"Fascinating, very fascinating indeed. But before I decide your punishment Janet who also goes by Alice, I want you to stop curtseying me and stand like a proper maid." Ms. Chair ordered Janet.
Janet let go of her skirt and held her hands together in front of her. Deep down, Janet worried what Ms. Chair would do to her next. For because of her extremely polite Alice personality, Janet was now forced to obey everything Ms. Chair told her. Ms. Chair then spoke again.
"So Janet who also goes by Alice, it would seem that you are completely under my control. Am I right to assume this?"
"Indeed it is ma'am. I am forced to obey your every request ma'am." Janet responded, wishing she hadn't said all that.
"Excellent. Now, are you aware of my status as a Duchess?"
"No ma'am. I was unaware of your status as a duchess ma'am."
"And yet you still obeyed me? Why?"
"Yes ma'am. It's because I altered my personality using the magic amulet around my neck ma'am."
In her mind, Janet was shocked that she had told The Duchess Chair about the amulet. She truly had no control of herself at all.
"A magic amulet you say? How extraordinary. But that doesn't explain why you would allow youself to become so subservient in the first place? So then tell me why this instant." The Duchess Chair commanded.
"Because I wanted to act like my favorite literary character ever, Alice from Alice in Wonderland ma'am. But I hadn't realized that by doing so, I had accidentally made myself an unwilling servant to other of higher social status than my own ma'am." Janet said, fearing what The Duchess Chair will do to her with such knowledge.
"Ah, so that's it then. I unsterstand everything now my dear. But before we go any further, I have one more question for you. You said you went by either Janet or Alice, but which one do you prefer? And tell me the truth."
"Janet ma'am. My real name is Janet ... ma'am."
"Very well then, now for my first punishment. From this day forward, your name will no longer be Janet, nor will you ever think of yourself as Janet ever again. Instead, you shall be known as, and always think of yourself as ... ALICE!" The Duchess Chair shouted into the girl's very soul.
Inside her head, Alice was panicking. Not only had The Duchess Chair succeeded in changing her name to Alice, but she had also made it so that Alice could never think of herself as Janet ever again. Back outside, tears were forming from Alice's eyes and were pouring down her face. The Duchess Chair noticed this and gave another command.
"Alice, stop crying this instant. Put those tears back where they came from and never cry ever again."
Alice immediately stopped crying as her tears magically reversed direction and flowed back into Alice's eye sockets. Alice remained motionless as The Duchess Chair prepared for the next step in her punishment.
