I mean c’mon now, no excuses. When Princess Sofie comes home and sees problems everywhere the last thing she wants to hear from her slave is excuses as to why such and such isn’t clean, why there are soda cans everywhere and so on. Now she will have to drag him by the ear from room to room and slap his face to make him understand that she does not want to hear excuses, she wants results if he is to remain her slave. She will permit him to kiss her hand in subservience and beg for forgiveness, but it better not happen again.
