Zachery had remained silent the whole time the beating went on, unable to say a word as Charlotte was beaten before his eyes.  His own eyes were red as he cried and sobbed silently for the poor girl, hating every single moment of it, and unable to do a damn thing.  Lady Shaw couldn't have picked a worse punishment than this as he was forced to watch every moment of it.  He couldn't blink, let alone close his eyes as it continued on for what felt like an eternity.  When he was moved though, it snapped Zachery out of his stunned silence.  "You couldn't...just let her off...with a hand slap?!"  He growled, though it contained no force or strength behind it at all now.
