What Name Does the Duchess Make Belinda Blumenthal Use?
In the chalet shower, Belinda whispers thanks while the Duchess's hands are on her. The Duchess frowns, steps out, and picks up the riding crop she had left on the washbasin. Belinda is to address her as "my lady" and nothing else. To make the point, the Duchess flicks the crop across Belinda's right buttock and leaves a red mark. Belinda jumps, grimaces, and says, "Thank you, my lady." The Duchess answers, "That's better, servant." The hosts file the scene under kink and say this chapter feels different from the maze. The required name is "my lady." The crop is how she enforces it.
