You're a young orphan and the heir to a large fortune. Unfortunately that means you have an etiquette tutor who helps with your studies and how to be a proper young man/woman. Your tutor lives in house with you, not just to teach you how to be a proper young man, but also as a servant. Whenever you make a mistake or obey he lashes your palms with his whip. Too bad you don’t have a parent to complain to. Not that they’d care anyway. Currently you're studying with him, your palms burned from your recent lashing, plus you slept in without permission so now you're incredibly fatigued.
