What does this section suggest about the king?

King Vandemere cares very much for the people of his kingdom. He even built a new castle to be closer to them, showing he cares about what and who they are. The dungeon, although dark, is clean, showing that even his prisoners are treated well. They are kept warm, and given private cells. Further, the king's request that he write his story shows he is interested in hearing Ven's side of the tale.
