There’s a well-known scene at the beginning of King Lear where the aforementioned monarch demands that his three daughters praise him and declare the quality of their love for him in exchange for their inheritance.
Only Lear’s youngest daughter, Cordelia, refuses to participate in the fluffing of the old King’s ego. After each of her older sisters rain down a deluge of transparently false-hearted praise on their father, Lear turns to Cordelia, expecting an even richer declaration of admiration from his favorite (knowing full well that his youngest is the only daughter who truly loves him).
