True, but that still wouldn't necessarily have gottn him off the hook. There is no indication in the question that there were any people there to witness the exercise, and besides, the king could do anything he wanted to. When you're the king, you can be as arbitrary as you like. At least, if I was a king, I suspect I would do pretty much as I pleased, or whats the point of being king? Of course, that raises the issue of why he started the whole thing in the first place, unless it was just a slow day in the king business and he was looking for entertainment.
