"Your Highness!" Taking a step nearer, Alexander offered to shake his hand.
Ross gave him a deep look and shook it.
"This way, please!" They led the prince inside the house and proceeded to the study room. Closing the door, Alexander turned on
the surveillance system and sat down with others.
He then poured them each a cup of coffee. They were quiet for a moment.
"I'm sorry you have to chere, Your Highness," Alexander said.
"Don't be." Ross shook his head. "Although I'm a prince, I've been through all kinds of hardship before. Besides, you've got a nice
house."

He glanced around and nodded approvingly.
"I'm glad you like it. You'll have to stay here for a couple of days," Alexander said.
Remembering something, he gestured at Mike and said, "This is Mike. You guys spoke on the phone."
"Oh, it was you." Catching on, Ross nodded. "I'd like to thank you. If you hadn't warned me, | might have fallen into her trap."
"Don't mention it, Your Highness," Mike waved no. "I'm just doing my part."
"Well, | really appreciate it."
Nodding, Ross looked excited, although he was a bit tired.
He left the embassy early today and switched cars after leaving Kingsland. He then made several detours and returned to
Kingsland.
Thinking he was hypnotized, Fred must have assumed he left the city.
"I'm quite curious. How did you know that they would try to control me?" No longer putting on airs as he did when he first met
Alexander, Ross had becmuch friendlier.
Exchanging a glance with others, Mike said, "If you must know, it's because it happened tobefore."
"Oh, you toldover the phone that Rhea tried in vain to control you through hypnosis and sdrugs. Why were you so afraid
that it would work on me?" Ross was puzzled.
Mike said, "I wake up easily, so it's difficult to hypnotize me, not to mention that | was on guard. Therefore, | couldn't say for sure
that her drug wasn't practical.
“Whatever it is, it's better to take precautions. Fortunately, you decided to work with us. If you hadn't told us about Rhea, we

"Well, | was curious what was a woman from Hyderland doing in the embassy. | had to be careful." He nodded, pensive.
In the beginning, he didn't trust Alexander and others completely. He only noticed Fred was acting strange after returning to the
embassy.
Although he didn't find anything unusual in the embassy, the people there looked anxious, as if hiding scrucial secrets from
him.
As most of them worked for Fred, he couldn't determine what was wrong.
When he realized Rhea was trying to hypnotize him, he decided to play along.
He pretended to leave the city to see what Fred would do.
