The Despair of First Prince Maximilian Lewin Royal [Part 2]
Maximilian’s POV
“Maximilian Lewin Royal, you will be under my control from today on.”
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 anymore.
Soone who wasn’t ate, rested, t 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 , Maximilian.
No matter how loud I scread,
No matter how desperately I shouted,
No matter how much I cried and pleaded,
…what ca 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)”
“The ti of the extracurricular lesson when the king is absent will be a good day to carry out our plan. (Please stop it)”
I would destroy the country I was supposed to protect.
Soone, please stop this.
Stop .
Soone…
Soone…
Soone…
End of Maximilian’s POV
“Did you say sothing, Your Highness Maximilian?”
Inside the office, the pri minister, buried under the piles of docunts, lifted his head.
Before him stood First Prince Maximilian, who had finished his study abroad the other day and returned from the Empire.
“Yes, a dozen ships from the Empire are scheduled to arrive at the Port of Simmons tomorrow.”
.
“Ships from the Empire? Moreover, a dozen of them? We have never received any word regarding that…”
The pri minister pulled out the list of permits to enter the Port of Simmons from the stack of docunts to confirm.
“Yes, sorry about that. I completely forgot that I have invited so Imperial nobles I got along with during my study abroad. I haven’t done the formalities for the ships to enter the port.”
First Prince Maximilian smiled brightly and asked the pri minister to be lenient with it this ti.
His smile, voice intonation, and way of speaking, all of them, were of First Prince Maximilian.
Still, the pri minister tried to hide his clouded face from First Prince Maximilian desperately. ‘How could the first prince, a mber of the Royal Family, apologize so easily? Moreover, there’s no way he would ask , the pri 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 pri 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 soone.”
The queen didn’t say “Perhaps…” but declared affirmatively that Maximilian was currently under soone’s control.
Other than the pri 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 soone was brainwashed because of hypnosis, the unnaturalness in one’s expression would be obvious.
Brainwashing was an old thod that had long been used in power struggles between aristocrats, so how to see through it had already been widely known.
One’s expression beca limited, and there were no fluctuations in one’s emotions.
Everyone in the room reacted sensitively to the queen’s statent 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.
