For the most insecure boys Tabatiere, Charleville, Cutlery, and Springfield: a master who keeps getting fed up with the boys saying that they're not worth being spoiled. Eventually, master snaps and says something like 'I thought my word was absolute. Doesn't that mean that if I say that you deserve this treatment, then no matter how other people insult you, you should only believe me. From now on if you say or even think about being undeserving, it'll be a direct violation of my orders.'
Tabatiere
Initially, he tries to brush off your concern— it's no big deal, you don't need to worry about him just because he's not good at accepting your affection. The order, however, gives him pause. You really care that much...? He's somewhere between flustered and a bit nervous that he's actually made you angry by being too "ungrateful". He'll try to do better, okay? No need to get worked up.
Charleville
It's hard to banish the thoughts that he's undeserving of your kindness from his head, but if you tell him not to voice them, Charleville can easily obey. Direct orders like this are an easy way to shape himself to please you, and he's optimistic enough to take your care fairly positively. You want him to accept your kindness; he can do that. Even if he doesn't entirely believe it internally.
Cutlery
Oh. You really care that much...? Outwardly, Cutlery grumbles and argues that you don't have to order him over something so simple, but that's just because he's too flustered to give in and accept. He's also a bit nervous about messing up and accidentally violating your orders (how mad would you be if that happened...?), but knowing that you care so much about his happiness offsets the fear.
Springfield
He's startled that you feel so strongly about him deserving your care, enough so to get a little teary-eyed over it. That, and the sudden sternness frightens him a bit. He doesn't want to mess up and accidentally violate your orders, and it would be unfortunately easy to slip up and say the kind of self-deprecating things he usually does. At least you care, though. That part is awfully nice.
