Much less the ambitious and wicked Second Prince could never have told the truth.

“So let’s check it out.”

“How? Only he knows how to undo it…”

But instead of answering, Ian made the attendants bring something.

“Maybe this will do.”

“This…”

The knights’ faces became strange. 

What the attendants brought was none other than a basin full of water.

“Why is this…”

Ian gave a signal to Galon and Fiosen with his eyes instead of answering.

Nathan looked at these three people puzzledly.

Snap!

“What… What? What are you doing?!”

Upon Ian’s signal, Galon and Fiosen strongly restrained Nathan.

“Stay still. It’s the prince’s order.”

“If anyone has been brainwashed, it must be you, Nathan. Do you think I don’t know that you recently entered the Second Prince’s annex?”

“I… I never did that!”

Nathan had no choice but to let himself bring his head in front of the basin with his hands held tightly.

Ian ordered without hesitation.

“Put him in.”

As soon as the words fell, Nathan’s head plunged into the water.

Blurp blurp blub.

Rather than undoing the brainwashing, it looked close to water torture.

Ian pressed Nathan’s head with his small fingers to keep him from doing anything.

Due to this, Nathan felt he had been wrongly accused.

“Abub-bu-bub! But why do you experiment with this?! You have Fiosen!”

“Because Sir Fiosen is the heir to the duke?”

“Then what about Galon? Following that logic, aren’t I the heir of the marquis?”

“Galon is my escort, so he has to escort me, right?”

“!?”

“Trust me. Water knows the answer.”
