Yes she is brainwashed. She said that within the 2nd or 3rd chapter, I forget which off the top of my head. She mentioned the look that her traveling companions had that look of absolute obedience to the Emperor and how she once had that look before her fall. She knows she cannot disobey him so yes she is brainwashed. Hayden’s provocations around her parents were over the line. He was attacking her not realizing he was driving her further into a corner that she saw no escape from which has been central to her character thus far, her need to escape and run away from her fears and problems. So rather than run, he forced her to take the only option from the crushing pain and fear left to her. His look of smug confidence after she pulled the sword turning to horror and then to fury was sublime. You reap what you sew, you jackass.
He knew that the topic of her parents was a sensitive one, but he kept provoking her. The girl has been through a lot and the ML keeps pushing her to strip her down and make her vulnerable to him. She’s already stressed on top of her doubts and insecurities regarding her family.
@randombookloverr I think he is trying to prove to her that what the emperor had told her was all lies meant to brainwash her and the people from her country

Yeah,The Emperor is obviously evil and shit.
He’s just probably trying to open her eyes by provoking her and making her see the truth
