Lawyer gazed intently at Natasha.

“So, how many hits are you planning to take? Decide for yourself.”

Natasha was silent for a moment.

“······.”

“If you hesitate to answer, I’ll decide.”

“Th, that’s!!”

Only then did Natasha answer in a panic.

It was because she thought that if Lawyer decided himself, he would beat her until her buttocks were tattered, at the very least.

Lawyer, as Natasha had experienced him so far, was more than capable of doing so.

But even so, deciding the number of hits herself was extremely shameful.

The very act of deciding the number herself made her feel as if she had truly done something wrong to Lawyer.

It was truly a catalyst for amplifying shame.

Even though quite some time had passed, Lawyer’s gaze grew even colder as Natasha didn’t answer.

Even though he wasn’t saying anything, she could tell that the situation was quite serious.

Both Natasha, the person involved, and the retainers watching the situation sent anxious glances.

‘Say something, quickly!’

‘You damned elf! Are you planning to kill everyone here?’

Although they couldn’t say anything, she could tell what the retainers were saying to Natasha just by their eyes.

It was the oldest retainer who barely managed to get through this situation.

He was a retainer who had served Lawyer for so long that he could speak to him directly.

“It seems that quite some time has passed. Since the elf doesn’t seem to be used to the work of a maid yet, I think His Majesty the Emperor should educate her directly.”

“Direct education?”

“Yes, wouldn’t it stay in her memory longer if you teach her directly at first? If she shows this behavior again the second time, I think it would be fine to punish her severely then.”

Lawyer had a look on his face as if he was contemplating something for a moment.

But before long, a smile appeared on his lips.

“······Indeed, you may be right. Isn’t it also a necessary virtue for an emperor to educate those who are lacking at times?”

“That is correct.”

Only after confirming that a smile had bloomed on Lawyer’s lips did the retainers think that they had overcome the crisis.

With relief that his anger would fortunately not continue, they pondered the elf’s treatment.

Actually, it was ambiguous to call it treatment.

The retainers already had a clear idea of what was going to happen in the future.

They were just thinking to themselves, ‘How long will that elf last?’

‘Was the maid who lasted the longest only a week?’

Even that maid who lasted a week ended up committing suicide.

The suicide note contained what Lawyer had done to her, but it disappeared as if such a thing had never happened.

It was the empire that could sufficiently conceal the emperor’s weaknesses.

They thought it would be similar this time.

“Natasha.”

An extremely cold voice called out to Natasha.

When her name was called, Natasha hesitated for a moment.

“······What are you planning to do?”

“You seem to have forgotten honorifics again. Are elves originally this stupid?”

“······Such an insult!”

“Or did you send everything you should have used in your head to that big lump of flesh?”

Lawyer’s hand pointed to Natasha’s breasts.

Natasha’s breasts certainly boasted a large figure. This was an extremely outstanding point of pride even among the elves, who were said to have been born with the abundance of the earth.

Normally, having an outstanding figure was as good as a compliment for an elf.

But the situation was completely different now.

Natasha was about to get angry at the blatantly insulting remark.

But Natasha couldn’t say anything at Lawyer’s subsequent action.

Lawyer, who had already approached Natasha, lightly slapped Natasha’s cheek.

Even the retainers watching didn’t expect it.

Of course, the most embarrassed was Natasha.

“It seems you don’t understand words properly. Originally, a whip is the best medicine for a beast that doesn’t understand words.”

Moreover, it didn’t end with just that.

Lawyer’s hand began to squeeze Natasha’s neck tightly.

“Is this how far I have to go for you to listen?”

The act of strangling makes the other person feel a sense of crisis in their life.

The vision spins, gradually turning white, and at the same time, extreme fear dominates the body.

Moreover, as Natasha had hardly ever experienced such a thing, the shame she felt was even greater.

“······Heo, cough. Keok.”

