CHAPTER XXXII

 My king was unknown to me, therefore when he claimed his tribute I was bold to think I would hide myself leaving my debts unpaid¹.

 

I fled and fled behind my day’s work and my night’s dreams.

 

But his claims followed me at every breath I drew.

 

Thus I came to know that I am known to him and no place left which is mine.

 

Now I wish to lay my all before his feet, and gain the right to my place in his kingdom.
