"Hmph. Well, if he wasn't interested, he could have just said so. He told the woman before me as much, but apparently I'm the one who needs to be locked up. You just admitted that his majesty had locked me up hastily and over nothing. Interesting that he should care now." Emmett scowled. As much as he didn't want to accept the food being offered by someone who had thrown him in prison over nothing, the plate before him offered more food than the poor wizard had eaten in years. A part of him hated himself for it, but Emmett ultimately decided that pride wasn't as important as survival. Swallowing his pride would be worth it if he could swallow some food too. 

Besides, after being thrown in jail over nothing, Emmett had made up his mind to leave Brivaria and never return. He wouldn't be seeing any of these people again anyway.

"If there are no charges against me, then you may as well just turn me loose after I'm done eating. The king has no interest in me, I've done nothing but made a fool of myself, and there's no real reason for you to keep me here. If his majesty is really the sort of man who imprisons others for nothing at all, then I regret making my offer in the first place. Such a person has no business siring and raising children. I'll simply leave this country, and I'll make sure never to return. I'm sure that'll make everyone happy."
