The magician took advantage of the few seconds I was shaken because of her hair and eye color and cast her magic.
From that day on, my body didn’t belong to me anymore.
Someone who wasn’t me ate, rested, met people, all using my mannerisms, and gave out orders that I definitely would never say.
And I could only see and hear all that.
Even though I knew about this disgusting plan, I couldn’t even let my voice out freely and inform anyone of this.
And then, the principal offender of that disgusting plan was me, Maximilian.
No matter how loud I screamed,
No matter how desperately I shouted,
No matter how much I cried and pleaded,
...what came out of my mouth was orders for the Empire to invade the Kingdom.
“Prepare the ships. (Stop it)”
“Load the artillery into the ships. (Stop)”
“Rain those cannonballs down on the Royal Capital. (Please stop)”
Still, the prime minister tried to hide his clouded face from First Prince Maximilian desperately. ‘How could the first prince, a member of the Royal Family, apologize so easily? Moreover, there’s no way he would ask me, the prime minister, for leniency for the formalities to enter the port. His Highness Maximilian understands everything about the Kingdom’s political system. If it were him until now, he would go directly to the Port Entry Bureau if he wanted to do the procedures for entering the port.’
“Understood. I will arrange it right away.”
“Yes, please do.”
Maximilian nodded with satisfaction before leaving the office. The prime minister saw him off, and after the door closed with a *click*, he sighed while holding his head.
“Sure enough, what Queen Victoria said was right all along...”
Last night, when everyone fell deeply asleep.
Under the queen’s order, several important figures were called together in utmost secrecy.
“Maximilian is being manipulated by someone.”
The queen didn’t say “Perhaps...” but declared affirmatively that Maximilian was currently under someone’s control.
Other than the prime minister, Royal Guard Knights and other ministers also couldn’t believe it so readily.
“What are you saying, Your Majesty?”
“Your Majesty, you are saying that His Highness Maximilian is brainwashed?”
“If he was brainwashed, there’s no way we wouldn’t notice it, right? His Highness’ expression was natural, and nothing felt out of place with his smile.”
If someone was brainwashed because of hypnosis, the unnaturalness in one’s expression would be obvious.
Brainwashing was an old method that had long been used in power struggles between aristocrats, so how to see through it had already been widely known.
One’s expression became limited, and there were no fluctuations in one’s emotions.
Everyone in the room reacted sensitively to the queen’s statement as they found it unexpected and offhand. After fully digesting her words, they all suddenly turned angry and aggressive.
They couldn’t see any of those signs in Maximilian after he returned to the Kingdom.
