Why have the words, ‘pretended’ and ‘seemed’ been used in the lines: ...pretended to believe every single word of what the tiger king said. And seemed to be taken in by all the lies. How does the sense of these lines connect with the line ‘Ajamil wasn’t a fool’?

Ajmail knows that the treaty that he signed is not a permanent one and he was also sure that the tigers are going to attack them again one day. Still he wanted to sign the treaty for a temporary peace.

Hence the words ‘pretended’ and ‘seemed’ are used to express Ajamil’s feeling that he didn’t trust those tigers.
