<em>Of course I can see that she's in pain</em>, he wanted to snap at the slave. He wanted to grab her by the shoulders and shake her violently, wanting some way to let his anger out for having to do something so sick and twisted to his little sister.<em>I would know when my own loved ones are hurt by my own hand, Goddamn it!</em><br/><br/>Instead of doing that, he closed his eyes and took several deep breathes in an effort to calm himself before he opened his eyes and walked to where Christine was. His stride measured every step so he didn't go flying in a bloody rage. He looked down at her with narrowed, arrogant eyes. There was an advantage in being a tall person and this is one of them for sure.<br/><br/>"I know that, Christine," he said coolly. "Which is the whole point of punishing her. She must realize that, as a slave like you, there are things she cannot do anymore. Being a little brat is one of them." He spoke to her like she was a young child, asking a question that should be obvious even to her. "When she does that, something she cannot do, she must be punished. It's that simple, dear. If you do bad, bad things happen to you. If you do good, good things will happen."<br/><br/>He looked to where Annalisa was, raising an eyebrow. "Isn't that right, Annalisa?"<br/><br/>Annalisa growled at him quietly but nodded, not wanting another session with the crop after what she went through. She rubbed her tender ass with her fingers, wincing ever so often while she tried to assess the damage the strokes did. It was only five but it hurt. God knows how she would have reacted if it was more than that...<br/><br/>While Annalisa mused, Louis educated. Or, did his version of it. After seeing Annalisa and her actions, he turned his attention back to Christine, gesturing to the other slave now.<br/><br/>"See? She knows how to behave now, you all will see what will happen but it didn't happen to you and the guests had a show to watch," he said, as if it justified his behavior and actions. "Everyone is happy and earned something from this. Should we not focus on the outcomes and not the process?"