Natasha, who barely managed to utter a voice in her strangled state, muttered with difficulty.

“······Le, let go······Save······me······Kehk.”

“Will you properly repent for your mistakes?”

At the last chance that Lawyer seemed to be giving, Natasha desperately nodded her head, shaking off the difficulty.

“I’ll be expecting it.”

Thud.

Only then did Lawyer release his grip.

Natasha gasped for breath and coughed.

Tears streamed down her eyes.

***

After a little time passed, Natasha was in a calmed state.

She wasn’t gasping for breath like before, nor was she crying.

“There are also the mistakes you’ve made so far. Now, how many hits will you take?”

Lawyer held up a switch and beckoned with his hand, as if he was doing someone a favor.

“······Fi, five hits.”

Natasha managed to speak with difficulty.

For her, taking five hits was also a very shameful and painful thing.

But not for Lawyer.

“Five hits, that’s ridiculous. Let’s start with ten.”

Lawyer, who had already made up his mind, couldn’t hear Natasha’s words.

In fact, he had no intention of listening from the start.

All of this was just an act to inflict even more despair on Natasha.

Natasha couldn’t resist either.

She lifted her buttocks high as Lawyer ordered.

It was the moment when Natasha’s full buttocks were revealed to all the retainers in the conference room. The split seam of Natasha’s private part was faintly visible through the very thin underwear.

Even that alone made the retainers feel as if their lower bodies were swelling.

“From now on, count the numbers.”

“······Ju, just a moment!”

Natasha’s cry was not followed. Rather, it turned into a desperate scream.

Every time Lawyer’s hand moved, a sound so loud that it made one shudder just to hear it was heard.

Thwack! Smack! Thwack! Smack!

“Ha, one! Two, two!”

Every time the switch struck her buttocks, Natasha’s back arched like a bow.

“Three!! Four!!”

Her legs were already trembling to the point where they couldn’t be controlled.

“Your knees are about to bend. Straighten your legs more. If your knees touch the floor, it’s not a punishment.”

Lawyer’s words were calm, but they contained an unavoidable coercion.

It was a kind of warning that extreme punishment could be inflicted if she failed to maintain her posture.

“······Yes.”

Natasha inadvertently blurted out honorifics.

This was a kind of change that appeared within her.

It could be seen as a result learned from fear.

At this moment, Natasha desperately wanted the pain to pass quickly.

But the whipping that was directly inflicted on her buttocks was an extremely unbearable pain.

Blood-soaked wounds gradually formed on her buttocks.

On the other hand, there were those who watched the process as if they were enjoying it.

Of course, they were the retainers who had watched Lawyer’s actions for a long time. In fact, this was now a common occurrence for them.

They had seen so many things that were worse than this that it was practically not enough to be eye candy.

But unlike watching human maids being beaten, there was another kind of fun in watching a precious elf endure shame and shout.

A kind of fun of ruining something precious that one could not normally covet.

A pleasure that stimulates the primal desires of humans.

“······Eighht······Nineee······Tennn······.”

Before she knew it, Lawyer’s relentless beating was over, and Natasha had also managed to take all ten hits.

Natasha touched her buttocks, which were swollen red like a tomato, with her hand.

An extremely stinging shock and a tingling sensation filled her buttocks.

But Lawyer wasn’t going to stay still after seeing that.

“The punishment hasn’t all ended yet, but you touched your buttocks?”

“······Pardon?”

“You should know that if you touch yourself during punishment, you have to start over from the beginning.”

“Wh, what are you talking about······?”

Natasha trembled her eyes as if she couldn’t believe it.

The retainers knew that this was Lawyer’s habit to tease the maids.

In fact, the punishment was already over, but the maids who were thrown these words would tremble in even more fear and mentally collapse.

After going through this process, most maids chose one of two things.

The first was to completely collapse mentally and choose death, and the second was to fall into a state that was no different from a livestock completely captured by Lawyer.
