I appreciate, if nothing else, that the King is not a complete idiot as is often part of the "whoops, wrong summon" trope-set, and recognised that having a bunch of food was not at all a bad idea, even if it wasn't what they'd had in mind...
Although on the other hand I was only worried it was going in that direction because the advisors were conforming thoughtlessly to the "kill the useless one" trope in the first place.
