On the first day of participating in the 'Subjected to the Experiment' program, Miles knew that he was being researched because he, as a resident of The Grand Duchy, had an 'Artificial Soul' within him.
His Artificial Soul also led to his Spirit Energy being capricious and unreliable.
His Spirit Energy was crucial; it had an inspirational effect on some key Spirit Energy facilities within his territory, and held significant reference value.
That's why it was being studied. Moreover, the Lord had clearly told him, whether he agreed or not, he would employ various methods to conduct the research.
Miles had known all of this from the very beginning.
He had accepted it.
There was no need to force a determined Lord to resort to dishonorable methods, was there? It would be disrespectful to both him and the other party.
The Duke of Solin and Viscount Awak were conducting experiments on their people, and Ian was no different in that respect.
