After the two men had left her alone, the baroness tried to collect herself. Her poor behind hurt so bad. And what in the name of God did Frederick want with her in the main hall? Well, it didn't really matter, she had to go. With a final little sob, Matilda removed her knickers from around her knees, and waddled off to the main hall.
The hall itself was a huge room. It was the main dining area, as well as the place where all baronial business was conducted. One side of the hall had a number of long tables where staff and guests could be seated to eat. The other side of the hall was completely empty, except for one large ornate chair for the baron himself.
When Matilda arrived at the main hall, Frederick pointed to a corner of the room and told Matilda to go there and wait. The baroness started to demand that Frederick tell her what was going on. But, before she even finished getting the first word out, Frederick smacked her on her behind and told her to get moving. As sore as her bottom was, even that slap through her skirt and petticoats stung. Matilda lowered her head and walked over to the corner.
After Frederick sent Matilda away, he waited for everyone to arrive. Stephen had been sent to gather all the servants, and he would return with them to the hall as soon as possible. Sure enough, less than 5 minutes later, Stephen returned with the other 8 members of the baronial staff. The staff included maids, cooks, and gardeners, and none of them had any idea what they had been called for.
When the entire staff was assembled, Frederick made an announcement. "I have determined that my wife is unfit to manage this household. Therefore, she is no longer in charge and none of you are required to obey her orders. However, I cannot leave my household unmanaged. So, I have hired Lily Freebush to take over management of the staff. You will obey her as you would me"
Matilda tried to remain calm until she heard the name Lily Freebush. She knew that was her husband's mistress. After that, she couldn't keep quiet any more. The baroness screamed over to Frederick that he was not bringing that woman into her house under any circumstances!
The baron glared over at Matilda. Then he took a deep breath to calm down. When he had collected himself, he explained the situation to his wife. "My dear Matilda, what makes you think this is your house? I am the baron here, and this is my estate. The house as well as all the property belongs to me. Not only that, but as my wife you are as much my property as anything else. From this moment forward you will have two choices: You can obey my orders to the letter, or you can be punished.
The baroness couldn't believe what she was hearing. She was still sputtering when Frederick told her "to get her FAT ASS OVER HERE!!" The enormous woman waddled her way over to her husband. Matilda was still trying to talk to her husband as she arrived, but he just told her to shut up and turn around.
When Matilda was facing away from the crowd, Frederick told her to get down on her knees and put her head to the floor, so that her huge ass was pointing back at the staff. The amazed noblewoman started to object, until Frederick told her that if she didn't obey by the time he counted to 3, he would take that board to her bottom for the next solid hour!
Matilda was horrified, but she had no choice. Her rump hurt so bad already. She didn't think she would even survive the type of beating that Frederick was threatening. The baroness also knew that her husband was right. Under the law, his wife was really property of the estate. He could do anything to her he liked and no law would interfere.
With a final sob, Matilda got down on her knees and bent over. As soon as her bottom was in position, Frederick called up Stephen. He told the butler to prepare the baroness for instruction. Stephen was grinning from ear to ear, as he lifted the fat baroness' lower garments, so her huge rump was exposed to the crowd. Matilda almost went into shock as she felt herself being exposed to the staff. She started to object, but quickly remembered what would happen. The miserable woman just knelt there with her huge behind laid bare and waited for what was coming next.
After Stephen had put Matilda's ass on display, the entire room broke into laughter. When the laughing finally died down, Frederick began speaking again. He pointed to Matilda's broad behind and pointed out the board marks and the bright red color. From now on, he told the staff, Matilda was to be instructed through her ass. Trying to put instructions into her head hadn't worked, so now he would try the other end. "Now I know that some of you helped put these stripes on this enormous rump, but three of you haven't had an opportunity. So I want the three people who haven't smacked this thing to step over here."
Two gardeners and a cook stepped forward. Frederick handed one of the gardeners the board. He told them he knew how Matilda had mistreated the staff. Frederick also told them that everyone should have gotten an opportunity to help teach the baroness a lesson. Therefore, each of the three servants was to take the board and give that bottom one good whack.
The gardener with the board couldn't believe what he was hearing. But he wasn't about to miss an opportunity to pay back the baroness for even some of her abuse. He took the board and aimed it right across the center of that rump. When he was ready, he drew the board back and swung. The board landed perfectly across Matilda's behind. SPLAT!!!
The baroness had heard what Frederick had said. She started to beg him not to do this. Her poor behind hurt so bad. But she realized it was going to happen and there was nothing she could do about it. Matilda began to whimper as she waited for what was coming. The woman was so wrapped up in her own misery, that she didn't even notice when the first servant began his swing.
A moment after impact she noticed. Matilda screamed and reached back for her behind. She started to jump up, but Frederick put a hand on the back of her neck and held her down. He told the baroness that she could scream and yell and rub her ass all she wanted. But, if she got out of her position, those three servants would take an extra turn each. Matilda rubbed and rubbed her burning behind. The thing was so big and she was so fat, that she couldn't even reach all of it. She tried moving her ass around, so that she could rub the rest of it. Finally, it cooled down and Matilda pulled her hands away and just cried.
When the big bottom stopped moving, Frederick handed the board to the cook. She despised Matilda and couldn't wait for her turn. As soon as she had he board, the cook tapped it twice against her target. Then she took it back and hit that huge behind just as hard as she possibly could. The resulting sound was so loud, it was music to the cook's ear.
