No... just kidding

Zelda wanted to curl up and die. She was bent over and fully exposed to the crowd of people in the market. She could hear Dark Link to her side, he seemed to be waiting for the crowd to quiet down. It took a moment, but the people calmed down enough for him to be heard. "Your princess has committed a great and terrible crime by resisting the rightful rule of King Ganondorf." He shouted with no small amount of snark and impish amusement. "As such she is to be punished in accordance with the King's wishes."

Oh goddesses, Zelda thought, it couldn't possibly get worse, haven't I suffered enough already? Zelda held back the tears, she would make it through this, no matter what kind of humiliation they threw at her, she would endure. She had to.

Suddenly, Zelda felt a sharp 'crack' against both of her ass cheeks. From the sound and the feeling, she knew that she had just been smacked with a thin, wooden rod. Dark Link smacked her again, producing yet another cracking sound. Then, Dark Link took a breath to shout over the crowd once more. "King Ganondorf has ordered that the princess is to punished in such a manner, until the people themselves have decided enough is enough."

No, Zelda thought, the crowd was positively eating up her humiliation, it could be hours until she saw the end of this. Behind her, she could hear the crowd cheering with even more gusto. The princess had her answer. She winced as yet another stinging blow rang across her backside. She had no way of seeing herself, but she knew the rod must have been leaving red stripes across her ass. Almost as if to distract herself, the princess began to count the strikes. 'Crack' Four. 'Crack' Five. 'Crack' Six.

Before the count had even reach twenty, her legs were shaking and her ass was red like the tomatoes she had been pelted with. After count thirty, however, Dark Link stopped. Even so, Zelda was afraid, she had no idea what would happen next?
