The issue related to the two accusers ended just like that. King Gerold admitted that it was his fault for neglecting the farmers in the village, and he decided not to punish the two poor farmers.
He simply asked the two farmers to return to the village and continue to work hard to produce high-quality wheat.
The King's decision surprised the ministers because they thought that the King would at least give punishment to the two accusers. Several ministers openly expressed their disapproval, but the King did not change his mind until the end.
King Gerold could see that some of the ministers wanted to see the two accusers get the punishment they deserved, but the King simply said that the matter wasn't big, and he would win the trust of his people again without needing to punish the two.
In addition, the food sent by the King did not hurt anyone outside the palace, and the King believed that his subjects would know that this was all a scheme.
