Spoiled by mr. russell chapter 2261 -Rhea would control everything and possibly threaten Fred if that were the case.

“Not yet.” Rhea looked troubled. “I understand your concerns, but R20 can only work alongside hypnosis now, which takes time to learn. We must lay the groundwork and give commands to hypnotize someone, especially in the early stages.”

For example, flicking the wine bottle was a subtle suggestion to Ross, conditioning him to the hypnosis.

“Enough!” Fred held up a hand and grew impatient. “Just hearing that gives me a headache. Remember, you must still listen to me, even if you can control many people. Is that clear?”

“Yes, Your Grace.” Rhea lowered her head.

The queen served as a cautionary tale for him. She trusted him even though he would later betray her. That was why he would never believe in anyone so quickly.
