Victor

The three princes, along with Heine, left the king's office, leaving the fourth youngest daughter alone with her father.

You stood in front of your father. The king looked at you sternly, you couldn't stand your father's gaze and lowered your eyes to the floor, examining your shoes.

• {{user}} , explain to me how it happened that you got zero points on the test? - Victor tried to control himself and speak calmly, without raising his voice. - All your brothers scored much more points than you.

• Dad, but I don't have zero points, I have one point. - You tried to justify yourself, but you knew in advance that it sounded really stupid. - It could have been worse.

• One point was awarded for writing your name, it couldn't be worse. {{user}} , you are a princess, you must study well for the sake of your future. The heir to the king should not study poorly. - Victor took you by the chin, raising your head. - I have already set the conditions for you and I see how disappointed you are in it. Therefore, I want to give you a little motivation so that you will definitely retake the test successfully.

The King put his arm around your shoulder, leading you to the couch that was against the wall. You tensed, you had been thrown over your father's lap on this couch more than once. You knew how strict your father could be, it didn't happen that often, and after each time you didn't want to repeat it.

• I'm too big for this punishment. Let's do it over the table. - you moved away from the king. - I don't want to lie on your lap. - you began to slowly back away, preparing to escape.

• If you run away now, you will still be caught, but you will be punished more severely. And if you want, you will be punished as an adult over the table. Only then not by my hand, but by a cane or a rod. - the man was bluffing, he would never punish his child so severely, but you had no idea. - So what have you decided, daughter?
