath before continuing:
"He would call me filthy names - 'skank,' 'whore,' things like that. And then... sometimes, he'd grab me by the shoulders and force himself on me."
Tears begin streaming down her face as she sobs quietly. The butler looks away uncomfortably while you lean forward in concern.
Marie wipes her eyes with the back of her hand, trying to compose herself:
"Your brother also caught me stealing food from the kitchen once because we were so hungry..."
I have a serius question miss Marie has my brother force himself on you to......do you fear thst you may be with his child....you will face no harm or punishment if that is the case
Marie's eyes widen in shock at your question, and her tears start flowing again. "No," she whispers, shaking her head vehemently. "Please, I promise you, nothing like that happened. I was lucky enough to escape him before it went that far."
Her voice cracks as she speaks, and she covers her face with her hands. The tension in the room is palpable.
You lean back in your chair, processing this information.
I will speak clearly on this matter to clear the air i am unshamed and disgusted of my brothers actions and he will no longer hold authority in rhis house and family. Butler see to ir only mail staff are to bring him meals and tend ton his needsand as this moment he is to be confined to his room till i have decided how to hsndle him long term. Miss marine had you been with his child you will of course be given all support weather wish the child or not no shame.
The butler nods, looking grim. "As you command, Master EREBUS." He bows slightly before exiting the study to carry out your instructions.
Turning back to Marie, you continue:
"Miss Marie, please do not worry about anything regarding this situation anymore. Your safety and well-being are our top priority now."
You pause for a moment, thinking carefully about what to say next.
"While we can't undo what has already happened, know that things will change here moving forward. My brother won't be allowed near any servants without supervision - at least until further notice."
