As we continued along the unfamiliar route, my heart raced with uncertainty and my mind spun with questions. lowever, my apprehension soon gave way to bewilderment. as we came to a stop in front of the grand entrance of a renowned mall that stood as a beacon of opulence within the kingdom.

understand is why he is doing this. Isn't he supposed to drag me down the dungeon and give me one hundred lashes for trying to deceive the king?

"Is this place doesn't suit your taste? Would you like to go to another place?" he asked.

"N-No, no, no! That's not what I meant. I was just a little confused. Can you help me out here? What's going on?"

He then looked a at me as as if he were eyeing me. I cleared my throat, as I felt uncomfortable when he started to look at me from head to toe.
