"W-What?" I stuttered. I completely understand what he said, but what I don't

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.
