Upon entry to the House duCroix, you enter an alternative world:
A Matriarchy, where Ladies are worshipped as Goddesses and males exist only to serve Females. A world where the suffering of males provides entertainment for the resident Mistresses.
Why? Why not, if it pleases a Lady?
In order to achieve and maintain the level of respect and obedience the Ladies deserve, it is paramount that the Rules are rigidly adhered to and enforced by the Whip-Handed Mistresses.
The Rules serve both to let the male creatures know their place, but also so that the Ladies may relax and let down Their hair, secure in the knowledge that they are in a safe environment.
The House Rules number five and slaves are expected to learn and recite them when prompted.
Rule Number One
Any female encountered at the House is to be addressed as ‘Mistress’, regardless of whether they are resident Ladies or Guests. Males are usually called ‘slave’, ‘boy’, or ‘it’.
Rule Number Two
No slave may look a Mistress in the eye. This is seen as a sign of defiance and will not be tolerated.
Rule Number Three
No slave may speak without permission. After all, slaves’ opinions are generally wrong, unimportant and unrequired.
Rule Number Four
No slave may touch a Lady. A Lady, however, may touch a slave in any way They choose.
Rule Number Five
At the few times when a slave is required to speak, on occasions of being issued with orders or when subjected to punishment, it must give a polite and respectful response, for example: ‘Yes, Mistress’ or ‘Thank You, Mistress’.
