Kurt's yelps became louder, and time after time after especially hard smacks he squeaked sounding like a girl, not like a boy and definitely not like an adult. "That's... OW! That's enough!" he said feeling tears streaming on his cheeks. "Stop!!"

"I say when it's enough. You have to pay for everything you did until now. Running away from home, giving up your duties and responsibilities, becoming a mercenary, and bringing shame to your family name!"
He continued, ignoring the crying of the boy.

"Ouch! OUCH!" she cried became louder. Kurt didn’t swear or tell anything rude to Valentino's scolding: right now he was too busy with dealing with pain and shame.
"Ow!! Stoop!" he asked again crying and tried to cover his sore rear end with a hand.

The knight continued for a while. Then he stopped. He took his leather belt and folded it.
"Now...I will give you twenty more smacks with my belt. You will tell me why you earned this punishment and you'll promise to behave. Then we will be done."

Kurt sobbed angrily. Now when he knew that Valeriano is stronger, he thought pretty stupid to protest openly. But his proud didn't let him to say anything to man's words. He just nodded and wiggled a little to get rid of stinging.

"Good boy." He caressed his head, before striking with the belt.
SMACK!!!SMACK!!!SMACK!!!

Kury howled from the first smacks and tried to set free again. He was strong for a boy of his age and hoped that probably he would be able to succeed – although he didn’t think at all about his next actions.

Valeriano gave five smacks with the belt.
"That's for trying to escape your punishment again. Now, tell me why you are getting punished."

Kurt yelped so loudly probably the whole castle could hear him.
"Because you are stronger," he answered crying. That was the correct answer. Kurt knew that he wouldn't get spanked if he still was adult.

"Wrong. You are being punished because you deserve this. Stop thinking you have the right to do anything you want because it's not true. You are a kid now. And you will never become an adult again if you won't change your attitude."
He gave a strong and sharp smack.
"Why. Are you being. Punished?"
