Gone away? Well then,... then he has cast me off for good! I have come back, but he could not wait a single instant for me! Very well, then, I am now perfectly free. Surangama, did he ask you to keep me back? (SURANGAMA: No, he said nothing.) Why should he say anything? Why should he care for me?... I am then free, perfectly free. But, Surangama, I wanted to ask one thing of the King, but could not utter it in his presence. Tell me if he has punished the prisoners with death. (SURANGAMA: Death? My King never punishes with death.) What has he done to them, then?
