Well, it was a long time ago that I read it, but it went like this, ad libbed:
Kahlan: I must confess you to resolve some plot issue where if I didn't the bad guy would win and the world would end!
Richard: Do it!
Kahlan: I'm super sorry about this! *magic Confessor touch*
Richard: Are you done yet?
Kahlan: What? How are you still sane and not a stalkery slave to my will? You're supposed to worship me now.
Richard: Don't you see? I already love you. I love you so much that it's like I already am your slave because I would do anything for you.
Rashaka: Wait, reader here, I'm confused.
Book: About what?
Rashaka: So did she confess him or not?
Book: She did! But it doesn't matter, because he already loves her. Moving on.
Rashaka: Wait, wait, I'm still confused! Obviously he still has free will. So did it A) not work because he already loves her and if he loves her then the power has no effect, meaning she failed to actually complete the Confession? or did it B) successfully work, but Richard is too stupid to know the difference between loving her because he chooses to and loving her because of magic? If it worked, why does he retain his free will and not act like a crazy zealot slave-worshipper?
Book: You ask to many questions. There's like 20 sequels in this serious. Get over it.
