‘I can’t compete with Duke in terms of shrewdness when it comes to politics.He's a veteran, and I’m
just seventeen.."
She whispered with her quivering lips, "I heard my mother call someone.She hired two bioengineers to
make biochips.She was planning to implant it into your brain.Once it’s done, the chip will turn you into a
different person.Your thoughts, the words you use, and your behavior will be manipulated by the
biochip.You will do things against your control..."
Duke frowned.
‘So, that is what Mavice is up to.No wonder she drugged me and locked me in here.
‘I’ve heard of this biochip before.Earl’s underground company was involved in this business...
‘This emerging intelligent technology violates moral ethics.It has been publicly banned, but many
companies are nevertheless researching and developing these chips in secret, and are making huge
profits out of them"
"Terry, run."
Madelyn was practically begging him.
‘I cannot let Mother do such a crazy and cruel thing.If anyone knows about this, her reign as a queen
will be over"
Duke said calmly, "Do you have your phone with you?"
Madelyn was shocked.She took out her phone.
"What’s the matter?"
"Lend it to me."
Duke took the phone and sent out a few messages.He then deleted them before giving the phone back
to Madelyn.He sat on the chair and said indifferently, "Thank you for your reminder, Princess
Madelyn.But I don’t plan to run away.Please leave."
Madelyn was shocked.
"Why?! If you don’t run away now, you won’t have the chance to escape anymore!"
Duke closed his eyes and did not utter a word.
‘While I’m here, I can’t trust anyone else"
Madelyn pursed her lips and said in a low voice.
"It’ll be too late for you to regret your decision later...You will definitely regret this, trust me..."
She turned and walked out of the secret room slowly, hoping Duke would stop her.
Unfortunately, even after she closed the iron door behind her, Duke had not made a sound.
Mavice was in the study room working on business matters when her subordinate came in and
reported in a low voice, "Princess Madelyn went to the secret room earlier"
The hand in which she used to hold a pen stiffened when she heard this.She looked up and asked
coldly, "What is she doing there?"
"She drove all the guards out.No one knows what she said to Terry North.Your Majesty, if you’re
worried, you may go and take a look."
Before she could give a reply, another guard rushed into the study room.
"Your Majesty, something has happened! And it's not good!"
"What happened?"
"The Black Party members who have pledged allegiance to us in Hestia Border are causing chaos all
of a sudden.The local resource factory blew up, and we have lost at least two billion dollars!"
Mavice stood up instantly.
"Are you sure the Black Party members did it?"
"Yes, it’s them.We let our guard down because they have surrendered their weapons.That’s why we’re
in great trouble now. Terry’s words echoed in Mavice’s head.
"If I can make the Black Party pledge allegiance to you, I can also make them revolt against you..."
She put down the documents she was holding and rushed to the secret room.
Duke was sitting calmly on the chair, as if he was not a prisoner there.
Mavice opened the door and walked in as she said coldly, "There's been an explosion in the
factory.You're the one behind it, aren’t you?"
