"Please do not worry, Count. Your thoughts have not been tampered with," Medea said with a smile. "The fact that you can still question whether your thoughts have been altered is the best proof that I haven't exerted my power on you."
Friedrich fell silent for a moment, then chuckled, "I apologize, I lost my composure."
Indeed, if the other party planned to take action against him, logically, they wouldn't tell him about it.
