The interrogation did not go as Thana had expected it to be. She had thought the prince would be terrible enough to twist her words and treat her horribly enough to bring naught to her means of reason and justification, but it had gone the complete opposite. In fact, it had gone questionably well.
She never thought they would engage in such a calm conversation and would believe each other' point of view easily. However, she never would have expected Maximilian's reason for all the efforts in pinning Thana down with her identity.
It is all because of the woman who had cluttered not only the prince's thoughts but also his quality of life. The prince failed to mention how his situation has affected his work tremendously. Often times, he would skip his duties and responsibilities because of a severe headache caused by overthinking.
